SIP FROM THE LIVING PORTALS... Gleanings from Colossians 1: 1-29 (Part 90)

Now I rejoice in my sufferings on your behalf. And with my own body I supplement whatever is lacking [on our part] of Christ’s afflictions, on behalf of His body, which is the church. In this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship which God entrusted to me for your sake, so that I might make the word of God fully known [among you]— that is, the mystery which was hidden [from angels and mankind] for ages and generations, but has now been revealed to His saints (God’s people). God [in His eternal plan] chose to make known to them how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in and among you, the hope and guarantee of [realizing the] glory (Colossians 1:24-27, AMP).

Though raised in the royal palace, Moses knew he had been called to the emancipation of the Israelites and their exodus from Egypt. He knew that His call lay behind the luxury and pleasure of royalty, which Pharaoh freely granted him.

Moses initially tried to deliver Israel through his own strength and anger, resulting in him killing an Egyptian and fleeing into exile. As part of his preparation for the assignment ahead of him, God led him, and he became the shepherd of Jethro's flocks.

It can only be imagined what mental and physical stress Moses must have been subjected to for someone who feeds on the best of Egypt's delicacies, a Prince, to suddenly become a shepherd taking care of flocks that weren't even his. But this was an integral part of his making process. According to our text, Paul rejoiced in such sufferings!

Beloved, if you are indeed serious about your desire to serve the Lord and obey His commandments, you must also be willing to go through His making process, no matter how unpalatable it may be.

Gird your loins, beloved!

SIP FROM THE LIVING PORTALS... Gleanings from Colossians 1: 1-29 (Part 89)

Now I rejoice in my sufferings on your behalf. And with my own body I supplement whatever is lacking [on our part] of Christ’s afflictions, on behalf of His body, which is the church. In this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship which God entrusted to me for your sake, so that I might make the word of God fully known [among you]— that is, the mystery which was hidden [from angels and mankind] for ages and generations, but has now been revealed to His saints (God’s people). God [in His eternal plan] chose to make known to them how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in and among you, the hope and guarantee of [realizing the] glory (Colossians 1:24-27, AMP).

Beloved, the work of the ministry is a call to a sacrificial living. The work of the ministry will not always be convenient; often, it will bring significant inconvenience to our earthly body or flesh.

As we prepare our minds to walk in obedience to God's instruction and His call, we must also prepare to go through the furnace and crucible of discomfort. In our preparation to embrace the work of the ministry, we are subjected to the furnace experience to burn off all impurities and trim off all excesses that could hinder us from achieving God's purposes.

The furnace of making is not a soothing or very pleasant one. Sometimes, it comes with great pain. Many times, and in fact at all times, it requires self-denial wherein the voice of our flesh is silenced, and the appetite of our flesh is crucified.

Beloved, soldiers are not forged in the furnace of comfort. They are made through rigorous drills and training designed to instil discipline and flush civilians' lifestyles from them. The process of God's making can be likened to the training of a soldier.

It will not be all fun... It will not be all Rossy, but it is all worth it!

Gird your loins, beloved!

SIP FROM THE LIVING PORTALS... Gleanings from Colossians 1: 1-29 (Part 85)

Now I rejoice in my sufferings on your behalf. And with my own body I supplement whatever is lacking [on our part] of Christ’s afflictions, on behalf of His body, which is the church. In this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship which God entrusted to me for your sake, so that I might make the word of God fully known [among you]— that is, the mystery which was hidden [from angels and mankind] for ages and generations, but has now been revealed to His saints (God’s people). God [in His eternal plan] chose to make known to them how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in and among you, the hope and guarantee of [realizing the] glory (Colossians 1:24-27, AMP).

Dearly beloved, today, it is important to understand that there is no superiority in the dispensations or stewardship that God entrust into the hands of men. Irrespective of the ministry God has called you to serve Him, be it as an Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor or Teacher, or even if your ministry comes with a unique identity that is not fully expressed by any of these five, you must know that neither of these is superior to the other in the scale of God's preference or value.

The wave where most young people desire to be known or affiliated with the apostolic ministry is good only if they have discerned that this is the dispensation of their calling, but if the motivation is rooted in the accolades, encomiums or even external validation that comes with the title of an apostle, then it is a misguided, dangerous ambition.

