TO BE CHANGED
"[…] God placed us within His economy, endowing us with His resources to administrate the mystery revealed in Christ for the FUNCTIONING of His government. For this purpose, sons of God are made ministers, administrators of the mystery!"
After having a face-to-face encounter with Christ, Apostle Paul still said that he was made a minister. On several occasions, he mentioned the fact that he had learned. This implies that to be made a minister, there are things that we are to learn. Sons of God are made ministers (Colossians 16: 15-16), and this making process means that there is a predisposition of the heart required to go through a learning process to come to the experience of Christ — the encounter with His life within. We should have an experiential understanding of what it means to be a prisoner of Christ, to herald the Gospel. In our LIBERTY in Christ, we have the great responsibility to take quality time to minister the mysteries revealed in Christ and be His living witnesses in our spheres of influence so that all men come to the understanding of what was provided in Christ. This should be our reason for living — to make Christ known, visible. Grace frees us from all excuses to be efficient ministers in God's government who see the way He sees and respond the way He does. We respond to the flow of Life so that Christ is formed in us. We receive the excellence of His knowledge for the sake of administering it to others.
In this excerpt, Dr. Annie Smith reminds us of our duty in our stewardship as ministers. This exhorts us not to live as if there is nothing attached to the liberty that we've received from Christ. She encourages us to value our calling as ministers, and to carry it out by proclaiming this wonderful Gospel of Life everywhere we go.
