The scriptures are
replete with
admonition and instructions of being an excellent minister of Jesus
Christ. In one reference of the New Testament ministers are even
advised to be sure of their calling – 2 Peter 1:10 "Wherefore
the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election
sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall" : The
bible warns that any lighthearted approach to the teaching of the
gospel may cost one his or her due
benevolence in heaven.
Today, in the twenty first century, we
are faced with thing
s that no other generation before us has
ever faced, or at least not in such accelerated rates - John
16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have
peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I
have overcome the world". Through the Holy Ghost, we too, as believers, can be
over comers.
Many ministries are falling beneath the bar that Christ has raised,
and the world is not tolerant of these mistakes. We must pray for each
other and when the time permits, admonish each other as the Holy Ghost
leads. To be a ministry of excellence in this
generation we must walk in the Spirit at all times.
Let us lay aside every weight, and
the sin which doth so easily beset us,
and let us run with patience
the race that is set before us, (Hebrews 12:1). Let pray for each
other at all times redeeming the times for time is running short.
God bless you eternally,
Steve Maples
