God gives to us so that we have something of His to share with others.

Attached to the gifts are opportunities to Minister.

Always.

 

Remember, the servant who held onto the gift from his Master gained nothing for himself or his Master.

Ministry gives us the opportunity to invest God’s gifts so that the harvest, the return, is abundant.

Double, maybe triple…

The abundance is very much dependent on giving away God’s bounty in Service to others.

 

You may not feel comfortable investing God’s gift to you. That’s not a valid reason to hide it.

Focus on the “Ministry-for-God” reason for doing.

 

“Freely have I received; freely I must give.”

God empowers us for nothing less.
