Working with God

“We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.” 
2 Corinthians 6:1(KJV)

Ministry is partnership with the Holy Spirit. A call into the ministry is a call into a divine partnership. This is why the Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 3:9, “For we are labourers together with God…” This lets you know that ministry is labouring together with God. So when you get into the work of the ministry, it is important you know that you are in partnership with the Father through the Holy Spirit.

God wants to work with you, in you and through you because you are the body of Christ, and the movement of the body is the movement of Christ. Wherever you are, Christ is available; His anointing is available because Christ is in you.

Jesus said in John 5:17, “… My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.” Jesus said again in John 5:19, “…Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.” This means that in ministry, the Father initiates and we follow.

So whatever the Father tells us to do or shows in the realm of the Spirit, is what we do on earth. That is what true ministry is all about, it is building according to the pattern of the Spirit.

PRAYER
Dear Father I want to thank you for the privilege of been called into the ministry. I ask that the influence of your Spirit would increase upon my heart to make me more submissive and committed to your leadership and guidance in Jesus Name. Amen.
