Ministries in the Mundane

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not give up.
2 Corinthians 4:1

Every single one of us who believe in Jesus Christ and follow Him as King have a ministry. Scripture doesn't say we need to be on TV, write books, be famous or be a preacher in order to have a ministry. Every believer has a ministry right where they are at this time. That means, you, yes you, have a place in ministry right now. 

It has more to do with your God than your abilities. But rest assured that there is a need for someone who is willing to share God's love in every place on Earth. You have connections who need good influences and encouraging messages. You have a unique influence and a message for the here and now. You were created for such a time as this and He has given you a heart and a passion for something specific. The question therein lies, "Are you using your influence to help others?"

The enemy would rather you believe that you have no impact, influence or message that's of use to others. Why? Because then you'll quit helping others and you'll stop contributing your value community-wide. When you stop believing God on any matter, your motivation to do what is right, your ability to see the unseen and your message of love all seem pointless and daunting. 

God wants you to be courageous and to endure. He has a purpose for you, even in the mundane. You make a difference in the Body of Christ. We all need you. We all need the piece of the puzzle you bring to the mix. We can learn from you and you can learn from us. Don't let the gifts you've been given go to waste; leave your mark.
