KEY SCRIPTURE:1Ti 1:12 KJV “And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;”

One of the greatest insights a child of God can have is the acknowledgement of the fact that it is a great privilege to be appointed to serve God.Serving God is the highest honour on earth to be given to any man.God is the Monarch of the universe and He is the highest paying and the most noble engagement to be accorded any one.2Co 4:1 KJV “Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;” He says it is an act of mercy to be called to serve God.He says further that as a result of such mercy or privilege being given to us he does not faint or surrender to any negative pressuresLet’s consider another statement Paul makes about his service.Rom 11:13 KJV” For I speak to you Gentiles, since I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:” Once again Paul expresses the great joy of service.He says I magnify my office.To magnify has the following meanings.It means to praise or to esteem very high, to give it the highest attention,or to celebrate, to hold in honour, to adorn with lustre and also to render it excellent.It is no wonder he excelled so much in ministry.

Dear child of God every area of service God has called you to serve must be seen in the light of what has been described above.You must attend to it with great joy and pleasure.Sadly, many children of God have no appreciation at all about what God has asked them to do.Many also think that since I am not a preacher then I am not a minister.Please do not deceive yourself. Why would God judge each one of us , if he did not give us a task to do on earth for him? Amo 6:1 KJV” Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!” The scripture says woe to them who are doing nothing in the house of God.Woe is an expression of grief or calamity on such a person.You are in serious trouble if you are not in any service of any kind in the house of God or in service to God.

Dear one, you do not have to be a pastor, prophet, apostle evangelistic, or teacher to be a minister.The word minister simply means a servant or a slave. You are God’s slave but this time, a love slave because you joyfully serve him.Joyful service endears you to the blessing of all thingsDeu 28:47 KJV” Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;” God always loves those who are cheerful about whatever they do for Him.2Co 9:7 KJV” Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” This is the joy of life, and that is for God to rejoice over you.This is the reason for creation and especially creating human kind.Rev 4:11.Make your life meaningful, rewarding and exciting by your joyful engagement in serving God.Indeed God has counted you worthy to be placed in His service.

THOUGHT;SERVING GOD IS THE GREATEST EMPLOYMENT
