Ministry of love.A Poem by KittyWhy do we serve our brothers and sisters? the widow, the orphan or the homeless...motives, thats all that matters to God.What has the Father called you to do?
Feed the hungry? Clothe the naked?
Love your neighbor and pray for your enemies But that’s only the beginning When he calls you to the race Don’t be deceived, You can’t do this on your own We must constantly seek his will.. We must always walk in his ways.
You know what? I’ma keep it real! I’m tired of some folks who play church and Join a ministry to be seen and Be popular in the “Christian scene”
Don’t get me wrong, its nice to minister within the body But some folks have clicks and act prideful and haughty.
But let me ask you something, Have you ever ministered to an atheist on the streets? How about an unbelieving relative?
Would you even hear the Spirit If he called you to speak to a stranger?
And if you hear heard Him Would you actually do it?
Or would you ashamed of the King?
Would you be concerned about what they thought of you? Are you willing to go through that? Are you willing to deny your flesh? Are you willing to get on your knees Get on your face and Cry out to Him? Increase his Kingdom Plant a seed or Water a seed or Help a friend in financial need?
Did you know that your J.O.B is the place where God wants to use you the most? To stand in the gap for your boss? Yeah, I said it…
Love your neighbor and your enemies too remember? Or should I read this poem all over again? Are you listening?
Stop playing church folks!! Jesus IS coming..
He is not ashamed of YOU… Yeah.. Even when you act a straight fool. Oh, you want me to give you an example?
Remember that guys that was driving too slow? You cut him off and the only thing he Found out about you is that you were Christian.. How you ask? By the little fish on the back of your car of course.
This is when you should have been listening to the Spirit and ministering To your neighbor.. Stop and think for a moment.. What does his Spirit reveal? Maybe he’s driving slow to save on gas.. “it’s his last tank of gas until payday” Or maybe his mind is on his sick child.. Listen and the Spirit will guide you After all, He is sitting beside you.
Yeah I’ma let you ponder for a min.. Tick Tock Tick tock Yeah time is running out So what are you waiting for? Start your ministry to serve Him To surrender and to act"to live... The way Jesus did. © 2011 KittyAuthor's Note
