Effective in Ministry

1. Accept the gifts and calling that God has given you, do not envy or criticize what others have or try to imitate them.

2. Pray daily to know the will of God for you and your ministry.

3. Be content with where God has called you, and with what He is asking you to do.

4. Continually ask for God’s help and power to do His will.

5. Remind yourself every day that you are in ministry to serve God and others and not to serve yourself or your own gain.

Finally,
Be reminded that God has called you just as you are. He has given you specific gifts for a reason. He desires to use you as the person you are along with the gifts you have – in combination with His Spirit’s anointing and transforming work – to minster to others.

He Suffered

Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. — Hebrews 2:18

Jesus was tempted like we are! He suffered like we do! God in his grace made sure that we have someone in heaven who knows what it is like to face suffering and mortality. This knowledge is not only omniscient wisdom. Jesus also guarantees that heaven's knowledge includes human experience. Aren't you thankful that Jesus knew suffering and mortality and that he now lives to redeem, to bless, and to ultimately help us mortals?

In the Lord’s Hands

. The Place of Disposal

Proverbs 20:1
Wine  is a mocker  and beer a brawler;
 whoever is led astray  by them is not wise.

. The Place of Hiding and Usefulness

Isaiah 49:2
He made my mouth  like a sharpened sword,
 in the shadow of his hand  he hid me;
 he made me into a polished arrow
 and concealed me in his quiver.

. The Place of Security

John 10:28-29
I give them eternal life,  and they shall never perish;  no one will snatch them out of my hand.    My Father, who has given them to me,  is greater than all;  no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
