Ministry happens when you use your shape, your spiritual gift, your heart, ability, personality and experiences.
Everyone of us can be a minister. (However does not mean that you are a pastor)
Serve God free, means to be available (Matt 20:30-32)
We must be willing to be disturbed at times.
1st Barrier - Self centreness (Phil 4:2)
2nd Barrier - Perfectionism (i.e., I would like to do it well, be very responsible), it can hinder, delay us in serving God. God, I am no sure if I can do it well, every person called, none of us are qualified. God will qualify those He called. GoOd uses ordinary people, foolish people, hopeless people, who has no future, God uese you! That is the great thing! Don't wait for perfect circumstances or condition before you decide to serve God.
3rd Barrier - Materialism (Luke 16:13)
God will propser people, beyond materialism. God is faithful, He will take care of you. Putting God first, His church, His people, God will put you first!
Serving like Jesus means being Grafeful.
When we serve, it should be a sense of opportunity, not a sense of obligation. (John 11:41-42)
Not just be available, but be grateful!
It is true, God bless me more when I serve Him. I grew more, being equipped with more skills, skills of presentation,
1st Barrier - comparing and critizing
(Roman 14:4)
2nd Barrier - wrong motivation (Matt 6:1)
i..e out of guilt, want to be appreciated, wants attention... we knew when we lost the grateful heart, not knowing why I was involved in the ministry.
Serving like Jesus means being faithful
