Ministry Is Not About You

Not just a side line job over the weekend.


Not just an ordinary responsibility.


Shouldn't be taken lightly.


Not just an excess of your time


Takes commitment. 100% of it!


Let's you deny yourself. Your "whole" life along with it.


Pushes you to let go of what's holding you back.


Draws you closer to the Lord even more.


Needs your time, effort and attention.


If you choose to follow Him, you'd need to pick up your cross daily.


Not about you but about God working through you.


Definitely not easy but God can!


Ministry.


Matthew 16:24-25 (Amplified Bible)

24Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to be My disciple, let him deny himself [disregard, lose sight of, and forget himself and his own interests] and take up his cross and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying, also].

25For whoever is bent on saving his [temporal] life [his comfort and security here] shall lose it [eternal life]; and whoever loses his life [his comfort and security here] for My sake shall find it [life everlasting].
