MINISTRY AND LIFE PART 1

MINISTRY AND LIFE 1                     JOHN 4:34; 9:4; Phil 2:12-13

While several Christians celebrate their calling, assignment in life, Divine calling and commissioning, they fall into error most time because they lack heaven’s perspective of ministry and ministerial assignment. When you lack God’s view of any event or circumstance, you are on the path to error.  Whereas God has created every man for a specific mandate to be accomplished on the earth for Him, yet God has His own standard for and of men who can and should work or Him.

God is a desperate or hungry CEO longing indiscriminately for workers without standards. He is not just looking for men to work for Him nay work with Him. He has His pre requisite for men who can work with Him and He alone has the right perspective to the dimension of spiritual purpose, assignment and destiny.

The first issue to note with God is that “No man can do work for God. No man can do the work of God. It is called the work of God (work that belong to God) because it is only God that can do His work.”  However, He longs for men who can WALK with Him with all their hearts and in the process learn His ways to be able to WORK with Him. God is longing for CO-WORKERS; however His first desire is to see men fit to be COWALKERS. Only walkers with God can become workers with God.

How close is your walk with God? How close are your ears to His heart? How closely knitted are you to Him? How much of your hours in the day do you give to Him? How much of your journey, projects, plans, jobs, discussion and deliberations is He leading or is he being carried along? How hungry are you for more of Him for if truly you are walking closely with Him, you would be hungry for more of Him?

If these questions are not clearly answered in your heart, then I believe you need to re-examine yourself. If your heart and desire so far has been how to do great things for God, I think your pursuit now should be how to become someone great for God. I am scared that God is not looking first for doers of His works; He is looking for men who can go great distance walking with Him consistently. How I wish you can check your spirit and your heart this day and act to re-align your heart, desires, focus and pursuits with God. It is not first about your work for Him but your walk with him.

Prayers: Lord, grant me the revelation of the right perspective of ministry and service in Your kingdom. Help me to leave all else to be able to enhance my walk with YOU.
