God rescues, recovers and restores so everyone will be a minister of God…
“You will be called priests of the Lord, ministers of our God. You will feed on the treasures of the nations and boast in their riches.”
If you work in a church, you are not a minister and everyone else is a lay person.
Everyone is a minister in God’s sight.
This is not a “do away with church leadership” treatise. This is a “don’t think you are something special and therefore treat people poorly” treatise.
When ministers think they are the special ones they start treating people as if they are second class church citizens. And this should never be.
Instead, you are a minister also healed by God’s grace and salvation. You now lead others to this healing and how they can now lead others to this healing.
Everyone you serve has a Kingdom assignment. Help them find and execute their assignment.
