Beloved, do you question your “calling”? Have you taken your position as a full-time minister, where you are actively involved in ministry?
Did you know ministry doesn’t just take place behind the pulpit? Do you know the ministry God has called you to do, or are you confused about what He wants you to do? You don’t need to search or struggle to find your calling any longer!
God is raising up a great army of men and women around the world to march forward, in a mighty demonstration of His power, as final end-time witnesses.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Matthew 24:14
I must warn you that if you have just been sitting on the sidelines warming a church pew, and have not been actively involved in ministry, you are going to be shaken. You are going to be challenged as never before to break out of the ruts of the harvest … to shake yourself of your complacency, to get off the church pew, and take your position as a full-time minister!
WE WILL NEVER MEET ALL OF THE OVERWHELMING NEEDS IN OUR WORLD TODAY FROM BEHIND THE PULPIT!
Receive a fresh revelation of the ministry God has given you. Accept your calling. Accept your commission, and take your position as a full-time minister. Move out in the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit to do the work of the ministry.
- You are going to know your calling.
- You are going to know what ministry is.
- You are going to know what it means to be a full-time minister.
- You are going to know the ministry God has given you to do.
One-half of the world’s population has never heard the name, Jesus! Why? Because we have not been operating according to the structure God established. It is known as the 10/40 window, and we must reach it!
The 10/40 window is a rectangular-shaped area, extending from West Africa to East Asia, from ten degrees north to forty degrees north of the equator. Often called “The Resistant Belt,” this specific region encompasses the majority of the world’s Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists-billions of spiritually impoverished souls.
The time is short. We don’t have time to play games. We don’t have time to make excuses. JESUS IS COMING! We must have a spiritual breakthrough within the Church that will take us beyond our limited concept of ministry … beyond our man-made structure … and give us a new, fresh revelation of the ministry God has given and requires of us.
Jesus defined who a minister is in Matthew 20:26: … but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
Let’s observe the word minister in these verses. Jesus used the words servant and minister interchangeably. The word “minister” translated from the original Greek refers to one who is a servant, who serves and waits upon others.
Jesus is our example of what it means to be a minister. He said that He came not to be ministered unto, but to minister … to serve … to pour out His own life … to give Himself unselfishly in meeting the needs of suffering humanity. His ministry was out where the great needs were … among the people.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:15
Beloved, a minister is not ordinary people, it’s ALL OF US who give our lives in ministering and meeting the needs of others. As a full-time minister, your responsibility is to proclaim the message of salvation, healing, and deliverance in the Name of Jesus, and to manifest it through your life.
Say this faith declaration out loud: Father, thank You for commissioning me to be a minister. Reveal to me, today, the calling You have on my life so that I may spread Your word throughout the world. Help me to get out among the people where the great needs are, and know what You have called and anointed me to do. Amen.
