READ: Colossians 4:1-18
“And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.” – Colossians 4:17
Many people say, “I do not have a gift like you do and I do not have a spiritual office.” Most people would say that they do not know what their calling is, let alone know how to fulfil it! How much more knowing how to make full proof of their ministry!
The truth is that most of us do not feel specially gifted in ministry. In reality, many have been separated by God but do not respond to it. Many people have been shown love but do not respond to it. If you think you are going to see an angel before you respond to the call of God, you are likely never to respond.
Working for God is called ‘ministry’. It is possible to make full proof of your ministry. The ministry of Jesus Christ is the most important activity you can ever be involved in. The greatest privilege given to a human being is to work for God. It is of utmost importance that you make full proof of your ministry. It is of utmost importance that you complete any assignment the Lord gives you on this earth.
You know what it is like to do an exam that you are not prepared for! You know what it is like when your supervisor finds you unprepared and unready with your work. Do not die without making full proof of your ministry. You will not enjoy your arrival in heaven if you have not fulfilled your ministry.
To make full proof of your ministry, you must understand how God calls you and directs you into fruitfulness. To fulfil your ministry, you must respond to the divine events of your life.
