Learn To Minister To The Lord

“As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them” Acts13:2.

It’s our priestly responsibility as Christians to minister to the Lord, and it’s important that you understand how to do it, and the benefits that accrue from it. The first thing to do in ministering to the Lord is to focus your attention on Him in worship. Secondly , learn to speak words of praise to Him from your spirit; words that extol His majesty. Such praise should have content.

   For example, simply saying, “Lord, I praise you,” isn’t enough. You’ve got to tell Him what you’re praising Him for. Tell Him how wonderful, loving and kind He is; you ought to give substance to your praises of Him. So in ministering to the Lord you focus your attention on Him and praise Him from your spirit with words of worship and thanksgiving. The Lord responds to you when you minister to Him like this.

  When the apostles ministered to Him and fasted as we reward in our opening scripture, He responded by giving them direction regarding an important issue. In the same way, God gives you guidance and enlightens your spirit as to what you need to do in specific circumstances as you minister to Him. He ministers strength to you and prepares you for the task ahead.

   Your fellowship with the Holy Spirit becomes effective as you learn to minister to Him from your spirit; He participates in everything you do and dispenses His blessings into your life. You also experience His transportation as He moves you from one level of glory to another.

PRAYER

I thank you for dispensing abundant grace and blessings into my life; you’re the only true and wise God! I worship you today for decorating my life with your beauty, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!
