WHAT IS YOUR MINISTRY?

“BUT THAT YOU ALSO MAY KNOW ABOUT MY CIRCUMSTANCES, HOW I AM DOING, TYCHICUS, THE BELOVED BROTHER AND FAITHFUL MINISTER IN THE LORD, WILL MAKE EVERYTHING KNOWN TO YOU.” EPHESIANS 6:21

Each time Tychicus is mentioned in scripture he is running errands for the apostle Paul. (Acts 20:4; Ephesians 6:21; Timothy 4:12; Titus 3:12). Some might be so bold as to call him Paul’s “messenger boy”. We might feel tempted to consider Tychicus’s ministry as minor, especially in comparison to Paul’s. However, as we take a deeper look, we see that Tychicus delivered messages to several churches and played a huge role in distributing the Word of God! Would we consider that to be unimportant? Of course not! Tychicus had a crucial ministry and he worked hard to fulfill it. Have you identified your ministry? Are you fulfilling the ministry God has given you? The Lord has a special work for each of us. Sometimes it is easy to say, “I don’t have a calling, I’m not a minister.” How wrong can we be? The Lord has a work for each of us. Ask God what it is. He will identify it for you. Remember, it doesn’t matter what the world thinks. It is all about fulfilling our work for the Lord. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
