Know Why You Serve

Sometimes in ministry we can forget why we serve.  We may even forget who we are or where we came from.  We have the tendency to think that the church is our church, this ministry is our ministry.  Or even this church won't survive without me.  But remember what we learn in Ephesians 4.

And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers
Ephesians 4:11 (NASB) 

God is the one who called you and He is the one who enables you to serve.  He gets to choose where and how your ministry will be.  Humility is a needed quality in ministry.

We serve at His pleasure, with His grace enabling us to know or do anything worthwhile.  You have been given to His church to complete His task.  Brothers we must remember why we serve?
