How to Step into Your Ministry



“But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don't be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you”.
                                                                                                --2 Timothy 4:5

Lesson text: 1 Samuel 17


What is Ministry?

Ministry means carrying out your God given assignment
Ministry is when your destiny in manifestation.
Ministry is focus towards touching lives, advancing God’s kingdom and changing your world.

No human being is born empty.
No human being born without a purpose.

Destiny is your discovering your divine purpose; but your ministry is bringing into reality that destiny.

A man who cannot convert or transmit his destiny into ministry is like a salt that was never put into the soup!

Prophetic Word:It is time for Divine Shifting. It is time for My Children to move forward. It is time for My Vessels to pour out the oil inside them into the dying world”.
God is shifting us from the ground of learning to the ground of impartation.
