The Bible makes clear the fact that, when we give our lives to Christ, He gifts us with spiritual abilities and will also use our experiences for ministry. All of us are ministers, not just those on our church staff. Have you thanked God lately for the ministry He has given you?
1 Timothy 1:12 (ESV) I thank him who has given me strength,
Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his
service.
We are appointed to His service. I'm thankful for that privilege. God doesn't have to allow me to share in His work, but He has chosen to do so. What a joy it is to have a part in life-change that takes place in others as we are faithful in our walk with Christ and used by Him in serving others and sharing the gospel in a variety of ways.
Have you discovered your ministry area of strength? If not, would you thank God that He has given you the necessary gifts and passion for some ministry? Then outline the steps you will take to find that place of ministry. And, thank Him for the strength His gives to help you in faithfulness, and for His willingness to use you in ministry to others.
