And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psalm 1:3

    Ministry....what is ministry? Webster defines it as being the office, duties, or functions of a minister. It is the period of service or office of a minister or ministry. What is ministration? Webster states that it is the act or process of ministering.

    Knowing this, ministry has many facets. There are different levels and types of ministry. There is the pastor, minister, evangelist, deacon, servant, choir singer, usher, member, and the list goes on and on. We must keep in mind that above all of these levels and types of ministries, Jesus should be the cornerstone and rock with which the church ministries function upon. We must remember that we are all servants of the Most High God and Jesus should be first, foremost and the center of the church. More importantly, He should be the center of our heart of life. For we can do nothing without Christ. Anything done without Christ is nothing but tinkling cymbals and sounding brass.

    The apostles laboured with much diligence, sincerity, and faithfulness. Their sufferings for the gospel were great, yet with rich supports. Prospects of eternal glory keep believers from fainting under troubles. Sincerity or uprightness will keep the favourable opinion of wise and good men. Christ by his gospel makes a glorious discovery to the minds of men. But the design of the devil is to keep men in ignorance; and when he cannot keep the light of the gospel of Christ out of the world, he spares no pains to keep men from the gospel, or to set them against it. It is pleasant to behold the sun in the firmament; but it is more pleasant and profitable for the gospel to shine in the heart. As light was the beginning of the first creation; so, in the new creation, the light of the Spirit is his first work upon the soul. The treasure of gospel light and grace is put into earthen vessels. God could have sent angels to make known the glorious doctrine of the gospel, or could have sent the most admired sons of men to teach the nations, but he chose humbler, weaker vessels, that his power might be more glorified in upholding them, and in the blessed change wrought by their ministry. Let us stand humble, bold, firm and sincere in the ministry of Christ our Lord.

    Let us remember God's Word:

    For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. Ephesians 4:12
