Each of us has been gifted with something unique and special to share along this journey called life. When we begin to recognize our interdependence upon one another as brothers and sisters in Faith, friend to friend, man to woman, we discern with spiritual eyes that we are all called to serve in the cause of building God's kingdom. When our hearts are stirred by the Spirit of God to attend to the needs of another, it is up to the individual to make the choice to allow God to use us. God is indeed wooing us!
"Minister" is both a noun and a verb, as you know. It has several definitions; but numbers 5 and 7 describe what we are about at Boaz Ministries; "a person acting as an agent or instrument of another", "to furnish, or supply". We are agents and instruments of God. And His omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent leadership makes us all legit as followers! It doesn't take a college degree, or a fancy ordination ceremony to reach out to someone. Ministers are everyday people; individuals, boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, with their own stories to tell and willing hands extended to uplift those in need. The needs are varied, and the way we meet them comes from our creativity and abilities.
Ministers are people who simply answer the call in the affirmative, roll up our sleeves, plant the seed, and allow the Lord to do the rest. He alone is worthy of all the glory and all the praise! Have a blessed weekend, and love one another, fiercely!
