Take Heed To Your Ministry

"And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it."  Colossians 4:17.  We sometimes send a message to someone through another person.  Such is the case in this passage.  Archippus had a responsibility to the ministry which he had received.  A message is sent for him to complete that ministry.  God has given unto all those who choose to follow Him a ministry.  There is a work that we have been given.  Various ministries are received from the Lord.  Our work is to do that ministry.  The Lord's cause depends upon each one fulfilling his work in the kingdom of our Lord.  Ministry is vital to the salvation of humanity.  God uses human vessels to go forth and perform His work.  God's ministry must not be taken lightly.  The ministry of God is the most serious work that one can do.  If we fail to fulfill our ministry, then we have failed God.  We also harm ourselves and those who are dependent upon us.  The world needs our efforts.  The kingdom of God needs our work.  We must not excuse ourselves from our ministry.  God enables us all to do His work.  Let us take heed unto ourselves that we fulfill the ministry that we have received from the Lord.
