Ministering,

i realise something, God is a really a God who plans things for the right time.
And He always talks to me about awesome things when i'm bathing.
Like phrases or sentences that will surely be great for a post.
But what's sad is this... After bathing, i forget -.-
And yes, nothing to post.
Must really start to remember those good stuffs already, then can share.
And yea, masterlife this week was great!
About ministering to others.
But what really got my attention was ministering to others in a ministry in church.
I've always wanted to be a part of the crew in church, in a ministry.
More of like a calling is what i really want to know.
It's not like i'm some big time sinner who sins everyday and think it's nothing and won't feel guilty.
But everytime i sin, i confess, and i won't say i'm disobedient to what He commands.
But i still don't get my calling.
And andy talked to me about calling in life.
That everyone has their specific calling, may it be a Pastor, Leader, Usher.
And even if i don't get my calling now, i'll still get it eventually.
And i think he talked about opportunities also, that God will give opportunities to us and He will see if we will grab those opportunities, those can be callings.
But after masterlife so far, i learnt that, you don't need to have calling in your life to minister.
Everyone has already a ministry, it's just how you go out and minister to others.
Ranks or authorities, new comers or fresh Christian, when it comes to ministering, WE are the same.
No such thing as, i'm a pastor, so only i can minister, No.
Everyone can minister, that God's gift for us too.
And when we minister, we will face rejections, that's also when God wanna see how we overcome all these obstacles and see who will we rely on. Jesus or ourselves.
But we must also remember, that we have the holy spirit that empowers us/ help us in such situations.
And yea, John 15: 13
Greater Love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
Ministering will include sacrificing, Love, and obstacles.
And the Disciples Cross also have those ministry.
Word, Ministry of teaching. Prayer, Ministry of intercession. Fellowship, Ministry of Nutrure. Witness, Ministry of evangelism.
And yea, i did a research on what it means 'Take up your cross and follow Me'

Therefore, “Take up your cross and follow Me” means being willing to die in order to follow Jesus. This is called “dying to self.” It’s a call to absolute surrender. After each time Jesus commanded cross bearing, He said, “For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?” (Luke 9:24-25). Although the call is tough, the reward is matchless.

Which also means, dying to our old ways / turning with Christ to the world in need.
That's all! God bless :D
