You are a MINISTER! Soo, do your job! Eph 3:7

Good morning all!  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!!
    In the past few weeks I have visited with you about being ALL IN,  taking that FIRST STEP, moving forward in the word and doing works for Christ.  Let me share another point that has come to me and opened my eyes.  Yesterday I visited about FAITH, but let us go a few steps further.  WORKS!!
    Are you saved by works?  NO!  But without faith comes no works for the kingdom of God.
Ephesians 3:7 "Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power."
   You are not to be a spectator, watching others do the work of Jesus Christ; but YOU WERE MADE A MINISTER.  But how?  according to the gift of the grace of God!!! That is how!  And what else? Given to you by the working of HIS---who is HIS?---well GOD of course---HIS POWER.
    You may think of yourself as no one special, just someone who believes, goes to church, and tries to do what God wants you to do.   Maybe so!  However, you are a minister and what you do does have an effect.
    Ever throw a rock in water?  What happens?  A splash, then the remnants of the splash are ripples.  Jesus Christ jumped in this pond we call the world and made a big splash and His ripples are still moving, still affecting people world wide.  What about you?  You are a minister, you should make ripples as well.  Huh?  What do you mean?
   When you go forth, even when you don't feel well or even feel like doing so - you go forth, help someone in need, they go forth helping someone, and the ripple goes on and on.  Oh, yes, Billy Graham made a big ripple in the world, your ripple may not be as big or as world felt; nonetheless, your ripple will carry on.
   The Bible teaches us if we are faithful with a little then we will be given more. Luke 16:¹⁰ He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
  So, what I am saying here is, if you are ALL IN,  take that FIRST STEP,  have FAITH, and as a minister go forth you will create a ripple and things will happen for the kingdom of God.  You may not see it directly, but it will happen.  Christianity is not a spectator sport; what you do, what you say, all that you are reflects directly on Jesus Christ.  So, are you all in, jumping to make a splash and let the ripples travel and cover whomever, whereever?  It is time my friend, if you have not given it all, it is time.  Make a ripple; cause a stir; be different all for the cause of JESUS!  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
