You have a ministry.
God has designed you for something specific that no one else can fulfill and that one thing is your ministry. (Colossians 4:17, 2 Timothy 4:5) All that you enjoy or occupy on earth should ultimately be a tool and a platform to fulfill your purpose or destiny.
What Is Ministry?
Ministry is first & foremost service. It is your participation by faith in the continuing ministry of Christ and you discover it in faithful service.
Christ’s assignment didn’t end at the cross and so, now He fulfills that ministry through His body, the church. Everyone who gets born again and baptized into Christ is given a part of His ministry as an inheritance.
You must make up your mind to pursue God’s purpose for your life with laser focus and obsession because it does not randomly fall into your lap. It is given to you on the platform of responsibility, service and faithfulness in God’s house.
Three evident truths from Scriptures regarding ministry:
⭐ 1. The Call of God:
This is that unrelenting witness in your heart that keeps pulling you to a particular direction no matter the progress you make in other areas of life. No human is born without a call over their lives, but it is only until you’re born again in Christ before you come into the consciousness of that call. (Isaiah 49:1)
⭐ 2. The Foundation
The foundation of every ministry is Jesus. To fulfill your ministry, you must maintain a very close relationship with Christ. No one will last the long haul if they do not give attention to private ministry than public demonstration.
⭐ 3. Reward
The Lord will judge and reward everyone according to their work and not their office (Rev 22:12, 2 John 8)
Two key things to note about the reward:
1️⃣ It is your heart that determines the value of your work.
2️⃣ God will judge your faithfulness to the assignment given. You must be careful to pay attention to what we build, and also how we build.
