Membership not Ministry

In Luke 10 Jesus sent out seventy of his disciples to preach, teach and heal the sick. When they returned they were overjoyed in the fact that even demons were subject to their ministry. Jesus rejoiced at the idea that the kingdom was being established and of the miracles and healings that took place. However, He cautioned them not to be excited that they had performed great miracles for God, but to be glad that their names were written down in Heaven! I believe that Jesus is the same yesterday and today and forever. Membership, relationship with Jesus is far more important than anything we can "do for Jesus". Once we get into the right place with God, all things are possible. The focus is always on Him, not on our so called ability. Remember sometimes God is in the still small voice. Listen, stop talking so much and learn to discern the voice and urgings of the Spirit. Once we have membership, or relationship right, then we will begin to see the dynamic ministry! Lord teach us to sit and learn and listen. Relationship, not religon and membership, not ministry should be our focus. Let's enjoy the fellowship.
