A ministry is a service to God to other people in Christ name. It is a Greek word diakoneo meaning to serve. Jesus was a minister, who came not to receive service but to give it. Mark 10:45 For even the son of man did not come to e served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Christian are to minister to others out of their devotion to Christ and their love for others. Whether the other people are believers, or unbelievers ministry to others should be impartial and unconditional always seeking to help others as Jesus would. All Christians should be in ministry of helping others 2Timothy 2:24-26. And the Lords servant must not quarrel, instead, he must be kind to everyone able to teach, not resentful. Today’s church call pastors ministers to full time service. Pastors do minister to others and they can rightly be designated as ministers, but pastors are not the only ones who are to be involved in ministry. We are all workers with Christ.
Sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others so they can come to know him and receive him as personal saviour is a great ministry Colossians 2: 6-7 so then just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to leave in him rooted and built up in him strengthened in the faith as you were taught and overflowing with thankfulness. Ministry should include ministering to the physical emotional, mental, vocational and financial needs of others. Jesus did and so we should do. Let all Christian join hand together and serve his people in love. That is ministry and you are a minister.
