REAL (23) The gifts and the work of the ministry in the church and in the marketplace

The gifts and the work of the ministry is not just for church, but for anywhere there is a need. Ministry means service. 

Is church more spiritual than working in the marketplace? Is church more important than family? 

What about the gift of discernment to help us to close a business deal? 

The gift of knowledge to open doors for our orphanage kids? The gift of wisdom to help us to get the resources we need to run a shop, a daycare?

Camila spoke about the prophet not making distinction between ministry and outside of the ministry. Life is ministry. Anything can be a ministry, she said.

Is that the change of mind we need to begin to understand better our roles in the Kingdom of God?

To answer the second part of this question you must know your identity in Christ!  Who He has created u to be!  

Romans 8:18-39 is so important. U are a son of God in whom the Holy Spirit moves through freely when u know who u really are. 

Religion teaches us that we must work at being Christ like. Yes, faith without works is dead, but when u know your identity and purpose u will BE who God created u to be!  

What u do will flow out of who u are!  An apple tree doesn't have to work to produce apples. It is only natural for it to produce apples. 

The same is with the sons of God. If u were created with gifts to be a farmer, you love farming and u rejoice in the harvest produced, and the people that are provided for. 

The same is true of the businessman or carpenter, etc. It is time for the body of Christ to discover their identity and begin to move in their gifts and anointing!
