Ministry Minded Decision Making
Pastor Wesley & Yajhna Sing · 2 min read
“Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent and cultured man, and well versed in the [Hebrew] Scriptures. This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and being spiritually impassioned, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things about Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John; and he began to speak boldly and fearlessly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained more accurately to him the way of God [and the full story of the life of Christ]. And when Apollos wanted to go across to Achaia (southern Greece), the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples, [urging them] to welcome him gladly.”
Priscilla and Aquila were disciples of Paul who ministered alongside him and were in the same trade as him. They were so committed to ministry that every decision they made was centered around ministry. Even their work life was around the place where they ministered. In the above scripture they were so engrossed in ministry that they immediately noticed a man who was so committed to God yet he was not very skilled in the word of truth. They walked alongside him and taught him correctly in the way of the Lord and then sent him off to win souls for the kingdom of God. In doing this, they developed another member of the team to go and work in the kingdom of God. More souls were touched in this way.
Like Aquila and Priscilla let us be more ministry minded in our decision making so the plan of God for his kingdom is fulfilled.
