Ministries and ministers

SUMMARY: The church needs more humble ministers who are willing to serve and obey God's will. Humility is not just a Christian trait and it is inconceivable for a Christian to be arrogant and proud. Some people practice humility only for recognition and admiration, but true humility requires renunciation, self-denial, and sacrifice for others. Altruism is essential for Christians and their behavior and attitudes towards others define their values and personal testimony. The example of Christ in his humility and exaltation is a pillar of Christian life for faithful stewards who wish to glorify God through their ministry.

I personally believe that the church of Christ needs more the action of good ministers than good and many ministries. Especially humble ministers. From the biblical point of view, the minister is one who disposes his heart to service in response to God's instructions to carry out his will. Minister is not only the pastor, but also the simplest sister who serves in the church in any of its ministries.

Much is said about humility, but there are not many who embody it biblically. A certain dose of piety and solidarity towards others from time to time is not enough. There are many people out there who have not had an experience with Christ and yet are known for their simplicity and sacrificial dedication to the service of others without expecting anything in return. So humility is not the exclusive heritage of Christians. That is why it is inconceivable for a Christian to be arrogant and proud. Presumption and haughtiness of spirit make a perfect marriage with deification. "For the Lord is exalted, And cares for the humble, But he knows the proud from afar" (Ps 138.6) What is deification? It is to assume the role that only corresponds to God. Its characteristics are disastrous and leave indelible marks on the life of the church.
