Exercise your ministry (Every Christian has and is a ministry.)

A ministry is a holy place of service. The ministry is not the self. The ministry is the living Christ in you. Your ministry is your personal cross that you take up when you follow Jesus. It is the power of God flowing out through you.

Exercise your ministry in your home.  The home is the first place for ministry.  Build up every member of your home.  The home should be a place of comfort, encouragement, and edification.  Husbands need to love their wives by allowing the love of God to be shed abroad in their hearts by the Holy Ghost.  Wives need to reverence their husbands have been set in an office of authority and responsibility in the home.  Children need to reverence their parents because they can see that their parents have been set by God into that office of authority and responsibility.  Parents need to be careful not to frustrate their children but rather comfort them, encourage them, and build them up.  

Exercise your ministry in your church.  The Church service should look like 1 Corinthians 14.  The gifts should  be operative as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12.  Hebrews 13:7 "Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken to you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation."  When you minister in the Spirit in the local church service, you are built up in the Spirit even as you help to build the body of Christ.  The local churches submit to the government of the traveling ministries.  1 Timothy 1:3-4 

Exercise your ministry at work, when you're shopping, and in every situation.
