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 39 letter:
Text for the day: Ephesians 2:10 (New International Version)
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Our Theme for the day: The lessons from the bee keeper (Part 2).
Today if you have just joined us, we are looking at part two of lessons from the bee keeper. Yesterday I asked, if you remember these questions, “what spiritual, and civil lesson can learn from the care of bees that can help those who are leaders over a church, or community program directors?” “That can bring better service to the areas they serve.”
1. Like I asked my friend (Mike) questions about the how to and how not to care for bees, and how can I help them make the best honey. As servants of God you should never be afraid to ask questions, as servants in leadership you don’t have all the answers.
2. There was a time when beekeeping was more of a hobby than a commercial industry. We are living in a time of value for money, and there is nothing wrong with that, but as leaders or servants of God you need to lean to enjoy yourselves in the things you are called to do. Like a hobby you should always look for the next moment to serve.
3. Passion is very important in ministry, like the bee keeper remember, you do not come into ministry with it, but you will grow into it.
4. Like the bee keepers cultivates plants that will attract bees to his bee garden. As servants of God you need to help other people with gifts to work with you in the ministry for others. By doing this you will attract those who do not know Jesus, or have falling from Jesus to your place of ministry.
5. As the bee keeper looks for ways to provide pollen and nectar resources to the bees on a seasonal base, the servant of God should look for ways to provide service to their church, work place, schools, or help center on a seasonal bases also.
6. Like the bee keeper improves bee visitation in their garden by large patches of like flowers planted in close proximity to one another, the servants of God should work toward well attended meetings, or services held as often as possible.
7. Diversity is the key, and nothing less then ten or more species of plants with followers are recommended in attracting bees and a key factor in keeping bee keepers in business. Every good ministry will have nothing less then ten ways of which it offers ministry to its community.
8. Like the bee keeper looks to keep their ground free of pesticides less they kill their bees and destroy their hives. The servants of God should always keep their ministry free from the methods or pesticides of the world. They will is
9. And finally, location is important for a good bee hive as well as a place of ministry, so choose it well in your community.
