Check this out: Numbers 16:9
Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?

The order of things in the verse are important ...
1.) "...to bring you near to himself (To get you closer Him)"
God wants first of all to get close to Him.
1.) "...to bring you near to himself (To get you closer Him)"
God wants first of all to get close to Him.
2.) "...to do the service of the tabernacle (To work in church or to play a role in church)"
Your work in church is only valuable after you have known Jesus and gotten close to Him.

3.) "...to stand before the congregation to minister unto them (To preach to others)"
And before you start preaching and ministering to others, you should have served in the tabernacle, played a role, been under a someone and then you graduate into preaching. All the successful preachers you see can tell you of the church they grew in and served.
