The call to be established for servant-hood

Welcome to Garden Ministry, where the soil of the mind is broken up, fertilized, and made ready for the toiling of the Holy Spirit.

Garden Ministry’s purpose is to encourage the workers in the field of the Lord, and to keep them looking up to Jesus.

This is the 15th letter:

Text for the day: 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.

Our Theme for the day: The call to be established for servant-hood


As I have been observing for the last year and a half the needs of the community’s, I have seen that in order for the people of God to become more current in ministry in this age, they will need to make some big changes. It is also clear, not all love change, but change most happen if we are moving ahead. In these days most people when they hear the word change they run from it, but change within it’s self, is not bad if it’s with the right motive. Today the cry is going froth, we need godly men and woman, leaders, and servant providers who are community minded, and practically educated to lead mankind into a love for God and there neighbour. This valuable insight into the practical needs of the world will better help all who are called to serve. There is nothing that the world needs so much as knowledge of the gospel's saving power revealed in Christ like lives through acts of community service. This is clearly seen in the books of the four gospels where we see, for three and a half years the disciples had before them the wonderful example of Jesus. Day by day they walked and talked with Him, hearing His words of cheer to the weary and heavy-laden, and seeing the manifestations of His power in behalf of the sick and afflicted. When the time came for Him to leave them, He gave them grace and power to carry forward His work in His name. They were to shed abroad the light of His gospel through acts of love and healing. This work which the disciples did, we also are called to do. Every Child of God is called to be a servant in sympathy and compassion; we are to minister to those in need of help in good times and bad time. The Saviour identifies Himself with every child of humanity and came to help them all, rich and poor, black and white, free and bound. So it is today God calls upon His followers not to feel themselves detached from the perishing world around them, but to do their part in the community and church, and seek them, and lead them, to life eternal only found in Jesus Christ. We are all apart of the great web of humanity, and heaven looks upon us as brothers to sinners as well as to saints. God has blessed you if you’re reading this, and to all that He has given you, it makes only a advantage over another be it education, refinement, nobility of character, Christian training, and religious experience, that we are in debt to those less favored; and, so far as lies in our power, we are to minister unto them. In closing, he who becomes a child of God should henceforth look upon himself as a link in the chain let down to save the world, one with Christ in His plan of mercy, going forth with Him to seek and save the lost. This week-end let us find someway of which we can unite our community’s, and look to be prepared for further service in the Lord. Don’t Give Up. Look Up!

Our Prayer for today:
