MINISTRY = SERVICE

EVERYTHING HAS A PURPOSE.
you were made BY God and made FOR God.

We have the privelege to know God.

if you dont spend quiet time, YOU AFFECT EVERYONE.
you lose your momentum.
1 Peter 1:3

You were never meant to go through life alone.
The church is not a business, it is a BODY.
The church is not an organisation, it is an organism.

the more you grow as a believer, the more you love the church.
if you dont wanna love your family, you are telling God
i love you but i dont love your body.
isn't it ridiculous.?

1 John 3:16
Our life on earth is a practice.

the more different we are from each another, the greater the potential for growth.!
cos when we love people that we can't seem to love, we GROW.

den how do you serve Him.? by serving others.!
Matthew 25:4
everything that you do, do it unto GOD.!

4.You owe God everything.
God dint have to die for you, He chose to do so.
He has done more than enough for you.
Now is time you do something for Him.!

5.It is the best use of life.
1 Corinthians 15:56
ask yourself, what is your attitude.?
are you doing things that are as a service to God.?

6.It makes life meaningful
Mark 8:35

if you're not serving, you're not living.!

7.It will be rewarded for eternity
John 12:26
your life on earth is a test.
whatever you do here determines what you do in heaven.!
PROMOTION COMES FROM GOD.


den now, HOW CAN YOU SERVE GOD.?
first you must know.
you were save, commission,called, gifted to serve God.

Every Christian is a MINISTER(SERVANT)

SPIRITUAL GIFTS
you've got unique eyes, fingerprints,footprints, heartbeat.!
ALL OF US ARE UNIQUE.
some things may motivate you but not others.
some things may make you yawn but not for others.
you have unique spiritual gifts.!

HEART
all of us are passionate for different things.
if God created us all the same, nothing will be done.
its because we are different, that's why things get done.
reveals God's intention for your life,
ask yourself. WHAT'S YOUR PASSION.?

ABILITIES [eg. computer skills]
Exodus 1:3
natural gifts are as good as spiritual gifts.!
abilities are equally important as spiritual gifts.
use it to serve God.!
often, we give ourselves the excuse that IM NOT TALENTED ENOUGH.!
the truth is, each of us have at least 500-700 skills and one of them is at least a PERFECT 10.!

ministry is done by people like us.! its YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.!

PERSONALITY
God did not create us using cookie cutter, we are all different.
God is a God who loves variety.!
we have different likings.
our personality determines where we serve and how we use our gifts.!
are you an introvert or extrovert.?
there is no right or wrong temperament in ministry.
you will experience fruitfulness.!
remember, everything you do now,
its not going to go to waste.!

EXPERIENCES
Romans 8:28
God never waste your experiences.
-educational experiences
-vocational experiences
-family experiences
-painful experiences
you must be able to talk about your experiences.


If you want to serve God, you need to be a clean vessel.
2 Tim 2:21
