The Ministry Of Reconciliation. A Priestly Ministry For Every Believer A Priestly Ministry For Every Believer
…God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:19).
Some Christian folks think that the preaching of the Gospel is only from behind the pulpit—- the pulpit ministry. But God didn’t assign the preaching of the Gospel to a few in the body of Christ. Actually, the office of the Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Teachers and Pastors is not to the world, but to the Church.
The Bible says in Ephesians 4:11-12, “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry…”
The work of the five-fold ministry gifts in the Church are for the perfecting of the saints so that the saints can do the work of the ministry. The work of the ministry is the preaching of the Gospel (Good News) to the people’s of the world. This is also called the ministry of reconciliation, and it’s a ministry for every believer; for every child of God.
When you became a child of God, having eternal life and being full of the Holy Spirit, you became a witness of His resurrection. That’s your office. You’re a witness of eternal life. What a privilege and honour.
The Bible says there’s more joy in heaven over one sinner that repents than over ninety-nine just person’s that need no repentance (Luke 15:7). Let heaven be full of joy as you fulfill your duty as a minister of reconciliation by leading someone to Christ. Let your daily routines accommodate actions that lead people to Christ.
