^ Minister of God (Submits!)

God led me to verse...

2 Corinthians 6
1We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
3Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
4But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
6By pureness, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
7By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
9As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
10As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

When i saw this, i saw it as some "checklist" for self evaluation. As these are all things that approves us as minister of God. As i was reading this, many things occurred in my mind. But as a minister of God, in much patience- caught my attention. But as I was doing my things at work today, I also felt the word 'Submit'. Along with that, what Joshua msged me yesterday was resounding in my head.

Background story
I've been quite impatient with my superior. And felt frustrated easily. Yes, I've some problems submitting to my superior. Somehow or another. So i decided to step out and initiate a chat with him. -Applications-Applications- I told him that I wanted to support him and I didn't know how to. And was asking if I was hindering his leadership. I thank God that it went well. He thanked me for initiating the conversation. Now I know my position and role. There's clarification. I was also will be an effective minister as I'm learning to be patient at all times. Another thing that just struck me: My battle is NOT against FLESH AND BLOOD.


The rest of the "checklist" is rather quite profound. So I'll be meditating on them.
