Ministry, 14of15

~ Are You Fulfilling Your Triple Ministry? ~

Prolog  ~  “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God” (1 Peter 4:10).  

In this post we look at: THE TRIPLE ASPECT OF SERVICE.

Ministers of God  ~  “In all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God” (2 Corinthians 6:4a).  “Timothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ” (1 Thessalonians 3:2a)

Ministers of Christ  ~  “Are they Hebrews?  So am I.  Are they Israelites?  So am I.  Are they the seed of Abraham?  So am I.  Are they ministers of Christ? — I speak as a fool — I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often” (2 Corinthians 11:22-23).  “Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf” (Colossians 1:7). 

Ministers of the Word  ~  “We will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word” (Acts 6:4).  “I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:  Preach the word!  Be ready in season and out of season.  Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching” (2 Timothy 4:1-2).
