Imago Dei
In the image of God. That is what I desire for my ministry to be. If we are not careful, we begin to create a ministry based on our personal preferences – in our own image. What is visible is me. What should be seen is Jesus. What we do should always be “as unto the Lord” (Colossians 3). Ministry should not just be done in His name with our personal amendments attached but more importantly in the IMAGE of God.
Look at how Jesus did ministry on earth. He set his personal preferences aside and did ministry as God needed it to be done. It was an upside down way of doing ministry according to the “churchy” people of that day. But Jesus and the Father were one. Jesus truly did ministry in the Imago Dei.
Prayer: “Lord, help me to work so that people see you and not me. Your will be done. Amen”
