What is ministry? "Mini Me"

The word ministry has a root word mini, according to Merriam Webster mini is defined as, something small of its kind; ministry is defined as, a person or thing through which something is accomplished.

So, that would lead us to believe that ministry is becoming small so something can be accomplished through you!

We do not lead a ministry or enter into a ministry so that we can be seen; we are to love our neighbors, love our brothers our sisters and not take advantage of what GOD is doing through you.

We have already learned that ministry means to be small so GOD can do something through you. Why are we trying to be seen like 1,2,3 lights, camera, action wooooh now its my time to shine; since I cant shine any place else I might as well shine here!!

Jesus didn’t walk around proclaiming I am the LORD the Son of GOD….he asked his disciples but whom say ye that I am, And Simon Peter said, Thou art the Christ, the son of the living GOD. And Jesus answered and said unto him blessed art thou Simon Barjona for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee but my father which is in heaven. Come back to meekness, humbleness, begin to become comfortable within your own self.

Once the cameras are shut off and the lights have been dimmed down when you are alone with you do you like what you have become?

GOD is calling us to come back!!

We have to come back to the place where it was just GOD and you no circus just a true devoted servant!!




II Corinthians 6:3-10

3 giving no cause for offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited,

4 but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in hunger,

6 in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love,

7 in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left,

8 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true;

9 as unknown yet well-known, as dying yet behold, we live; as punished yet not put to death,

10 as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet possessing all things.

Who do you put your trust in?

As individuals in today’s society we are putting so much trust in the latest fads from losing weight, get rich quick schemes and even ways to find our mates 101 places to find him/her.

How many of us truly trust God?

How many of us embrace the challenges, trials and tribulations that God has set before us?

Can we trust God when we can not trace him?

For today let’s trust in God with all our heart and mind, we must believe that he has already established our path.

We have to die to our flesh and allow God to put us through the process of being refined. So, that after we have been tried and tested we will come out as pure Gold.

Proverbs 3:5-7

5 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

7 Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil.
