What a great time we had today in Church!
In service today, Pastor took a trip down a quick recap of our last thursday service where he aptly and sufficiently reminded us that a lay minister must be effective and productive in both his family, career and ministry.
After which he went further and took us more into another part of this series with Emphasis on how a lay minister can serve God effectively.
First a lay minister must have a local church which is his primary place of assignment and where he/serves actively to any capacity God wants him to serve there.
Also a lay minister must be ready and willing to use his skills and influence in service whenever the need arises and he is called upon to serve. He cited an example with Joseph of Arimathea who used his influence to secure Jesus's body for burial after he was crucified.
Again a lay minister must preach the gospel in his work place and also to his work mates as that is a sphere the Lord has given to win souls for the kingdom.
Lastly and importantly, a lay minister must uphold righteous standards, be known as a person of integrity and stand for what is right at all times in the work place.
This and more were all we learnt in church today.
We look forward to seeing you on Thursday.
