Full Time Ministry

Many believers say that they want to go into full time ministry, meaning that they want to go and work for some church or some ministry. Churches and ministries are not the Kingdom of God, they are organizations of men that serve themselves. We are called to be disciples, full time disciples of Jesus Christ.

A Christian is a FOLLOWER OF JESUS, full time, not part time. Jesus said:”Whoever wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, pick up his cross and follow Me every day.” That is what He called us to. We are all called to follow Him, to live in a real relationship with Jesus, to do His will, or else we are not following Him. You cannot follow Jesus by being an employee of a church, church has got nothing to do with the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is about Jesus about your relationship with him. Is He your King? Are you a witness for HIM? Are you following HIM? Are you in everything trying to be pleasing to Jesus? Is your relationship with Jesus all that matters to you? That is why He called us, to follow HIM to be part of His Kingdom. He calls us to be disciples and to make disciples. He calls us firstly to REPENT, to be holy, totally dedicated to Him, living in righteousness and obedience to Him, to listen to His voice, to His Holy Spirit who will guide us into fruitfulness, to be witnesses for Him. Our light must shine in this world. If our light is not shining and if we are not bearing fruit then we are useless for the Kingdom of God and then we are close to being cut off. Because every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off.

We are the salt of the earth and if we have lost our saltiness then we are good for nothing, just good to be trodden under foot, not even good enough for the dung pile! We are all called to be disciples. We are all called to make our light shine. We are all called to witness for Jesus. You don't need to go to a seminary and belong to some church. We are called to be disciples of Christ and as we follow Him, He will guide us into fruitfulness. If you seek to witness for Jesus, He will open doors for you. He will send you, He will guide you, He will use you, but if you don't get up and follow Him you are not a Christian, you are not a follower of Jesus. You cannot accommodate Jesus is not your life somehow! Either Jesus is your LIFE and you are following Him full time or you are not a follower of Christ.

Jesus requires everything of us, everything! If you wish to go after Him, deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Jesus. That is the calling. Follow the Master, SERVE the King, or else you are not part of the Kingdom of God. He calls us to FULL TIME DUTY.

May Jesus Bless you.
