This Is What You Must Do To Have An Effective Ministry

Romans 12:2 Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, so that you may judge what is God’s will, what is good, pleasing and perfect.

About a year ago I was praying one day and got a sentence pretty clear. 

This is what you must do to have an effective ministry.

 Being a fairly normal man, I blew it off. The next day I was praying again and same thing.

This is what you must do to have an effective ministry.

Now, it is curious. But still I kind of blow it off. Third day I decide to pray again.

This is what you must do to have an effective ministry.

Now, I think this is really cool. God's thinks I have a ministry. But what is that ministry? it doesn't really matter what it is just that fact that I have one is comforting. I guess we all have one but it is nice to hear.

But what is, this, that I must do? I spent a few day meditating and praying on this one. It dawned on me that I had been having a feeling that I needed to be forming myself more, I needed to be more knowledgeable of my faith. 

A few days later I found out that the time for applying to the diaconate was now. Well, that would certainly help me become more knowledgeable. And, I had considered becoming a deacon off and on for many years. So, the time seemed right, I applied, was accepted and have now started the formation process.

Please pray for me that I may know what is God's will for my life. I will also pray for you to know God's will in your lives.
