Our Ministry calling is the "Great Commission" Mark 16:15 - 18

Matt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Matt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

Mark 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

The Greek word "sozo" means salvation, which means saved healed and delivered.
Five fold ministry, music ministry, teaching & preaching the whole gospel of Jesus Christ. Also counseling ministering to singles and couples. Evangelism, helping hands, ministry of prayer, mother in Israel.

Teaching showing the young and old Christians how to use the word of God in their every day lives.

To apply the word of God to their circumstances.

God has equipped us with tools of the word such as:
(a)   applying the blood daily, Exod. 12:13-25; Exod.12:23; Exod. 12:26-27.
(b)   putting on the whole armor of god daily, Eph. 6:11 put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
(c)   to bind and loose, Matt. 16:19 and I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.   Matt 12:29 or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man and then he will spoil his house.

A general call of ministry. The general call is common to every Christian. The general ministry is being a witness, being a servant and being as teachers of the word of Christ.

COL 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the lord.

1TIM. 4:11 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enable me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

2TIM. 2:15 These things command and teach.

2TIM. 2:24 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2TIM 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

MATT. 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock;

EZEK. 33:31 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.

EZEK. 33:32 And lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.

EZEK. 33:33 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.

1COR. 14:3   But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

TITUS 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

1TIM 5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

1COR. 12:28   And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

1COR 12:29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?

JOHN 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, bur the will of the Father which hath sent me.

The ministry of Jesus Christ sets the pace for your ministry. I am under the ministry of Jesus Christ. There is only one thing that can equip you for ministry and that is being with Jesus and being filled with the Holy Ghost.

As a teacher of God's word, don't be worried about what you don't know it is out of what you have in you that you teach. What ever you receive from god into your heart and personalize into your life is how you share with others.

When you are submitted to the word of God, then you will delegate the authority of God's word. It is in the hidden place that God reveals himself to you. There he forms and molds you as his vessel of honor preparing you for his work.

We surrendered and yielded to be taught by the Holy Spirit. We became students before we became teachers of God's word.
