ALL CHRISTIANS ALREADY HAVE THEIR OWN MINISTRY.
Unfortunately, PARASITES have been traditionally infiltrating all religions, but especially infiltrating Christianity. Christians do not defend themselves much. Can you recognize them? Our Lord told us, “You shall know them by their fruits”. Unfortunately, when you see them on TV, you don’t see their fruits. They are our enemies and enemies of our Faith.
No doubt, you have already listened to shrieking “Pastors” promising you riches if you send your money for their “ministry”. No? Some even urge you to borrow and charge it to your credit card, if you don’t have money.
What is their most frequent hallmark, their great wailing cry and fishing technique?
They incessantly preach, “PLANT A SEED AND GOD WILL GIVE YOU A BIG HARVEST”, meaning “Give ME your money and God will repay you a great fortune”.
The seed which they preach is always MONEY. This seed, your MONEY, is always payable to themselves, to the false preachers. Never to anyone inside your own needy family, never to your favorite charity, only to the false preacher.
They will tell you fairytales (lies) about how many people are getting rich, after planting a hefty SEED of money to them personally. “The more you plant, the greater the harvest”.
Every real Christian has already his own ministry.
When you hear the above, it is a perfect time to reply, “You want money? Then you give ME $100, or $ 1000, for MY ministry for the Lord, as YOUR seed now, and wait for God to give you your great harvest. This way you will have the big money you preach.”
Where in Gods Bible is money a seed? By seed the scripture refers to offspring, to children. Here, by context, by SEED is meant to share the WORD of God, to teach about salvation, about love and about law.
There are other methods they can use to rob you. But the above is their number one approach, especially for a short time, used by disappearing or remote (TV) preachers. When you come back demanding, “How come it didn’t work?” they are already gone. If by a miracle you catch them, they will say “You did not have enough faith”, then they are gone. With your money.
Here are some suggestions to enrich or expand your own personal ministry.
Even if you are still unaware, you already have a ministry of your own for God. That is, provided you love HIM, because He truly loves you. God suffered for you. He is your greatest, incredible wonderful treasure.
START WITH THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU
There are so many needs and relationships which always confront every one of us. The first task before us is to clean up our relationship with others. Especially with other Christians. This constitutes a real and essential ministry in our Faith.
How do you address your family and friends? Are you gentle and loving? Do you show them (by actions) that you care? Ask God to help you. But this area MUST BE CLEANED UP. It is a beginning of your ministry. It is important.
SOME GIVE OUT CHICK 17 cents BOOKLETS
Tiny, comic format, booklets are available from CHICK PUBLICATIONS, Ontario, Ca. 909 987 0771. Each one has, in comic form, a biblical story and invitation to invite Christ Jesus. Many of these are very effective. For 1 Dollar you can buy about 6 or 7 of these and give them out, or leave them around in bathrooms, waiting rooms, restaurants, etc.
This constitutes a real ministry. Try it.
SOME ARE SENDING BIBLE VERSES via cell phone.
If you have many contacts, you can send a Biblical Verse to all daily. If you can, try to visit some of these remote friends repeatedly with a small gift. After a while they will be waiting for you.
FINANCIAL HELP TO OTHER CHRISTIANS IN EMERGENCIES
This help is best restricted to other Christians. Pagans tend to take from you and still hate you.
Sometimes even small efforts to help another Christian can be very useful and effective.
TRY TO ORGANIZE A SMALL, IN HOUSE, BIBLE STUDY.
Start with a weekly Bible Study – with your family, friends and neighbors to start. The BIBLE study should always be the heart of any “service”, of any “church”. Avoid all concerts and “church” theatrics.
Avoid all rituals, concerts and ceremonies.
Avoid mutilated Bibles. See http://articles.faithwriters.com/reprint-article-details.php?article=40874

Becoming a Christian is only when you invite Christ Jesus to be the ruler of your life, and mean it. Only GOD is God. If you don’t want Him, His will and Authority, you won’t have Him at all. To belong to Christ is the main object of all ministry and the only SALVATION available.
Christianity is not a religion. It has no rituals, no traditions of man, no man’s observances. IT HAS ONLY CHRIST JESUS AND GODS WORD (UNCORRUPTED BIBLE). That’s all. But it always has REAL, VISIBLE WORKS.
