2 Timothy4:5 :" Butwatch thou inall things,endure afflictions,dothe workof an Evangelist,make full
proof of yourministry."
In the epistle,Paul the apostle oftenencourageshisreaderstofulfill theirministryeigCol.4:17.Inhis
lettertohisson Timothy,he giveshimthree keystoasuccessful ministry.
2. Key1: Watch thouin all things.Jesussaidwe mustwatchand pray
(Matt. 26 :41) . Tismeansthere isno room forslumberorresting.we mustbe alert.The bible says,"be
sober,be vigilant;because youradversarythe devil,asa roaringlion,walkethaboutseekingwhomhe
may devour"
(1 Peter5:8). we have to make sure we do not give the devil afootholdinourlives.we mustexamine
ourselvesdailywhetherwe are still inthe faith
(2 Corinthias13:5). we have to live holyandblamelesslivesbecause ourGodisholy.
Key2: Endure afflictions.Persecutionwill alwaysarise because of the workof God.Jesussaid,"inthe
worldyoushall have tribulationbutbe goodcheer;Ihave overcome the world"( John16:37) . This isa
promise of tribulationandaffliction,butwe mustbearitand encourage ourselvessowe can growunto
maturity(James1:4 NIV)
Key3: Do the workof an evangelist.Whateverthe lordhascalledyoutodo , make sure you labourto
fulfillit.Youmightnotbe an evangelist,.Yourministrycouldbe teaching,singingorchurchplanting.
Whateveritis, you must work at it.You musttake itmore seriousthanyou take yoursecularjob.
In the parable of the unfaithful servant(Mathew 24:45-51) , we see a carelessmanwhodidnotfulfill his
call beingthrownwhere there wasweepingandgnashingof teeth!
Beloved, aswe use these three keys,Ipraythe lordwill fortifyourinnermanwithfire sowe can attack
the enemiesof ourcalling.
