LOOKING FOR GOOD GROUND
LORD JESUS, LEAD US TO YOUR GOOD GROUND TO SOW IN:
"Ministry" is from the Greek word Diakoneo, meaning "to Serve" or Douleuo, meaning "to Serve as a Servant." In the New Testament, Ministry is seen as service to God and other people in His Name. Jesus Christ provided the pattern for Jesus Royal Believers Way Ministry—He came, not to receive service, but to give it ( Read Matthew 20:28 ) ( Mark 10:45 ) (John 13:1-17).
The Christian should minister by meeting people’s needs with love and humility on Christ’s behalf (Read Matthew 20:26) ( Mark 10:43 ) ( John 2:5,9 ) ( Acts 6:3 ) ( Romans 1:1 ) ( Galatians 1:10 ) ( Colossians 4:12 ). Jesus Royal Believers are to minister to others first and foremost to our Spirit filled Brothers and Sisters out of our love and devotion to Christ and our love for others, whether the other people are believers or unbelievers. Ministry to others should be impartial and unconditional, always seeking to help others as Jesus would.
The ministry in our day has taken on more of a vocational meaning as we call Pastors "Ministers" to full-time service. Pastors do spend their lives in the ministry, they do minister to religious buildings and things, and they can rightly be designated as ministers, but pastors are not the only ones who are to be involved in ministry. From the early New Testament Churches to the Churches of our day, each Jesus Royal Believer should be in the ministry of helping the body of Jesus Christ first and then all others (Read Romans 12:3-8, 10-13) ( 2 Timothy 2:24-26).
The content of ministry seems to prioritize ministering in spiritual things, not just practical things. Ministry should certainly emphasize sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others so they can come to know Him and receive Him as personal Savior, go on to experience Him as Lord of their life, and go even further to know Christ as the essence of their Life (Read John 1:12 ) ( Colossians 2:6-7) ( Galatians 2:20 ) ( Philippians 3:8-10 ). Ministry can, and should, include ministering to the physical, emotional, mental, vocational, and financial needs of the saints and then all others. Jesus did, and so should we! Amen.
