Your Ministry

It's All Ministry!

Believe it or not, you have a ministry. You are the leader of your own ministry that serves everyone you come in contact with. You may not be an ordained minister or pastor a church, but you are still a minister. Your ministry is your life. Your life is a service to others.

Whatever it is you do during the day is your ministry. Whether you are a parent, a secretary, a teacher, a cashier, a bus driver... you name it. Everything you do is a ministry. The question is if God is reflected in that ministry.

God has allowed you to occupy those roles and work in those places. He's given you your co-workers, students, children, etc. for you to impact their lives. The work that you do every day He's given expressly for you to handle.

How are you treating your ministry?

Are you working with a joyful spirit or are you begrudgingly trudging through your eight hours? Are you speaking life to those around you or are you speaking words of gossip, slander, and discord? Do you look for ways to be a light to those who you see that are living in darkness or do you even acknowledge their spiritual state?

Every facet of your life is ordered by God. How you handle your life - your ministry - is extremely important. Remember that you are not just existing, you're living on purpose! Don't neglect your ministry!

Don't see your life as just what you have to do in order to 'make a living'. You are supposed to be doing so much more. See each day as an opportunity to share the love of Christ, to minister to the lost, to reach someone who has never been reached, and to do something great for the Lord.

Doesn't that totally change how you look at your life? Your life is a ministry. Go ahead and make it one of the greatest ministries on the planet!

Verse of the Day: And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation... 2 Corinthians 5:18