Beloved, what has God called you to do for Him? Who has He sent you to? Where has He sent you to represent Him?

Your relevance is tied to functioning in the habitat God has positioned you in.

Stay in your ministry!

SIP FROM THE LIVING PORTALS... Gleanings from Colossians 1: 1-29 (Part 84)

Now I rejoice in my sufferings on your behalf. And with my own body I supplement whatever is lacking [on our part] of Christ’s afflictions, on behalf of His body, which is the church. In this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship which God entrusted to me for your sake, so that I might make the word of God fully known [among you]— that is, the mystery which was hidden [from angels and mankind] for ages and generations, but has now been revealed to His saints (God’s people). God [in His eternal plan] chose to make known to them how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in and among you, the hope and guarantee of [realizing the] glory (Colossians 1:24-27, AMP).

Beloved, every believer has been given a specific dispensation of God to fulfil the word of God, as we have seen in the past couple of days. This specific dispensation is unique to each person, and one of the secrets to prosperity in ministry is the grace to discern this dispensation or stewardship, embrace it, and run with it with the whole of our being. The gifts or equipment God has given to each of us is a function of the stewardship He has entrusted into our hands.

Ephesians 4:10-13 says He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

Irrespective of the dispensation or stewardship, you must remember that the end goal is the same, which is bringing all men to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

Trying to imitate others because you think their stewardship is more attractive, or more rewarding humanly speaking, is a potent path to eternal frustration.

Stay in your ministry!

SIP FROM THE LIVING PORTALS... Gleanings from Colossians 1: 1-29 (Part 83)

And although you were at one time estranged and alienated and hostile-minded [toward Him], participating in evil things, yet Christ has now reconciled you [to God] in His physical body through death, in order to present you before the Father holy and blameless and beyond reproach—[and He will do this] if you continue in the faith, well-grounded and steadfast, and not shifting away from the [confident] hope [that is a result] of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which [gospel] I, Paul, was made a minister (Colossians 1:21-23 AMP).

Yesterday, we saw that God has designed specific stewardships for each of us to serve Him. The misconception that ministry is only restricted to physical pulpits and pews is incorrect.

Being a servant of God does not imply that you must be a parish-leader or pastor. Your mission field need not be among church members. There are some people who may never hear the gospel of Christ if the gospel is not taken to them in the corporate system where they are.

Romans 12:5-6 (AMP) says so we, who are many, are [nevertheless just] one body in Christ, and individually [we are] parts one of another [mutually dependent on each other]. Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them accordingly: if [someone has the gift of] prophecy, [let him speak a new message from God to His people] in proportion to the faith possessed.

We are encouraged to dedicate ourselves fully to the specific function or gift we have been given, rather than trying to take on someone else's role.

Beloved, stay in your ministry. Don't be distracted by trending forces around you, no matter how religious they are. Remember that you are answerable to God and God alone!

SIP FROM THE LIVING PORTALS... Gleanings from Colossians 1: 1-29 (Part 82)

And although you were at one time estranged and alienated and hostile-minded [toward Him], participating in evil things, yet Christ has now reconciled you [to God] in His physical body through death, in order to present you before the Father holy and blameless and beyond reproach—[and He will do this] if you continue in the faith, well-grounded and steadfast, and not shifting away from the [confident] hope [that is a result] of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which [gospel] I, Paul, was made a minister (Colossians 1:21-23 AMP).

Dear child of God, verse 25 of Colossians 1, which we considered yesterday, also gives us a vital, insightful instruction, in addition to acknowledging the divine trust that God has graciously placed in us by making us His ministers.

Colossians 1:25 (AMP) says In this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship which God entrusted to me for your sake, so that I might make the word of God fully known [among you].

In this verse, Apostle Paul was quite particular about the order of the minister God has made Him. He affirmed that God made him a minister according to the stewardship which He has entrusted to Him.

While he was fully aware that the primary goal was to make the word of God known to the people, he also knew that there was a specific stewardship assigned to him. It is within this stewardship that his ministry is designed to find expression.

We must also understand that God has designed specific stewardship for His purpose, so that we may find full expression.
While the stewardship of some believers may be connected to church pulpits, others' pulpits may be their businesses or the platforms provided by their careers.

We must be diligent in knowing the stewardship God has designed for us, because it is in this stewardship that we can serve Him effortlessly and acceptably.

