IT IS ALL SPIRITUAL, IN JESUS NAME.

Ministering & Serving, With This Houston, Texas, Preacher & Apostle James R Winfree Sr,
Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
The Bible has a great deal to say about servanthood because the central theme of the Bible is the Servant of all, Jesus Christ. “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). When we give Jesus Christ His rightful place as Lord of our lives, His lordship will be expressed in the way we serve others (Mark 9:35; 1 Peter 4:10; John 15:12-13). How can we demonstrate love for God? Our love for God will be expressed in our love for others. “For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake” (2 Corinthians 4:5). Please know that true biblical ministry or ministries are not just about Pastoring, preaching, teaching, praying, worshiping in religious services, giving your finances, money and your wealth to preachers in helping to build this old wicked kingdom, because as I keep on saying, The God I know and serve is for profit and not just for His Ministers but also for His Members.
True leadership is servanthood, and the greatest leader of all time is Jesus Christ. Servanthood is an attitude exemplified by Christ “who, though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant” (Philippians 2:6-7). The five words in the New Testament translated as “ministry” generally refer to servanthood or service given in love. Serving others first in the family of God and then to all others, is the very essence of ministry. All believers are called to ministry (Matthew 28:18-20); therefore, we are all called to be servants for the glory of God. Living is giving; all else is selfishness and boredom. Just look around and many times right there in your faces there is a ministry to get done, Allow me to name a few if I may, and remember to the family of Christ first, and then all others, clean someone's home, cut the grass, paint and repair someone home, help with food, bills, auto upkeep, and repairs, help take a sister or brother to get their hair cut or fixed, give a ride to the store or where ever they do to go, child care and babysit, help with those who serve faithfully in praying, teaching and encouraging and being a spiritual blessing to others, just to name a few.
It has been rightly stated, “Rank is given to enable you to serve those above and below you better. It is not given for you to practice your idiosyncrasies” If you know just where I'm coming from). Let’s serve our spiritual family and others by serving Christ (Colossians 3:23-24). God the Father has served us by sacrificing Christ on the cross for our sins, and we should serve others by giving the gospel and our lives to them (1 Thessalonians 1:5-6). Those who desire to be great in God’s kingdom must be the servant of all (Matthew 20:26). Amen.
