The Source of Spiritual Authority

“And they said to him, ‘By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?’” (Mark 11:28) There lies in the heart of fallen humanity the thirst for power and authority. In the Garden of Eden, our forefathers took the bait of the serpent’s temptation, “eat of this fruit and you will be like God.” This desire for God-like authority and autonomy that led to Satan’s own fall, as well as that of Adam and Eve, still lurks in our flesh apart from Christ....

Act Like a Man

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love” (1 Corinthians 16:13-14) The world is confused as to what a man is and how he should act. On the one hand, the idea of gender “fluidity” seeks to deny any biological objective basis of what constitutes a man or a woman....

Responding to Bad News

“But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, ‘Do not fear, only believe.’” (Mark 5:36) Jesus was on his way to the home of Jairus, whose daughter lay deathly ill, when they received the news that the 12-year-old girl had died. One can imagine the anguish of the father upon receiving this news. His anxious efforts to find and implore Jesus to heal his daughter seemed in vain....

The Bo***ge of Shame

“For the Scripture says, ‘Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.’” (Romans 10:11) Shame entered the human race in the Garden of Eden. Before the Fall of Adam, there was transparent communion between God and man, and between man and woman. After the Fall, relationships were marred and perverted to such an extent that the unhindered love experienced by our ancestors was replaced by distrust, insecurity, and rebellion against God....

Strengthening Souls

“. . . They returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.” (Acts 14:21-22) There is something about encouragement that strengthens the soul. A unique Greek word for “strengthen” in the passage is found only four times in the New Testament, all four times in the Book of Acts....

Nothing but Leaves

“And seeing a fig tree by the wayside, he went to it and found nothing on it but only leaves. And he said to it, ‘May no fruit ever come from you again!’ And the fig tree withered at once.” (Matthew 21:19) Judgement was coming upon unbelieving Israel that refused to embrace the Messiah who was sent for their salvation. Within less than 40 years, Jerusalem and the temple would be destroyed by Roman armies, and the Jews would lose their homeland for hundreds of years....

WHEN YOUR MINISTRY DOES NOT MEASURE UP
H.A. Moldez

How do you know that God is at work in what you are doing in ministry?

The modern way measures the obvious: results that you can count, people added, and programs accomplished. However, can metrics really capture the mystery of grace? Can statistics determine the real work of the Spirit?

Smart plans must be measurable, or so we are told. There is truth to it if what we are doing is determined by quantifiable results. Seeing the fruits of what we do in the Kingdom of God is very encouraging. But oftentimes we don't see clearly the inner work of God in people's hearts. God's work of transformation is usually slow and small, taking time to grow. The work of God is not always seen or counted, especially in the ministry of transformation toward Christlikeness.

Transformation is full of paradox. Jesus said the last will be first. Joy is hidden in sorrow. Small can be big. And not all big events are the work of God. The deep work of the Holy Spirit is usually hidden. The Spirit is shy, except in times of great spiritual revival.

We need to be careful about claiming a "big work for God" when actually God is not there. What is important is not how big our ministry is, but that we are the beloved of God. The Scripture is clear that God does not measure His love by our great performance, but by the person we are, even in our brokenness.

One of the tasks of spiritual work is to open the eyes to see clearly. We are easily blinded by impressive performance meant to "wow" the world. In a success-driven world, it is oftentimes difficult to notice God's work in the humdrum of life. Unless people see beyond what they see, they will not notice the mighty work of God in meekness, His glory being revealed in groaning, and His power in powerlessness. Unless we see God at work—albeit hidden in what appears to be a failure—it is easy to lose heart.

Let us not be discouraged when we don't see many fruits yet. Let us be faithful and do our best. God sees what others don't see about the work we do. God continues the good work He has invited us to participate in, even if the evidence does not appear evident by the world's standards. The work of God is surrounded by mystery. Nothing will be in vain, even the smallest labor of love.

Ponder and Pray:

• How do you feel if your ministry does not measure up to the standard of success?

• Why can't the work of transformation be fully measured by metrics?

• How does being the "beloved" help you to remain faithful in a world obsessed with "doing big"?

• What is your prayer to see the hidden work of God?