Don't resign from your job because of your friend who heads a church and quits his corporate job because the stewardship God has designed for you may have nothing to do with pastoring a church. Being an ambassador of Christ in the corporate system or in business is no less spiritual than pastoring a church or a ministry. What matters is discernment to know the stewardship God has designed for you and be faithfully committed to it wholly.

You are God's servant. Serve Him wherever He has placed you.

SIP FROM THE LIVING PORTALS... Gleanings from Colossians 1: 1-29 (Part 81)

And although you were at one time estranged and alienated and hostile-minded [toward Him], participating in evil things, yet Christ has now reconciled you [to God] in His physical body through death, in order to present you before the Father holy and blameless and beyond reproach—[and He will do this] if you continue in the faith, well-grounded and steadfast, and not shifting away from the [confident] hope [that is a result] of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which [gospel] I, Paul, was made a minister (Colossians 1:21-23 AMP).

Beloved, for the past few days, we have been seeing that God has made us His servants and ministers. He has equipped us to satisfy His will and purposes. He has invested Himself in us so that we can do His bidding.

But do you know that being made a servant of God is a privilege and an expression of trust?

Colossians 1:25 (AMP) says In this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship which God entrusted to me for your sake, so that I might make the word of God fully known [among you].

So, God made us His ministers according to the assignment or stewardship which He has graciously entrusted to our care. That God has made you a soul winner is an expression of the enormous trust He has placed in you.

You must always remember that God has called you to serve Him, and that this all is a hallowed call, a privilege and an expression of the great trust He has placed in you.

Serve Him faithfully as someone trusted by the Almighty!

SIP FROM THE LIVING PORTALS... Gleanings from Colossians 1: 1-29 (Part 80)

And although you were at one time estranged and alienated and hostile-minded [toward Him], participating in evil things, yet Christ has now reconciled you [to God] in His physical body through death, in order to present you before the Father holy and blameless and beyond reproach—[and He will do this] if you continue in the faith, well-grounded and steadfast, and not shifting away from the [confident] hope [that is a result] of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which [gospel] I, Paul, was made a minister (Colossians 1:21-23 AMP).

Dear child of God, yesterday, we saw that we have been made as servants and ministers of God, designed to offer our lives as instruments of acceptable service to God.

It is important to always remember that every servant's job is to serve. Our primary responsibility as servants of God is to serve God with reverence and godly fear.

As God's servants, our duty is to ensure that God's primary interest is satisfied. We are to meet the needs and satisfy the desires of God by ministering unto Him. We are meant to always be at God's service by yielding ourselves in obedience. God wants us to be committed to the fulfilment of His will and purposes for us.

But what exactly is service to God?

Romans 12:1 (AMP) says Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship.

Beloved, God wants us to offer ourselves to Him as living sacrifices. He wants us to present our bodies and everything we have in the service of His kingdom, and to Him, this offering of ourselves is a reasonable service.

Today, remember to present yourself wholly to Him as a living sacrifice.

SIP FROM THE LIVING PORTALS... Gleanings from Colossians 1: 1-29 (Part 79)

And although you were at one time estranged and alienated and hostile-minded [toward Him], participating in evil things, yet Christ has now reconciled you [to God] in His physical body through death, in order to present you before the Father holy and blameless and beyond reproach—[and He will do this] if you continue in the faith, well-grounded and steadfast, and not shifting away from the [confident] hope [that is a result] of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which [gospel] I, Paul, was made a minister (Colossians 1:21-23 AMP).

Beloved, as Apostle Paul was bringing to the consciousness of the brethren their responsibilities to proclaim the gospel to all creatures, he affirmed to the Colossian church that for the purpose of accurately discharging this task, God has made him a minister.

In a very simple expression, the word minister refers to a servant, which by extension means that Paul affirmed that he has been made a servant of God.

Beloved, we must understand that we all as believers have been made ministers of the new covenant. God has designed and invested Himself in us so that we can faithfully serve Him. He has deposited in us the fullness of Himself so that we will be rightly positioned to serve Him acceptably.

As you step out today, remember that you have been made a servant of God. You are God's servant, designed to serve God.

Let your life be one that is committed to the service of God.

You are God's servant; you have been made a minister of God.
