I can clearly
see where God uses people to carry on His kingdom ministries. When others are called to different places,
God will raise up new vessels to minister in the vacancies that were left
behind. However, it is up to the people
to step into those ministries and carry out the calling that God has placed on
their lives.
In some, He will choose to use the gifting
and talents that already exist. In
others, He may choose to provide new talents that the people never contemplated
using in any kind of ministry position.
However, even though God provides the tools and capabilities for
operating in His ministries, it is ultimately up to the people to carry the
banner for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Regardless of your gifting, talents, or
even personality, there is a ministry where you can
step up and serve. If you are an
introvert, maybe you can serve in an area that doesn't require exhausting
direct interaction with others. If you
are an extrovert, maybe you can serve in an area where the church needs
outgoing people that are energized by interactions with people. Alternatively, maybe you can expand and grow
by overcoming any personality hindrances and let God stretch you into new
boundaries.
So, what ministries are waiting for
you? Where will you serve?
