Serving is Ministry . . .
not thinking that the work of the Church or the vision of the Pastor is only for a few members, but ministry is knowing that you are giving of yourself for Kingdom building. When you give you are guaranteed to receive what GOD has for you in the way of BLESSINGS.
Look at it like this. Open your hand and you will be able to receive what others are trying to give to you. When your hands are closed you cannot receive the gift. The same is of your giving in ministry. When you open your self to ministry and give of your time and talents (gifts) you open yourself to receive the BLESSINGS OF GOD. Find a ministry that you have a passion for and let GOD use you to manifest your gifts.
