Cause to Happen

Col. 4:17 And say to Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it.” (NKJV)

I have started a study in Colossians and was just scanning the book before getting into it verse by verse and this verse stuck out to me. We all have a ministry we have received from the Lord. And we need to make it our priority to fulfill it. It doesn’t matter what the ministry is, whether you are called to a pulpit ministry or a ministry of teaching Sunday school, music or helps. We all have a call from God. And each one of our ministries are important.

It is not how many people are in your church, or how many people you are ministering to. It is are you doing what God called you to do. And are you doing it with all your heart. Are you fulfilling your ministry that you have received from the Lord?

The word fulfill is the Greek word plerro… And one of the definitions means to “cause to happen".

There are things we can do to make our ministry to “cause it to happen” We need to stay sensitive to the Lord and do the things we know to do and God will give us direction and He will cause our ministry to happen. God desires for us to fulfill the ministry He has called us to do.

I believe that God is causing your ministry to happen, as you seek His face.
