Jul 7, 2020 · Instead, every Christian is involved in the work of the ministry. Paul makes this point explicit in Ephesians 4:11–12: He gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.

I can’t remember who said it, but someone once said, “God doesn’t call the qualified, but qualifies the called.” Think about this. Do you ever remember anyone in the Bible ever coming up to God or Jesus Christ and telling them, “Okay God, here I am. Send me. I’m qualified.”In the eyes of God, this would actually disqualify them because none of us q...
Any time spent reading the Bible, you’ll very quickly come to see that God has a history of calling the lowly, the meek, and the humble; those who, in the world’s eyes, don’t amount to much, but God called people like shepherds who were among the most despised people in the ancient world. God called the least of the families and tribes, like Gideon...
Whoever does God’s bidding in ministry (i.e., Matt 25:25-36), God equips. He would never call someone to a task and not equip them or give them gifts of the Holy Spirit to do what He’s called them to do. Some people are better teachers, others are better at visiting the sick and those in prison, and others have gifts in other areas. Many times a pe...
What we do on our own does not impress God. It might impress the world, but not God. If a person feels they are already gifted without the assistance of God or the Spirit’s gift, they are running purely on the flesh and it will not bear fruit. In other words, God’s Spirit will prompt us to do random acts of kindness that we normally wouldn’t do on ...
Let me ask you a question? Who has more resources? Is it Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, or God? Obviously, no one in the universe has more at His disposal than God Almighty. He not only owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), He owns the hills. God doesn’t have to worry if He’ll have enough to provide for you or the ministry you’re doing. A ...
Don’t you grow weary sometimes? I mean, when things go wrong, things break down, relationships are wrecked, there’s trouble at work or with finances, it’s easy to grow discouraged; especially when you’re tired, hungry, and frustrated. But here’s something to think about; when we are weak, God can show Himself strong. The world can’t understand how ...
We often worry about tomorrow or about things that will never happen, so we’re worry warts in a sense. It’s too bad we forget that God already knows the future. Only God can look around the blind corners of time. Only God knows what’s ahead of us, even when we can’t see 10 feet in front of us. He alone knows what’s in front of us for the day ahead,...
Everything we have is God’s, so we must remember that we’re only stewards with what God’s given us. Someday we will have to give an account about how we used these God-given resources. If you think about it, when we suffer some loss, it’s not our loss, but God’s loss. It’s as if we can say, “Okay God, the car you own that you let me use is broken d...
People who wonder if God has called them to a task should just relax and let God work out all the details. I believe that 90% of serving is just showing up, so do what you can and then let God do what only He can. He will lead you to the work He calls you to and also equip and supply that call. If God has called someone to a task, He will qualify t...

Equipping churches: have a vision of God at work where their people work. actively hunt for examples and resources. connect daily work to worship. address the opportunities and challenges their people face at work. invest resources in equipping people for daily work. create structures to sustain this ministry.
Dec 27, 2015 · The infinite ability of God to work beyond our prayers, thoughts and dreams is according to the power at work within us, within us individually (Christ dwelling in our hearts by faith) and within us as a people (who are the dwelling place of God by His Spirit).
Jan 15, 2019 · When Paul explained to the Colossian Christians how he managed to persevere in his ministry, this is how he said it: “For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me” (Col. 1:29). God infuses his very own supernatural energy into his servants.
