"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."
We are all called to minister. But do we? It's not just the Pastor that is to do so. He instructs us so we can also minister to others as he does. We are to minister not only in the Church but outside of the Church doors.
2 Corinthians 2:14-14; 3:1-6 tells us that God enables us to be ministers of the new covenant and what qualifies us:
1. HIS PURPOSE. God triumphs over us to use us to tell others about Him, spreading the Gospel like a sweet Perfume.
2. HIS PRESENCE. We have the fragrance of Christ within us.
3. HIS POWER. He sends only men of integrity, speaking with God's power with His eye on us.
4. HIS TRUTH. Our life is an epistle written in our hearts read by men.
5. HIS SPIRIT. God enables us to be ministers of the new covenant not by the letter but by His Spirit that gives life.
