At Your service!

I have been observing the people around my church at Uecm every sunday and noticed that my church is really blessed with people who are strong and dedicated. Strong in a sense of being strong in their faith and deed. I saw especially those people who are in their different ministries with different responsibilities. I saw that they are really committed and have the heart to make a service for God. May it be in ushering ministry who are really early on guard at their post, may it be in tech team ministry who facilitate the technical aspects of the church, may it be in praise and worship team who gives life and energy to sing praises and adoration before God, may it be in sherebiah choir who have the angelic voices like angels, may it be in junior worship ministry who minister for the kids etc. As well as those people behind different fellowships every friday.

I remembered the passage in Romans 12:4 "For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we though many, are one body in Christ."
I thank God for allowing different individuals like us to serve Him. Indeed we are very unworthy, knowing that we really can't pleases God because of His high standards yet He still gives us the priviledge to serve Him to bring glory to His name. Don't you think that it is really a pleasure for us to serve Him? Of course! we are serving the king of kings and the Lord of Lords! Its beyond everything.

May we always be reminded that each individuals in different ministries are very important. So whatever we do, we should be committed and prioritize God's ministries above all.

Sometimes, we may feel like no importance at all in the ministry that we are in and allow the evil thoughts to enter in our minds. But may the passage above reminds us that we are called to serve Him, and no matter what we do, we should have the goal to serve God and to glorify Him. May we always check ourselves and correct our motives. Making sure that we are to point and lead people to Christ and not to glorify ourselves.
