There is a principle that can be applied to our work in the ministry that will insure greater effectiveness and longer lasting results in the lives of people:

Join God in what He is already doing.

“For we are laborers together with God…” (1 Corinthians 3:9)

God is always at work around us and actively doing things in peoples lives. Even in terms of judgment where we have violated divine laws and are reaping certain consequences of our actions, it is still His sovereign hand trying to lead us back to Him.

As pertains to the ministry and helping others, He invites us to become involved in what He is presently doing. Our primary task should be to discern what He is doing and has already initiated (individually, corporately, regionally, and even globally) and join Him there.

“…the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do…” (John 5:19)
