Ministry is about serving God by serving people.

Ministry is stressless when done as an overflow of fellowship with God. To be effective ministers, we must first of all receive insights and revelations from God and His Word which we can serve to those we minister to.

God instructed Ezekiel to first ‘eat His word’ before proceeding to proclaim it to others.

“Moreover He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”
Ezekiel 3:1 NKJV

So if you are experiencing too much stress ministering to people, it is possible that your spiritual reserve is low; you need to fuel up.

Get back to the place of fellowship; get back to praying and reading your bible, then you will minister effortlessly as you draw from God.

Grace is in aboundance in the place of fellowship…

One way to avoid judging anyone is to sometimes choose to be a fool for Christ’ sake. If someone creates room to receive feedback or constructive criticism of their actions or lifestyle, take it and deliver your opinion in a most respectful manner. If no such system exists, trust Jesus to handle it.
