Your Ministry (Pt. II)

Yesterday, I said that “If you aren't spending time with God in private places, your service to Him is worthless in public places”

Let’s assume that you’re good with God, and He’s calling you to serve.

Where should you serve, and in what capacity?

First of all, as Christians, we all have some overarching “ministries,” (areas where we can serve God.)

  1. Love God, love others. (The Greatest Commandment: Matthew 22:36-40)
  2.  Share God’s love, teach others, and send them out (The Great Commandment: Matthew 28:19-20)
  3. Be God’s ambassadors (Ministry of Reconciliation: 2 Corinthians 5:18-21) 
  4. Be PURE! (1 Thess. 4:3-10)

But what did God design you to do?

There’s lots of way to get ideas (examine your life: what do you like to do, where do you enjoy being the most, what natural talents do you have, etc.)

However, the absolute BEST way to find your ministry (other than praying,) is just to get out and serve! Commit yourself to serve in a ministry for a pre-determined amount of time. Don’t make it too short, you won’t get a full of picture of what it’s like to be in that ministry, but don’t make it too long either (you don’t want to be stuck somewhere that you don’t enjoy being!)

God DOES have a plan for you, He has plans for your future, plans to prosper you! So get off your butt and start looking for the future that He has for you!
