2. MINISTRY TO OURSELVES
As we minister to God He will always respond and minister to us.
A relationship is always two-way. But we are also called to
minister to ourselves, nourishing and feeding ourselves so that we
might grow in Him (1 Peter 2:2; Ephesians 4:13-15). We can only
truly love our neighbour, whether in the Church or in the world, as
we love ourselves (Matthew 22:39). We need to:
let the word of God take root in our lives (Colossians 3:16;
James 1:21).
''As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you,
O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go
and meet with God? . . . Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why
so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise
him, my Saviour and my God'' Psalm 42:1-2,11.
" . . as members of one body . . . let the word of Christ dwell in you
richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and
as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in
your hearts to God'' Colossians 3: 15-16 (see also Ephesians 5:1819).
''He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the good news
to all creation. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In
my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new
tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and if they
drink deadly, poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place
their hands on sick people, and they will get well' " Mark 16:15,1718.
holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation
through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is
useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in
righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped
for every good work'' 2 Timothy 2:15;3:14 -17 (see also Ephesians
4:11-12).
