If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you have a ministry. Do you know the joy of discovering and using your ministry gift to serve God by serving others. One young man said to me, "I don't have a ministry gift." I assured him that all believers in Christ are gifted. After he took a gifts inventory, he was excited to see how God was working in his life. He discovered his ministry.
All believers have a ministry gift. Read about them in the Bible. There are many ministry gifts. Do you know yours? Joy comes when you discover your gift and serve God through your ministry. You are enabled to minister to others with a God given ability. He opens doors of opportunity for you to serve. Then, you find your specific ministry in the body of Christ. Your purpose in life is identified.
In the church, not everyone is a pastor, evangelist, or missionary, but every believer is a minister. The word minister simply means servant. God distributes ministry gifts to all believers. You can know your God given purpose in ministry. When you find your gift, you find God's joy in ministry. God's children are gifted. Find your ministry.
"As each one has received a gift,
minister it to one another . . ."
1 Peter 2:10
"Having then gifts differing
according to the grace that is given to us,
let us use them."
Romans 12:6
