MINISTRY

Labels:

At times, the only way you can be really effective in ministry is by allowing people to see and touch your scars.

Thomas in the Bible got his name “Doubting Thomas” during a moment of weakness. The guy had been with Jesus during his entire ministry and believed in Him more than anything, i mean he left everything and gave it all up for the course of Christ. He knew Jesus would establish His kingdom right here on earth...

but things did not go as he expected.

When he saw Jesus his King being tortured by being beaten mocked spat on and all that and worst of all when He died on the cross, like we all do at times during hardships, he felt lost, scattered and didn’t know what to believe anymore.

When the other disciples came and told him they had been with Jesus, he told them that unless he sees Jesus with his own eyes and feels the scars, he wouldn’t believe it. So Jesus came back..for him, showed him where the nails were and Thomas believed in Him again.

So do not be afraid to show your scars. Nothing you have been through is in vain. You may feel vulnerable, but God may just use your story to save a life.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against

How do we allow our past to not define us  

Even if you don't have everything together, rest certain that God sees you as his priceless possession. Your past does not define who you are today. In actuality, from a spiritual viewpoint, who you are today is not determined by your past. It might affect your thoughts, but it doesn't make you who you are. God proclaims our true identity: that we are made in His likeness and in His image, reflecting both the male and female facets of God (according to Genesis 1:26-27).
