"It really is a matter of people seeing themselves as a full time minister and bringing people to church."
A lot of times people think it is the paid ministers and pastors that do the work of the ministry. The Bible teaches us otherwise. We all are full time ministers.
A minister really is a servant for the people. Anyone who is a follower of Jesus is a servant. Jesus Himself said that no servant is greater than his master. We are to follow His example. He came to serve and we should too.
The Bible teaches that ministers and pastors really are there to equip the saints to do the work of the ministry. As we do it will cause growth to the body of Christ. That growth occurs from winning souls and making disciples.
If you are a Christian then you have a vital role to play in the growth of the church. Do your part. Tell someone about Jesus. Invite someone to church. Lead a small group or serve in a ministry. Find your giftings and your passions and put them to use for the kingdom. You may get paid in a job to take care of your bills and your family but you are a full time minister!
How does seeing yourself as a full time minister change how you live? What can you do to see yourself as a full time minister?
