I don’t know how some in today’s congregations got the false idea that the preacher is a servant and that we are just members! No one is a bystander in GOD’S Kingdom. All believers are in partnership with the LORD (2 Corinthians 6:1)! He chose to work through us to accomplish the gospel mission on earth. We are the workers harvesting His fields (Matthew 9:37-38).
GOD gives each believer one or more spiritual gifts to aid in the work for His Kingdom! We each are wired by GOD with the ability to carry out our unique role in His master plan. He actually knits those spiritual gifts into our personality and unborn talents to create a useful and effective servant for Kingdom work. Just to be clear, there is no such thing as a non-gifted believer!
1 Cor. 12:4-6
There are diversities of gifts by the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries by the same Lord and there are diversities of activities but it is the same God who works all in all.
The RUACH HAKODESH has equipped us with GOD’S awesome power to obey the LORD in whatever He calls us to do! The fields of the earth are ripe for the harvest, so let’s get busy doing GOD’S work for the Kingdom!
Blessings,
Pastor Bruce and Suzi Elman
