Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ!<\/p>\r\n

I welcome you to \u201eDaily Word for Spiritual Edification\u201d! We have been talking about how to enter out ministry. We have established that, first; we have to have a strong desire to serve God with our gifts and talents. We discussed the tact that ministry helps us to discover our potential. We know now that God desires us to be fruitful and glorify Him on earth. Also, every one of us has to find out for himself what he can serve with. The following things as education, experience, gifts and talents and skills can help us in this.<\/p>\r\n

There is something else that we have to learn for ourselves:\u00a0we must learn to think big<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

God\u2019s Kingdom is bigger than just a church; the Kingdom cannot be hidden inside the church walls. The Bible tells us that we are salt to the earth and light to the world. It means that our ministry has to go beyond the boarders of a church and leave an impact on the city, the country and the world. We need to think of how to salt the earth and enlighten the world.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

We should start locally; but we must think globally.\u00a0\u00abYou shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth\u00bb<\/strong><\/em>, – said Jesus in Acts (1: 8). The Kingdom of God can enter a particular territory as a tiny mustard seed that contains the potential of dynamic growth. The seed grows in a very subtle way, but eventually it turns into a big tree and many birds find shelter under its branches. God\u2019s Kingdom is like leaven that leavens the whole dough. And this Kingdom works everywhere you let it in.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

You start your ministry with serving one particular person; at the same time you start thinking big. If you feel a burden of serving to the youth and taking the Kingdom of God into this part of the society, then you shouldn\u2019t just think of the youth in your church (even though you will start with them); you should think about winning the youth of your town for the Lord, of creating a movement that would impact the youth of your country. When you start thinking like that, God will give you a strategy; He will help you out because it is His will.<\/p>\r\n

You have to view every social or professional group as a \u2018nation\u2019 that God has called you to: \u00abGo therefore and make disciples of all the nations<\/strong><\/em>!\u00bb – it is God\u2019s commandment! These nations are our Promised Land that we are called to capture for the Lord.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

But it won\u2019t happen without a fight, because there are giants in the land.\u00a0People of Israel weren\u2019t able to conquer the Promised Land until the giants were cast out and their idols were destroyed. It is impossible to do it without a supernatural help; that is why God promised to be with us.<\/p>\r\n

I would like to point out several important factors:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
