Col4:17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the MINISTRY which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
The church of Christ all over the world
Is not a building but rather a people that are blood-washed and heaven focused. There is a common ministry we all have and it is 3-fold in nature, we have a ministry:
(A) To the Lord- that is what we do when we worship the Lord.
(B)To itself- that is process of discipling people to be Christ-like.
(C)To the world- that is what we do in our evangelistic outreach to win souls.
Whatever your ministry is, maybe to the widows, orphans, teenagers,etc, you must fulfil this 3-fold ministry that is common to us all as a church. Every believer have a ministry, you can't discover your unique or special ministry if you aren't fulfilling the combine 3-fold ministry.
I noticed that most believers do the first ministry, neglecting the second&third. We shouldn't be a sitting christian, we should be an outgoing believer that win souls and disciple them till they attain maturity.
- Father,help me to fulfil this 3-fold ministry that is common to all believers In Jesus Name.
