ARE YOU SERVING GOD OR JUST DOING A JOB? FIND OUT HERE!

[I saw this posted in a wall of the choir loft of a Church. I consider this as a gift. Priceless.]

MINISTRY OR JOB

SOME PEOPLE HAVE A JOB IN THE CHURCH

OTHERS INVITE THEMSELVES IN A MINISTRY

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

IF YOU ARE DOING IT BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WILL, IT’S A JOB;

IF YOU ARE DOING IT TO SERVE THE LORD, IT’S A MINISTRY

IF YOU QUIT BECAUSE SOMEBODY CRITICIZE YOU, IT’S A JOB;

IF YOU KEEP ON SERVING, IT’S A MINISTRY

IF YOU’LL DO IT ONLY AS LONG AS IT DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH YOUR OTHER ACTIVITIES, IT’S A JOB;

IF YOU ARE COMMITTED STAYING WITH IT EVEN IF IT MEANS LETTING GO OF OTHER THINGS, IT’S A MINISTRY

IF YOU QUIT BECAUSE NO ONE PRAISED YOU OR THANKED YOU, IT’S A JOB;

IF YOU STAYED WITH IT EVEN THOUGH NOBODY RECOGNIZED YOUR EFFORTS, IT’S A MINISTRY

IT’S HARD TO GET EXCITED ABOUT A JOB

IT’S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO BE EXCITED ABOUT A MINISTRY

IF YOUR CONCERN IS SUCCESS, IT’S A JOB;

IF YOUR CONCERN IS FAITHFULNESS, IT’S A MINISTRY

AN AVERAGE CHURCH IS FILLED WITH PEOPLE DOING JOBS.

A GREAT AND GROWING CHURCH IS FILLED WITH PEOPLE INVOLVED IN MINISTRY

WHERE DO YOU FIT IN? WHAT ABOUT US?

IF GOD CALLS YOU TO A MINISTRY, DON’T TREAT IT LIKE A JOB.

GOD DOESN'T MAKE US FEEL STUCK WITH A JOB,

BUT EXCITED AND FAITHFUL TO THE LORD IN A MINISTRY.
