But
we will give ourselves continually to prayer,
and to the ministry of the word. Acts 6:4
Therefore seeing we have this ministry,
as we have received mercy, we faint not.
2 Corinthians 4:1
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 member, 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.
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 |
