Ecclesiastes 10-12, 2 Corinthians 8:1-15, Psalms 49:1-20, Proverbs 22:20-21
What God said to me – Have you heard of “sitters and soakers”? All they do is go to church and listen to the message and go home – they never act on it or participate in ministry – they check the box in their mind that they went to church so they’re good for another week. I intended each of My children to minister as I direct, but before you do, you have to give yourself wholly to Me. When you follow Me wholeheartedly you will find yourself eager to minister and to serve. However, let Me give you a word of warning – don’t just serve others, but allow them to serve you also. Ministry within My body is meant to be reciprocal with you serving others as they have need and them serving you as you have need, so the entire body is built up to My glory. No one person has every gift necessary to minister and to build up the body. I created it so you need one another – you are a body – you are a family. So, you must minister to others as I direct and allow them to minister to you as I direct them and I will be glorified in the process.
