How to Fulfil Your Ministry!

[Acts 20:24 KJV] “But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God”
(Further reading: Acts 20:24)

I had a visit to the Anagkazo Bible School, and when I got there, I said in my heart that this is the time to decide to discover, pray, plan, and pursue until something happens.

I was not particularly impressed with the magnificence of the facility but by the display of wisdom that discerned. I immediately said within myself “this is the time to decide to fulfill my ministry.” What I saw inspired me. The truth is the spirit of mediocrity will leave you immediately you understand what you’re seeing.

I told myself that there is no reason to give up or to shirk back. There is every reason to press forward and abound in the work of God. We must resolve to press on and abound in the work of God. It must flow laterally through us and from us. This is the time to sacrifice and do something for the Lord by His strength. I made up my mind to Discover, pray, plan, and pursue till something happens. We can if we decide and put our minds to it. This is the time and we the people of the Lord must push and press forward.

Philippians 3:7‭-‬21¹ gives us three master keys to fulfill both our course and ministry with joy. There is a course set before us and a purpose for the blessing which God brings upon us. We must finish both the course and ministry which we have received with joy. These master keys are:

1. Seek to hold on to nothing, except the righteousness which is by faith.
2. Seek to hold on to nothing except to attain unto the resurrection which is by faith.
3. Seek to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and to conform to His suffering and death
4. To mind walk and mind the same rules and things
5. To follow those who follow after Heavenly things but avoid those who follow because of what they may gain on Earth.

I have no doubt that you will make it. You will excel and the Lord shall help you!

Stay blessed

1. Philippians 3:7-21 (KJV): But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. ↩︎
