FULFILLING YOUR MINISTRY (Volume 2)


But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions , do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 2 Timothy 4:5

In fulfilling ministry, another important condition is to, DO THE WORK OF AN EVANGELIST. An evangelist is primarily concerned with soul winning. Doing the work of an evangelist in the light of what the scriptures is saying here is that you should go out, bring people and breed them. Not only are you supposed to bring the people and breed upon them, you are also required to employ the principle of team work in working with them. Doing the work of an evangelist according to Galatians 4:19 and 2 Timothy 2:2, also travailing, impartation, among other things. Any ministry that revolves around you will not see the next generation! There is no true success without a successor. Whatever is your “ministerial” calling, reaching out should be your focal point. It is noteworthy that your gifts, whatever they may be, are instruments for your ministerial fulfillment. As a matter of fact, in your gifts, lies your ministry; both are interwoven.

Any individual determined to fulfill his or her ministry, must be ready to make full proof of such ministry. That is actually the high point of this profound revelations. The first three point are prerequisites for achieving the fourth and final point, which is MAKE FULL PROOF OF THY MINISTRY. The secret of making full proof of your ministry, aside from the above mentioned points is what Peter said in Acts 6:4, “but we shall give ourselves continually to prayers and to the ministry of the word”. You cannot minister the word except the word has been ministered unto you. You cannot minister, until you have been ministered to! 2 Timothy 2:15 talks about rightly dividing the word of truth. This could also mean being able to know which scriptural quotations to be applied to whatever challenge that confronts you. As much as God is determined to help, be ready to help yourself by doing what is require of you.

I’m persuaded that you’ve been tremediously blessed by this concluding series of Fulfilling Your Ministry. Your comments will always be appreciated. Send your responses to christonear@yahoo.com, chrisogbebor@gmail.com

JOURNEY TO GREATER HEIGHTS

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. Deut. 28:1 There is an height beyond where you are now. No matter how high you have gone, there is still a greater height. Therefore, let your slogan be, “higher everyday”. This is why Jesus keeps calling men upward. He calls from sin to salvation, from salvation to consecration, consecration to Holy Ghost baptism, from HolyGhost baptism to manifesting to manifesting the fruits of the Spirit, and so on, and so forth. Jesus said in John 12:32, “If I be lifted from above the earth, I will draw all men unto myself”.

DIVINE PROJECT

Being confident of this, that He who has begun a good work in you, is able to perfect them till the day of the Lord Jesus. (paraphrased) Phil 1:6 Life does not give you what you desire, but what you demand for. This is why most times, it's not the first time that you apply for a visa,job that you were given; it's not the first time that you wrote that exam that you passed. Life answers to the persistent. If you're persistent in your asking, particularly from the right source, you'll be consistent in receiving. Make this declaration boldly, "I AM A DIVINE PROJECT, I WILL NOT BE ABANDONED. In life, nothing starts as a completed task. Project means  to make something new or improve something. It means to make manifest something. However, not all projects eventually becomes what it was intended to be. A divine project is a life or destiny that God wants to use to make a statement to the world. The world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God...
