Colossians 4:17
Amplifed….
And say to Archippus, “see to it that you fulfill (carefully the duties of) the ministry which you have received in the Lord.”
*** IN MY BIBLE I WROTE MY NAME AND HIGHLIGHTED IT UNDER ARCHIPPUS. ***
*** I AM REMINDED THAT PAUL IS SPEAKING TO ME JUST LIKE HE DID TO ARCHIPPUS. ***
*** HOW MANY ARE FULFILLING THEIR MINISTRY DUTIES THEY HAVE RECIEVED FROM THE LORD? ***
*** I GUESS ARCHIPPUS NEED A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT BY WAY OF REMINDER
TO ACTIVATE AND DO HIS MINISTRY. ***
*** EVERBODY IS TO BE INVOLVED IN FULFILLING CAREFULLY THE DUTIES OF THE MINISTRY YOU HAVE RECIEVED IN THE LORD. ***
*** ATTENDING CHURCH SERVICES AND GIVING 10% OF YOUR INCOME IS NOT WHAT I OR PAUL OR GOD IS TALKING ABOUT
HERE. ***
*** JESUS GAVE US…..APOSTLES, PROPHETS, EVANGELISTS, PASTORS, AND TEACHERS ….
Ephesians 4:12
Amplifed….
(And he did this) to fully equip and perfect the saints (God’s people) for works of service, to build up the body of Christ (the
Church);
*** ARE YOU BEING FULLY EQUIPPED?
*** ARE YOU INVOLVED IN WORKS OF SERVICE IN THE LORD? ***
*** ARE YOU BECOMING MATURE IN THE LORD? ***
*** ARE YOU BUILDING UP THE BODY OF CHRIST? ***
*** “IN CHRIST” THERE ARE NO SPECTATORS. ***
*** EVERYONE IS TO BE INVOLVED. ***
*** ONLY IN “ORGANIZED” RELIGIOUS CIRCLES IS IT PRESENTED AS A SPECTATOR EVENT. ***
*** I ENCOURAGE YOU TO SEEK FROM THE LORD YOUR PURPOSE AND GIFT “IN
CHRIST”. ***
*** FULFILL CAREFULLY YOUR DUTIES OF MINISTRY YOU HAVE RECIEVED IN THE LORD. ***
