Full time?

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. Ephesians 4: 11 & 12

Our Officer (Pastor) asked us last Sunday if we were full-time ministers - and there wasn’t a great show of hands!

Full-time to many people equates to paid employment. However as transformed followers of Christ, we have been called to do full-time service for the expansion of the kingdom.

As the quotation from Ephesians says, we have been given appointments by the Lord through the Holy Spirit, each one sealed by the contract of us accepting Jesus, and Jesus paying the price for our sins.

It is our job to carry out that appointment full-time, not just on Sundays or at church activities, but 24/7 - 365 days a year (366 each leap year), by sharing with the people with whom we come into contact.

So next time you are asked are you a full-time minister, the answer should be YES!!
