God Is Calling You

God’s call into ministry is not limited to a few but extends to all who belong to Him. Ministry is the daily act of serving, loving, and sharing Christ in every sphere of life. Each believer carries a unique gift and responsibility to contribute to the work of God’s kingdom.

The early church thrived because ordinary men and women embraced their calling. Some taught, others encouraged, many gave generously, and all prayed fervently. Ministry is about participation, not spectatorship. When every member of the body is active, the Church grows stronger and the world sees the power of Christ alive in His people.

The Bible says, “Each one, as a good manager of God’s different gifts, must use for the good of others the special gift he has received from God” (1 Peter 4:10 GNT). To be called is to be entrusted, and to respond is to glorify God.
