” Be sure to carry out the ministry the Lord gave you.” Colossians 4:17
We are to understand and carry out the ministry that our Lord has given us. As Christians we all have a part to play and a duty to fulfill. As we continue to follow and grow in Jesus, we develop a passion for Him and for his ways. We begin to shape our lives to mirror his actions. We begin to think like he does and do things in his ways and not ours. Our deep love for him creates a deep desire to serve him in any way he desires us to. Our ministry should become our lifestyle. When we decide to get out of bed every day and serve others so they might see and meet Jesus, we are in a full-time ministry. That passion we have for the Lord swells up within us and begins to seep out to others. It may come in the form of spreading his Holy Word through testimony or through praying for others or by living a lifestyle that reflects our love for him. Whatever it is, we should do it with a 100% conviction.
If we are unsure of how to fulfill our mission for Jesus then we should go to him in prayer and ask, and when we ask, we should pay attention and watch for his answers. He never will fail us! Our ministry should always be presented in a way that helps spread the word of God, whether that is preaching his word, teaching Sunday school or serving in the community. It may come in the form of praying for others, talking with those who have never met Jesus, or by serving on the church council. No matter what desire or passion he has given us, we are to do it with a solid focus on Jesus, with the end result of spreading his Word to others. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
