A Heart of Ministry

This sermon text in Matthew 10:28-30 shows how Jesus the man (anointed by the Holy Ghost) exhorts us to come unto Him.  He calls us into labor but not a natural one.  We are all yoked to something and we all labor at something in life.  Is. 10:27 is another reference to this.  It is God’s desire that we labor in the spiritual harvest He has commissioned us to and to lay down our own labors, i.e. exchange that burden for something else.  When we yoke with Him in the anointing-  ministry is easy!

The story is told of Jesus and John the Baptist (his cousin) and the training of the disciples to go out.  We need to seek to work in the anointing and have the heart of ministry, the motive to harvest this region.  Don’t get so wrapped up in life that you can’t see the big picture.  Even Jesus had an “aha”  moment when He recognized His purpose.  Believers have been called, chosen, and ordained for this purpose.  The anointing of the baptism of the Holy Ghost is for the works of this spiritual labor. It will require a different measure of anointing.
