“Your First Ministry”
How’s your “First Ministry” going? Many of you are scratching your heads wondering when you started a ministry? Well the day you got married your ministry began. The day you had children is the day you added new members to your ministry. As a child you were a member of your parents Fist Ministry and were being trained up for your ministry. As ministries go some fail and some are successful and some that fail can end up branching off into two First Ministries if God so allows. As a child you could be brought up in two First Ministries just like my kids are and I was. My parents First Ministry failed but my mom married again and they began a new ministry and this one was successful if you ask me. Even though there were flaws as in all ministries of men I came out of it ok. I had to relearn things and had to break some bad habits but all in all if I hadn’t gone through what I went through I wouldn’t be the man of God He wants me to be. Dad’s those small simple things you do for your kids are the ones that they will remember the most. If you say you will be at their game then be there. If you tell your daughter you will be at the dance recital then you better be there. Even if you are running late and the game or the program has already started you better be there and do everything you can to make eye contact with your child. Those are the moments in their lives that they will remember for their entire lives. If your parents didn’t do those things for you then it is time for you to break the chain and begin a new thing with your kids. Men a simple “I Love You” and a hug means the world to your kids as well as to your wife. Mom’s we know you love your kids and spend most of your time with them especially in their younger days but your hubby needs an occasional pinch, poke, and tickle too.
Key Verse:
Hebrews 2:11
Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.
Hebrews 2:10-12 (in Context) Hebrews 2 (Whole Chapter)
Jesus Bless you,
