Pastor’s Pen for Sunday, 10-19-25
1 Corinthians 12:28 (KJV): 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. The ministry of helps is a supernatural ministry listed among things such as miracles and healings. It is a “gift” from God set in the Church like a concrete pillar to hold things up. Eph. 4:11, 12 (KJV): 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, hprophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. Christians who are maturing and growing in the Lord will exhibit three qualities of assistance. They will build up and add to the welfare of God’s family, the Church. They will learn to minister, to help or serve, others. Then finally, they will help the Pastor and not hinder him. The ministry of helps is a supernatural ministry set in the Church by God to help bring to pass the vision or goal God gave the Pastor. The simple definition of helps is “one who gives assistance to the weak and needy.” God never intended for any Believer to be a pew warmer week after week. He put you in your Church to help. Where people do not help, the body of Christ is weak. The Church is made stronger when you are strong in the ministry of helps toward others. The Church is weak when everyone looks at a problem and says, “I wish someone would do something about that.” 1 Corinthians 12:18, 26, 27 (KJV): 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. Everyone in the body of Christ is an integral part in bringing the vision to pass that God have given the Pastor. God have equipped the Church with the ministry gifts necessary to bring the vision to pass and complete the great commission that God have given the Church.
