There are two kinds of ministry as follows:
- The ministry in the field in the daytime, namely sowing and shepherding.
- Sowing means providing the good ground of heart or good conscience that is sown by one kind of seed only.
Leviticus19:19
19:19 ' You shall keep My statutes. You shall not let your livestock breed with another kind. You shall not sow your field with mixed seed. Nor shall a garment of mixed linen and wool come upon you.
It begins from the water baptism so that we get the new life or the good conscience. We must be filled by the one true teaching Word as follows:- Being written in the Bible.
- Being spoken by Jesus Himself or revealed through a verse that explains other verses in the Bible.
- Being dare to reveal the true marriage and ordination.
- Being written in the Bible.
- Shepherding.
Only the pastor who has the good conscience is able to shepherd the sheep well and correctly as follows:- Feeding the sheep with the repeated true teaching Word.
- Lifting up the intercession prayer, so the sheep are protected, preserved, and guarded by the Great Shepherd.
- Paying attention to the sheep that need physically.
- Always dwelling in the sheepfold or the Holy Place, namely the perseverance in committing the three main services to God.
- Being able to consume the shepherding Word until getting the spiritual growth and being mature spiritually, perfect, and flawless.
- Feeding the sheep with the repeated true teaching Word.
- Sowing means providing the good ground of heart or good conscience that is sown by one kind of seed only.
- The ministry at home in the nighttime. It refers to the ministry on the last days, namely the ministry for edifying the spiritual house or Christ's body.

The facts found in the edification of Christ's body are as follows:- The ministry with girding ourselves with faithfulness and righteousness.

11:5 Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist.
Faithfulness means that we do not want to be hindered until we cannot be hindered.
Righteousness means being according to the Bible or the true teaching Word.
We are giving food and drink to God to satisfy His heart. As a result, the matter of our food and drink will be God's business. He is able to preserve our life. He never deceives us. He is able to satisfy our heart, so we do not need to quarrel or look for the worldly satisfaction. We do not fall in sins.
Revelation19:11
19:11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
Being faithful and righteous, were used in the revival of Holy Spirit at the latter rain or the edification of Christ's body.
Jeremiah2:32
2:32 Can a virgin forget her ornaments, Or a bride her attire? Yet My people have forgotten Me days without number.
The belt refers to the adornment of the bride. It means that our life is being adorned by God to be beautiful and neat. - The ministry without the purpose to get something in return.
Luke17:9
17:9 "Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.
We do not insist any right, namely praise, money, and so on. The ministry is encouraged by the love of God because we love Him.
Ephesians5:25
5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,
The ministry is signified by the sacrifice until sacrificing the soul like Jesus.
Hebrews11:17-19
11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
11:18 of whom it was said, "In Isaac your seed shall be called,"
11:19 concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.
Mark11:2-3
11:2 and He said to them, "Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it.
11:3 "And if anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord has need of it,' and immediately he will send it here."
All things that we sacrifice for God or the edification of Christ's body by the encouragement of the Word, such as time, energy, though, money, and our life, will not vanish away. God is able to return them by the power of resurrection that cannot be defeated or hindered by anything; even the death cannot hinder it. We get the wage up to one hundred fold and the eternal life. - Only doing the duty or serving according to the obligation.
Luke17:10
17:10 "So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.'"
Ecclesiastes12:13
12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man's all.
Our last obligation is fearing the Lord or obeying His commands.
Proverbs8:13
8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.
We hate sins up to lies. We live in holiness, so we are used by God still.
Philippians2:8-11
2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
2:9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,
2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
2:11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
We must be obedient until the flesh does not speak anymore. It is the same as stretching out our hands to God or living in His merciful hands.
John10:27-28
10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
10:28 "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
As a result, God is able to give the guarantee of assurance for preserving our life abundantly in the midst of the difficulties in the world. He is able to give the beautiful successful future life up to the eternal life.
God is able to give the guarantee of assurance to defeat the trinity of Satan. The proof is that the tongue can confess sin to God and others. Being forgiven, do not repeat the sin anymore! We patiently wait for the time of God. He is able to finish all impossible problems.
John14:15-16,23
14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments.
14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever--
14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
God is able to change us from the fleshly man to the spiritual one like Jesus is or to return the image of the Trinity of God.
Ecclesiastes7:29
7:29 Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, But they have sought out many schemes."
We can be honest. Do not seek out many schemes for covering the mistakes! We become the house of prayer. There is nothing impossible for God.
- The ministry with girding ourselves with faithfulness and righteousness.
God blesses you.
