Your servant is listening
We wanted to do great things for God. Excellent. We should. But we should be ready when God gives us simpler ministries, ones that are not public and thus not publicly applauded. After all, we claimed to be servants and servants shouldn't be choosy of what assignments to perform.
The highest position inside the Body of Christ is that of a servant. Jesus Himself said that if you wanted to be the greatest, you need to be the lowest, the servant of all. If you're idea of serving Christ is lording it over the church, with titles and with privileges, you're modelling Gentile leadership rather than Christ-like servant leadership.
We must remember that sweeping the floor of the meeting place is still ministry. Yes it isn't glamorous. Yes it is not public. But if there's something we learn from the Sermon on the Mount, it is this: if you're serving for public applause, public applause is what you'll get. But the Lord who sees in secret is the Audience worth impressing.
If you minister to impress others, you're missing on the rewards available at the Bema. Rewards are for services rendered, not for public posturing.
We should serve where we see a need in the church even if it isn't glamorous. After all gifts are given to edify the church. So whatever requires to edify it is a legitimate area of ministry. Even if nobody sees it.
Manatiling nakapokus sa biyaya. Huwag ninyong hayaang nakawin ng mga huwad na guro ang inyong karapatang mag-isip ng doktrina.
(Kung gusto ninyo ng karagdagang impormasyon, bisitahin ninyo kami. May pagtitipon kami sa Dahat, kada Linggo, kada 1:00-3:00 pm. Sana manampalataya kayo at kita-kita tayo.
Isang mahalagang paalala: ang mga blogs na ito ay personal kong opinyon at eksposisyon; hindi ito opisyal na pananaw ng Partido Christian Bible Church. Kung nais ninyong malaman ang kanilang opisyal na posisyun, magtanong kayo sa mga matanda ng simbahan. Ang Nieto Bible Page ay isang hiwalay na ministri mula sa PCBC at independiyente rito. Nakikipagtipon ako sa PCBC, pero may personal akong kumbiksiyon sa mga bagay. Bagama't miyembro (muli) ako ng teaching and ruling leadership ng PCBC, anumang mabasa ninyo rito ay hiwalay sa kanila. Anumang nasusulat ay aking pananagutan.
Kung nakatulong sa inyo ang mga blogs na ito, mangyaring pasubscribe at pashare sa iba. Ibahagi natin at ikalat ang mga Salita ni Cristo at ang libreng biyaya ng Diyos sa lahat ng dakong Filipino ay lenggwahe. Salamat po.)
