Some people have a JOB in the church; others involve themselves in a Ministry.WHAT’S the difference?
• If you are doing it just because no one else will, it’s a JOB.
• If you are doing it to serve the Lord, it’s a Ministry.
• If you quit because somebody criticized you, it was a JOB.
• If you keep on serving, it’s a MINISTRY.
• If you’ll do it as long as it does not interfere with your other activities, it’s a JOB.
• If you are committed to stay with it even when it means letting go of other things, it’s a MINISTRY.
• If you quit because no one praised you or thanked you, it’s a JOB.
• If you stay with it even nobody recognized your efforts, it’s a MINISTRY.
• It’s hard to get excited about a JOB.
• It’s almost impossible not to be excited about a MINISTRY.
• If our concern is success, it’s a JOB.
• If our concern if faithfulness, it’s a MINISTRY.
• An average church is filled with the people doing JOBS.
• A great and growing church is filled with people involved in MINISTRY.
Where DO we FIT in? WHAT about US?
If God calls you a MINISTRY, don’t treat it like a JOB. If you have a JOB, give it up and find a MINISTRY. God does not want us feeling stuck with a JOB, but excited and faithful to Him in a MINISTRY.
Colossians 3:23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men
GOD BLESS
