The importance of fulfilling your ministry
Jonah 1:3-4
But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken
The Prophet Jonah’s story is a perfect example of what happens to people who refuse to fulfill their ministry or try to disobey God.
The bible says there is no where you can go to flee from God, if you go to the heavens, He there, to the earth, the sea or under the earth, He is still there. (Psalm 139:7-12)
If you refuse to fulfill your ministry God will discipline you like a good Father. You might face challenges that will eventually bring you back to God and make you reconsider your decision to disobey.
It is better to fulfill your ministry and receive the blessing and favor of God than to incur the wrath of God. The bible says no one can stand the wrath of God.(Romans1:18-32)
2 Timothy 4:7-8
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me any that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing.(Revelations 2:10)
It is better to be faithful unto death and receive the crown of life than to turn away from God.
The Apostle Paul confirms this in the passage above. Learn to submit your will to God and He will make something beautiful out of your life.
God be with you.
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. The ministry each christian has to fulfill is to win souls.
2. Each person is given a gift or special grace to minister in different ways.
2. Some have the grace of winning souls through song ministration, drama, writing, giving, preaching from the pulpit, preaching through social media, prayer, street evangelism, counselling etc.
Prayer
Make this song your prayer
