THE MINISTRY AND THE MINISTRIES

One thing the LORD help me see concerning MINISTRY is that HIS MINISTRY IS ONE; and it is a growing INTO HIS FULLNESS. I believe their is a perversion of the word ministry in many today. Ministry to many mean doing things for HIM rather than Growing in to HIS HOLY DIVINE NATURE IN FULLNESS. In reality the totality of any work the LORD instruct us to do , is to bring man in to THE FULLNESS OF HIS DIVINE NATURE.. ...UNTO A PERFECT MAN, THIS is the absolute work of the ministry. One night the LORD help me to see the word ministries is wrong as the way many use it. To say ministries is like to mean their are different ministries. It is so wrong , their is a different manifestation and work of the Ministry, but to one goal , which is PERFECTION. It may be apostolic, evangelistic , pastoral etc but it is still one, and from the same Eternal ministry of the LORD.Why should we be using the Word ministries as if we have our own personal ministry different from the LORD MINISTRY. Do we forget the fact that the LORD Ministry is Eternal , working in us though HIS SPIRIT, to help us partake HIS DIVINE NATURE IN FULLNESS. The LORD help me see throughout my bible kjv that the word Ministries can never be found their. This help me see MINISTRY is not something we do, but it is a called to grow into the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
We are already in the MINISTRY FROM THE VERY DAY We give our lives to be mold and sharpen like Clay in the hands of the potter (The LORD ), to grow into the measure, of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

Amen. To me ministry is really Christ being revealed, formed, and expressed in and through us to a lost and dying world. Look at the Apostle Paul. His life of serving Jesus looked like Christ's life. That is why to Live is Christ and to Die is Gain.

Good words , Saints. Wonderful to see the Spirit teachings us the old Truth. The only foundation OF POSSESSING OF HIS KINGDOM. TO CEASE AND LET HIM WORK.

James:

You are so correct brother. Eph. 4 tells us that each member of the body is to be doing the work of the ministry, and the way I believe God intends for us to do this is to partner with Jesus' ministry by doing whatever He tells us to do. It is often hard to bring the body to understand this concept. It is not only in America that we so often look at the ministry as some professional occupation. It is true that God has called some of us to full time equipping ministry as apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to bring the body into maturity, but the end result of that equipping is a body that is fully fitted out to do the work of he ministry. If we could only see this as the body we would stop simply living life and occasionally filling pews and we would be active in doing the work that God has called us to do empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Good word twayneb.

The work of GOD is that we
believe in the Christ, the
Son and Savior. The work of
the Spirit is to change our
hearts, renew our minds, and
transform our lives!!

Amen , Sojouner7 . So true dear saint.
