Ministers of God

“He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant. This is a covenant not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life.” 2 Corinthians 3:6 NLT

There is a common misconception that ministry gifts- i.e. Pastors (Ephesians 4:11-12) are the only ones that are supposed to preach the gospel. That's absolutely FALSE!!! Every believer has been given the great commission “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" Mark 16:15 KJV. You were created for a purpose; and that purpose entails preaching the gospel within your sphere of influence.

You may not be called into the ministry but you are a minister. Whatever you've been created to do is for the glory of God. Whether it's singing, designing clothing and accessories, being a doctor, an artist, a hairstylist, a business man or woman, etc.; we were created to establish the kingdom of God wherever we find ourselves. 

If you love Jesus then you will obey his commandment (John 14:15). “So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” John 13:34-35 NLT. We were commanded to love others, when we do so we show the world that we are truly followers of Christ.

When you love someone, you are committed to them. When you love someone you believe in their vision and you are willing to partner with them to fulfill it. When you love someone you are willing to sacrifice all that you have to make them happy. God loved us too much to sit around and watch us wallow in our sins; he gave up his most prized possession so that we could truly live (John 3:16).

Imagine how your life would be if Jesus never came to save you. Think back to the days when you didn't know Christ, remember how much of a mess your life was? When you see people around you frolicking with sin, do you forget that you once were in their shoes? Or are you moved by compassion to help them? The best gift that you can ever give anyone is Jesus Christ. Money will run out, clothing and shoes will wear out for Jesus is eternal. The Lord Jesus gives eternal life, the abundant life.

While you go about your daily business, make sure that you're in the Will of God first and foremost. And be ever ready to minister to anyone that crosses your path. You can be the reason why someone decides to live instead of taking their life. Don't let the devil lie to you and tell you that you're not eloquent enough or that you don't know enough scriptures. Take the first step, open your mouth and the Holy Spirit will fill it with the right words. Also simply sharing your personal testimony and living upright can preach to others...you may be the first bible that they read. At times, you can reflect God’s glory simply by the way you live and carry yourself; it can get to the point where someone would ask you what you know. There will be a landmark difference (something about you) that will single you out, when you live right. 

You were saved to live for God. You were not saved to wake up every Sunday morning to put on your 'Sunday's best' and strut down the runway of the church. God commanded us to go out into the world; the world needs you, are you going to continue to sit around and watch people die an eternal death around you?

So as you go about your business today and every day, make sure to do it all to the glory of God! 


You're blessed!
