Your identity in Christ propels your mobility for Christ.
“It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” Eph 4:11-13 (NIV)
Knowing who you are and who’s you are keeps you living on purpose. Your secure identity in Christ enables you to represent Christ and do works of service that benefit others. Are you being equipped to use your gifts and abilities to serve? Have you found your specific area of service? Have you been mobilized?
Express Your Faith:
If you have not turned your life over to Christ, do so now by expressing your faith in Him alone. Once you are saved, you become a child of God and you are graciously adopted into His family.
Explore Your Options:
God loves variety. There are countless ways to serve God through the ministry of the local church. Be sure to explore the options available to you at the local church you are connected to. It is prudent to tryout a ministry opportunity and see if it fits your gift mix. If it does not fit you, then try another one.
You will be most valuable where you add the most value!
Pursuing God,
