Ministry is a supernatural calling, designed to produce extraordinary results through the power of the Spirit. As such, it requires spiritual fervor, divine purpose, and a continual glow by the Spirit.

The work of ministry was never meant to be ordinary. It is a demonstration of God’s Spirit and power. When you maintain the glow in ministry, even your smallest efforts will yield such incredible impact. Romans 12:11 (AMP) urges us: “Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord.”

Just like the fire in the Tabernacle of the Old Testament, the glow in a minister’s life must never go out. Leviticus 6:13 says, “The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.” The glow is what distinguishes a supernatural ministry from one that is merely functional. It keeps your ministry alive.

To maintain this glow means to stir yourself up in the Spirit consistently and not rely on external factors for motivation but take personal responsibility for your spiritual vitality. One of the indispensable keys to sustaining the glow as a minister is by filling your spiritual atmosphere with prayer because the work of ministry is first to God before it is to people [Jude 1.20]. Every time you pray in the Spirit, you create an atmosphere of power and divine possibility. Join the ISM Ministers’ Prayer Network for such continual spiritual alignment at www.christembassy-ism.org/prayernetwork.

In the same vein, constant meditation on the Word is vital. The Psalmist declares in Psalm 39:3, “My heart grew hot within me, and as I meditated, the fire burned.” The Word of God fuels your spirit, aligns your heart with God’s will, keeps your inner man strong and glowing, and gives clarity and wisdom for ministry. An upgrade in your ministerial knowledge is therefore important. Subscribe to the ISM Online School for continuous ministerial training at www.christembassy-ism.org/subscription. Also, leverage the ISM Digital Library for more enriching resources for ministry at www.christembassy-ism.org/ismdl.

Furthermore, stay aglow by attending ISM programs. Every program organized by the International School of Ministry is a moment of divine impartation and an opportunity to remain spiritually vibrant for the work of ministry. Get ready for another time of spiritual upgrade at the 2025 ISM Cell Leaders’ Congress, happening in September.

We are in the final hour of the Church age, and this is the year that the whole work of the Kingdom is involved. We must continually maintain the Glow to stay spiritually vibrant and effective in ministry. As you do, you would watch your ministry thrive so much so that it will be marked by eternal impact and the supernatural results that only God can bring.
