Added for You - The Three Vital Ministries of the Average Christian
The Feeling You Get When You Give powerful ministry.A woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry and the woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the woman."I've been thinking" he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I will give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious.

Many believers especially those new to the faith, believe personal ministry is beyond their abilities. Please understand I am not saying that every Christian should pastor a church, or other large ministry. However much of the work of the church has been done, and should be done by what are called lay (not licensed or ordained) ministers. I have identified three ministries which are vital to the Lord's work, but can be performed by any average Christian. It is my belief that anything done in Jesus' name, and for his purposes can be correctly termed ministry unless the action is sinful on its face (i.e. murder.)These days, searching for loans in the UK financial market is not as hard as it used to be. There are a cornucopia of choices to choose from, at affordable rates. This is principally due to the competition among lenders in the UK market. However, there is nothing like choosing with prudence here. A thorough analysis of the loan companies is necessary. There are several loan firms vying for a piece of the borrowing pie. These personal loans are provided by Internet loan providers; High Street Banks; Building Societies; private lenders; and the Internet. While the first few options are common and have been in the market for lon I - PRAYER: Not only is prayer a vital ministry by itself, but our prayers and the prayers of others for us. give us strength and wisdom for other ministries. As I have written elsewhere we should pray for others more than we pray fore ourselves. When we use prayer to serve others, we then have turned it into a powerful ministry.

I have identified three ministries which are vital to the Lord's work, but can be performed by any average Christian. It is my belief that anything done in Jesus' name, and for his purposes can be correctly termed ministry unless the action is sinful on its face (i.e. murder.)Discussing wills and durable powers of attorney with your parents can be somewhat scary for most people. I think there are a number of reasons for this. First of all, it is admitting to yourself that your parents will not live forever and also will not be the strong, healthy caretakers of you that you grew up with, forever. Thinking about your "heroes" being bedridden, in a wheelchair, or hunched over in a nursing home can be a frightening image to us. We'd just rather not think about it, thank you very much.Second, as much as you may not want to focus on impend I - PRAYER: Not only is prayer a vital ministry by itself, but our prayers and the prayers of others for us. give us strength and wisdom for other ministries.

As I have written elsewhere we should pray for others more than we pray fore ourselves. When we use prayer to serve others, we then have turned it into a powerful ministry.I have a client who wanted to drive prospective customers to his online store using a business-to-business postcard. Great idea, I thought, and cost effective.He had a terrific product, a compelling offer, and a sound business model. He had just one problem.

The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. " Obviously the apostle Paul thought that it was important for all of us to pray and not just for our own needs. Many people comment that they do not know what to pray. They want someone to give them the "right" words. My brothers and sisters there are no "right" words. It will help if you think of prayer as a conversation with Jesus. Just start talking with him, in your own words, about the burdens on your heart. He will listen, and both you and the one you pray for will be truly blessed. II- FELLOWSHIP Our second vital ministry is very special because we must have each other for it to work. Fellowship is the act of gathering together. Even if we gather with other Christians in a purely social event we are ministering to each other. Some of the most empowering experiences I have had as a minister is when I get the chance to be with other members of the clergy. We pray together, we eat together, we play together, and we encourage each other. Spending time with like-minded people is very refreshing ! T
