Scripture Reading: Ephesians 4:12
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ

Reflections: In his correspondence to the Corinthian congregation, Paul communicated that one of the primary duties of God’s ministers is to nurture and equip church members to carry out the work of the ministry. This information implies that serving in God’s house is an obligation. God has designed each church member to contribute to their local church in a way that advances the kingdom and its well-being. As a result, it is essential to periodically evaluate your role as a church member to ensure alignment with the divine mandate of engaging in the work of the ministry. God does not intend for you to be a passive church member; continue participating actively in the ministry’s work!

Prayer: Dear Lord, help me take up my role in kingdom enlargement

Confession: I just don’t belong to a church. I am part of the active workforce of my church!
