As a minister of God, I often remind myself- who’s working in me to do the work of ministry. I can get so caught up in the action of ministry that I leave all sense of true worship and devotion to God. Similar to the Priests of the Old Testament; they offered sacrifices yet their hearts were so far from their lips in worship to Him. I long for a ministry which is first to God and then His people. A place where I can love Him and experience His love radiate upon me to truly love others. We all one day would need to hand over God’s ministry to Him. Joshua 5:13-15, is a fascinating Scripture:
“13When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing before him with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our adversaries?” 14And he said, “No; but I am the commander of the army of the LORD. Now I have come.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped and said to him, “What does my lord say to his servant?” 15And the commander of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.”
Thus Jesus is the true shepherd, the true minister and the true message. All else must bow before Him. We are merely servants of the Most High God. Such a privilege -let us do it well and finish the faith in Faith!
