Are we all in a ministry?
Good.
Now we have to understand the difference of being in a ministry and serving God.
But ultimately, we must link the two together.
God has given us various talents for us to use and serve in His ministry. Some of us are good in singing, good in computers, good in managing kids, good in admin, good in logistics, and so many more. However, having a talent does not constitute serving in a ministry, or that is your calling. A ministry is a place that we can serve in, according to our talents. That’s why we should be in a ministry where we can better utilize our talents.
1 Cor 12:5, 7
God wants us to build up His spiritual household, His church. We are the vessels He uses to do that. That’s why we should and must commit to the church whatever our duties are.
Why must we serve?
Because we are created for it.
Eph 2:10
Because we’re saved to do so.
2 Tim 1:9
Because we have been called.
2 Tim 1:9
Because we have been authorized for service.
2 Cor 5:20
We are commanded to serve.
Matthew 20:28
You see God gave us the ability, the time, the strength, the tools necessary to serve in a ministry, all in the effort that we shall praise Him and reciprocate our talents for the betterment of His kingdom and cause!
Therefore, I encourage you to either take up a ministry, or even better yourself. But the most important part of this whole sharing is simple. Never treat your ministry as something to hold you back, or something that you find that there are better things to do. And there can never be a time when you find that you have done everything there is to do in your ministry. Therefore treat this sharing as an encouragement that you are doing something that God looks fondly upon, so do it with gusto and pride!
