Hebrews 6:10 - You care called to minister to the brethren

“For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.”

Hebrews 6:10

Did you know that you were a minister? Every Christian that is alive in Christ is called to minister to the body. You may not in the pulpit, but you are to do things behind the scenes. And He sees every kind thing that you do in His name. You can be used to refresh, revitalize, and bless believers. Many believers today think that pastors, missionaries, and evangelists are the only spokesmen for the work of the gospel. They are a big part, but not the only part. God needs you to go out into the world and share Him, His love, and His truths as well. God has equipped you with spiritual gifts to strengthen the body of Christ. You can pick up the phone or text someone and ask them how they are doing and tell them that you are praying for them. You can invite someone to lunch so that you can fellowship with one another. You can make a meal for someone that is in need. You can meet with someone and pray for the nation or various needs. You can give someone a gift that the Holy Spirit has laid on your heart. You can mow the lawn for an elderly person. These simple acts of kindness can lift the spirits of your brothers and sisters in Christ and make them feel loved. This is a vital part of body ministry. These things are to take place throughout the week. This is being doers of the Word. This is what God wants to do through you. Ask God to show you how you can bless those in His body. Remember that His church is not just those in the walls of your own church body. He has children all around you. He can use you to build up and encourage them as well. Let Him lead you to demonstrate His abundant love. Remember today’s verse “For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.”

God, You are not unjust to forget our work and labor of love which we have shown toward His name. Lord, it is a privilege to minister to the saints. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of body ministry throughout the week. May we be sensitive to Your spirit and minister effectively, all to the glory of You. We want to be used to refresh, revitalize, and bless our brothers and sisters in the Lord. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
