Your Ministry

Your Ministry: Pastor Leong Chik Kee

Pastor Leong’s entire sermon was based on two key statements which form the foundation of our ministry for the Lord.

(A) God is more interested in our character formation than our ministry for Him.

(B) Ministry must be a natural outflow of our intimate walk with God.

The main point of the message is that even though church ministry is important and good, our number one priority must always be our relationship with God. The danger is that we become so busy in our various activities and ministries in church that we substitute it for intimacy with God.

FGA encourages a one man one ministry focus, although in some cases, one leader may have two main ministries.

In Jesus’ ministry, He always took time to be alone and have communion with God. The whole source of power for His ministry were these moments of being with God. This brings to mind, Jesus’ words to some who said “Didn’t we do this and that in Your name.”. He said, “I never knew you.” Do we take time to know Jesus?

If we make spending time with God our priority, our ministry will be a natural outflow of our walk with God. Our ministry is no longer confined to church, but a lifelong ministry, where there is no retirement! Wherever we go, we will bring Christ’s love and kindness. Whenever the opportunity arises, we will do good! This is the aim we must go for!

Another reminder Pastor Leong gave was to consider our heart in any church ministry we are in. God looks at the heart, and He cherishes a servant’s heart. Therefore we must make sure pride does not cloud our eyes. In Paul’s letter to the Philippians, just such a thing had happened, when Euodia and Syntyche, two leaders in the church had become embittered with each other and caused disunity. We must remember to in humility, consider others better than ourselves and do nothing out of selfish ambition and vain conceit.

God bless,
