Doing Ministry As Jesus Did

"And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people." Matthew 4:23 NKJV

Jesus went about teaching, preaching and healing. You see, one without the other is incomplete! But what do a lot of us do today? We are teaching and preaching, and motivating people, but not healing sicknesses and diseases. That's not what Jesus did; why then are we not ministering like Him.

I'm not referring to only pastors here; I'm talking to every child of God: when you go out for evangelism do you heal the sick? Jesus' instructions were quite clear: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. And these signs will follow those who believe: in My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Mark 16:15, 17-18)

You've got to determine to do ministry as Jesus did. Ministry is actually a lot easier when we minister with the power of God. The earnest of the creature await the manifestation of the sons of God.
