Ministering Disciples of Salt and Light - Discipleship

So often when we hear the word 'minister' it conjures up images of a person in some or other clothing of the clergy, or who carries a fancy title in the church. The truth is, the concept of a minister has become distorted for hundreds of years. We are all called to administer the Gospel as ministers of the Kingdom. We are all called to be active in the Kingdom of God, fulfilling the Great Commission. Therefore, as disciples, we are all ministers in the Kingdom of God. We are His ambassadors, shining His light and being the salt of the earth. We are all called to be disciples of God, and we all have a calling and have been empowered with gifts and abilities to establish the Kingdom of God in the hearts of men. We are all, and not a few, called to 'minister' in accordance with the Great Commission, within various functions as the royal priesthood. Today, we sadly sit with so many inactive disciples because of wrong teachings, thus disciples who believe they are not called to minister at all! It is time for all disciples to become true servants worth the salt and light in our corporate effort to proclaim the Good News far and wide so that God may be glorified and the lost saved.
