Ordered Steps:

Ordered Steps:

The scripture tells us that the steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord.

Ministry outside of the church walls will require a sensitivity to the Holy Spirit in settings or in an environment outside of the setting of organized religion.

Most days proceed as usual or we find ourselves doing things that we may not even feel as being spiritual.  Then there are those times when an opportunity is presented that wows you!  Holy Spirit uses your mouth to release the Knowledge and Wisdom of God to another!
God has strategically positioned you to be in the Right place at the Right time and all of a sudden God is glorified.
The greatest compliment that we can be given from other people is when they say things to us that they did not understand was the character of Christ. What an honor as a Christian for others to get us mixed up with Jesus as we witness.
To God be all the glory as we give Him all the praise!

A prayer for us:

Dear Lord,
Give us divine appointments and place us in the proximity of someone who is looking for Truth that would set them free from discouragement and despair.
Grant us your wisdom to share your Truth in Love and may the Holy Spirit draw them to your throne of Grace. May souls be translated into the glorious kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Through your wisdom may we be soul winners where ever we may be at through the day. Help us oh Lord to identify the divine moments through the day that you have ordered for us.
In Jesus Name Amen!
Blessings

Collaboration: The Ministry of the Body of Christ

The scripture tells us that the Body of Christ is connected with joints and bands.
Every joint has been given a responsibility TO supply nourishment to one another.
God's Word says that we are individual members of one Body.
I live in a rural state that many pride themselves of not needing anyone. This promotes isolation. It is true that we as Christians all have the same commission but we also have individual assignments to fulfill the great commission.
Ministry outside of the church walls does not mean that you are not connected to the Body of Christ even though it FEELS like you are. Thank God we are not governed by our Feelings but rather by the Word of God. The Great Commission is principled by the Church the Body of Christ ministering or serving outside of the walls of the church not in them.
This is the only way that the Kingdom of God advances and expands in the earth.
It is my prayer that we honor each person's assigned role or ministry so that Grace can be multiplied to us in our generation as we serve. The scripture says thst we are co-laborers together. So
may we leverage the resources we have been given through our individual gifts and talents and collaborate together so that we can rejoice in the fruit of our labor.
Blessings
