GREETINGS FROM THE TEMPLE …

“Submerge Your Energy” 

Over the past week the news media has been covering the story of five people killed when their submersible vessel imploded in the ocean while attempting to view the wreckage of the Titanic ship which sank more than a hundred years ago in the North Atlantic Ocean. Pastor Brice spoke about this tragedy relative to a storm brewing out in the ocean and it’s moving this way.

“You may not see it coming, but it’s coming.” – Pastor Victor S. Brice

The Devil is always at work and will strike without warning. Therefore, we must remain covered – we must submerge ourselves in the Word of God. So far, I’ve used the word submerse (submersible) and the word submerge. Time to clarify their meaning. To submerse is to go below the surface of water (therefore the explorers were in a submersible vessel). To submerge yourself is to put all your effort into doing a particular activity – taking part and getting involved.

Pastor Brice has been teaching a series on “Energy for Ministry”.  Let’s pull this all together. Let’s submerge our energy into this ministry. Let’s get involved (take part) in our church ministry. It does not have to be anything huge – a hundred small parts can make a large engine run smoothly. Do your part, large or small, and watch how our church ministry flows and grows.    “How may I help?”   “How am I needed?”

Note: I can almost hear Pastor Brice saying, “I’m glad you asked.” 

We are most comfortable doing things that we love – things we have experience in – things (by the grace of God) we are gifted in. Using your energy for this ministry is all on you. It does not have to be anything elaborate or arduous nor is there an age limit.  i.e., A high school student gifted in praise dancing – can teach the younger students how to praise dance…or help the younger students with their Bible reading…schoolteachers – can use their expertise in children’s church…we can all use our energy to keep our church campus clean.

“There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.” – 1 Corinthians 12:5 (NIV).

Now, back to submerge. When we submerge ourselves in love; love the Lord – love His Word – love yourself – love your neighbor – your energy for ministry will flourish as you serve the Lord and others. Submerge your energy in Solomon Temple Ministry.

“You gotta’ have energy for ministry – the rest will take care of itself.” – Pastor Victor S. Brice
