Living the Christian life can be like trying to break a rock. We keep
doing our best even though nothing much happens. Sometimes we get
discouraged bearing the same burden, resisting the same temptation, as
we go through life, but when we see the work we do for God and mankind
as a ministry, we can every resistance by continuing.
Ephesians 4: 11-12 "and He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelist, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry... "
Isn't it wonderful to know that God's word has an answer to every questions that may arise. God's word brings to an end every dispute that may arise as a result of inaccurate understanding of Scriptures. God's word has the final say.
There are believers who only chose what to believe and what not to believe. If God's Word makes sense to them they believe the word, if the Word doesn't make sense to them they won't believe.
But for how long will you continue to follow God that way? That's not how we ought to relate to the Word. Any passage of the scripture you seems not to understand, you ask the Holy Spirit to shed more light on it. You don't interpret scriptures by the way you feel, you don't interpret scriptures from your sense or head knowledge. It can only be interpreted through the help of the Holy Spirit.
There are believers out there who still think that working in the house of God is meant for a particular set of persons. They are waiting for God to appear to them in an audible voice saying "my son, my son, you are to work in my house", anything short of that, they are not ready to make a move. Well, if you are waiting for that, you might never see that happen. Do you know why? God has Himself given to His Church ministry gifts (apostles, pastors, teachers, prophets, and evangelists) to equip you to work in His house.
As a believer you are meant to be doing something for God in your place of worship. God didn't call you into that family for you to remain idle. It's funny to know that there are Christians who are a part of a Church assembly for several years but they are never a part of any department or unit. As a believer you are meant to be doing something for God in your place of worship.
