My previous post was about making God our only source. To not be faded or influenced by this world or the people around us. Today’s post links up with that idea. We received the mandate to minister to our fellow brothers and sisters. When I say brothers and sisters, it is humanity wide. Not just the Christian faith but all people in our surrounding vicinity. The assignment, to preach the Gospel. To minister Life.
We are in
contact with people daily. In some or
another form. Whether it is the person
behind the counter or a waiter serving your table. Whether it is your boss or the person you
share an office with. It can even be a
man on a street corner or the person that engaged with your Facebook post. We minister all the time, regardless of the
whether you are aware of it or not. This
is a scary fact. To how many people have
you ministered negativity or death, without realizing or being fully aware of
what you are doing or saying at that very moment?
I hope you
are starting to see the gravity of the situation I am posing here. This is not something ti take lightly. The issue is, we have this “water-collector”
image of what it is to minister. We
enter the Throne room, receive from God and the exit again to hand out or
distribute what we have received, until we are maxed out. Then we return to the Throne room in order to
repeat the process. But I do not for one
moment believe this is how it was meant to be done. I want to use the same scripture as yesterday
for my reference;
Jesus gave them this answer: "Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.” -John 5:19
Jesus was
in constant contact with the Father.
What God said and where God went, Jesus said or Jesus went. When we then minister to people, we need to
do it from the Throne room. Ministering
whilst sitting at God’s feet. Not
leaving God’s presence for even a second.
It is only then that I believe, we can minister to whom we need to, when
we need to and in the fashion God wants us to.
So, the
question then; Does that mean I need to be in constant contact with God? Should I be in the Throne room all the
time? Always busy with God?
Yes… yes
you should.
