Did you know your ministry is determined by your design?  It is!  When you understand what God mad you to be you will come into an understanding of what God made you to do.  I have heard some people in churches before complain to me saying that they are frustrated at their church.  When I have heard this I always ask what area they are involved in and the overwhelmingly majority of the time people reveal that they are hardly involved.  My answer?  You are frustrated because you need an outlet.  You need to be serving.

What is ministry?  It can be defined as using what God has given you to serve Him and the needs of others.  So who do you minster to?  There are three different ministry points in life and they are as follows:  God, Believers, and Unbelievers.  You can find ministry to all of them and be very fulfilled as a Christ Follower.

We minster in three areas of need as well.

Physical (Matt. 25:35-36, 40)

Emotional (1 Thes 5:14)

Spiritual (Col. 1:28, 29)

So what is the purpose of ministry?  The purpose is to build up his body and not your body.  Don’t get all messed up trying to build you r ministry credentials as your main focus.  Spend your life making Jesus famous and not yourself. Spend your life serving.  Serving is ministry.
