Ministry

Know Your Calling

God’s blessings are realized in our lives when we fulfill His calling on our lives.  It is therefore imperative for each of us to identify our calling and fulfill it.

Each of us has a ministry we must fulfill.  And say to Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it” Colossians 4:17

God’s desire is for us to fulfill the call that we have received of Him.  It is our duty to give diligence to our ministry (calling) and to our relationship with God.  “Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble”.  2 Peter 1:10.
 

God’s will is for us to be diligent about our calling and our election (relationship with God)  Then His blessings would flow:  He has promised that we will never fall.  When God calls us, he will give us the provision, anointing and talent to fulfill his call.  “Whoever speaks, let him speak, as it were, the utterances of God; whoever serves, let him do so as by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified forever and ever”.  1 Peter 4:11.

Each of us is unique in the Kingdom of God.  We are part of the Body of Christ, yet God has placed each one of us in a unique place, with unique calling, for a unique ministry.

Let us look at some of the ministries that are mentioned in the Word of God:

“And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ”.  Ephesians 4:11 – 12.
And since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let each exercise that accordingly; if prophesy, according to the proportion of this faith; if service, in his serving; or he who teaches , in his teaching; or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality, he who leads with diligence; he who shows mercy with cheerfulness.  Romans 12:6-8.

Remember, God has abundance of grace for every individual.  The word gift comes from the Greek word “Charis” meaning “Grace”.  God knew His good plan for us, even before we were born.  God is a God with destiny purpose and design.  He is never without a plan.  He is a personal God.  “Now the word of the Lord came to me saying, before I formed you in the womb I knew you” Jeremiah 1:4-5.

God has a divine plan for us.  He knew us even before we were in our mother’s womb.  No one is an accident.  When a child is born, there are two courses his life could take: God’s course or the devils.  Do you know that not only has God set a course or plan for our lives, but the devil also has a plan?  But God desires for us to walk in His plan, because His blessings and favour would follow us all our lives.  When we walk in his will, He will prosper us:  there is joy, peace, prosperity.  God will make sure that our needs are met.

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever”.  Psalm 23:6.

“The will of God for my life is good, acceptable and perfect” Romans 12:2.

Therefore, let us walk in the plan that Almighty God has set before us.
