Introduction
The biblical culture of the church is the atmosphere in which its ministers exist. Culture arises from their experience in ministry and preaching, teaching faith and confession as part of the Christian’s journey. Culture begins with ministers and missionaries, who must also learn to come to God and open their hearts to the love of Christ. Christ has committed us to love him and our neighbor, and we must carry that message.
Church leaders take responsibility for leading missionaries to the truth of theology and developing a personal ministry practice. Church ministers can sincerely believe and deliver their sermons, but they will still be ineffective. Expanding the kingdom of Christ under these conditions is impossible, so I want to commit to developing a culture of growth for ministers and missionaries. It will not be easy, but I want to do it because it is by teaching others that one learns and grows oneself. I plan to draw on Scripture and Timothy 2:2 to show how teaching shapes the will of Christ.
Spiritual Teaching Practices
Sowing Seeds That Advance the Kingdom of Christ
First, I want to address the practice of sowing the seeds of good fruit that would elevate and expand the kingdom of Christ. The laws of life are built on the continual reproduction of the new, the better, and the unique, and with new seeds, Christ’s prosperity can be achieved. These seeds must be built on kindness and generosity as the primary elements of faith. In my practice, I will show how these elements contribute to religious development.
I will teach people to seek ways to do good, to share generously, and to build relationships. This will lead us to the expansion of Christ’s kingdom because it will ensure the development of major religious dogmas. This development should be understood as an opportunity to redefine the Gospel and gain a deeper understanding of the principles of faith. Great results can be achieved by fostering a sense of community, love for one another, and the ability to learn and teach others.
Sharing Personal Revelations and Testimonies with the Congregation
The second helpful practice I see is a revelation with my listeners and sharing my stories among the congregation. Revelation is the witness that “no one is perfect, and no one is without sin” (Romans 3:10). Revelation will enable everyone to accept their sins, recognize the unity by which Christians are held together, and carry this message into their communities. Christ’s kingdom will grow because each person will find in the Revelation himself or herself and bring more sincerity into daily practice. By promoting sincerity, I will be able to show the culture of the church and prove to doubters that we are all similar people and that uniting through experience is our chance of salvation.
Teaching the Importance and Practice of Forgiveness
My third practice would be the most difficult, but one of the most important: teaching to forgive. Many see the concept of forgiveness as a personal affront and a clash of interests with the community. I want to teach the congregation to forgive and to believe in the holiness of forgiveness, which will change their hearts and make them attractive to the Holy Spirit.
“God in Christ has forgiven us” is an important reminder to the congregation, and since God has proven to be able to forgive despite his status, breaking this covenant is not permissible (Ephesians 4:32). Christ’s kingdom must be genuine and only those who can forgive will be able to maintain it, so I believe this practice will help increase the congregation. Their understanding of the concept of forgiveness will change the attitude of the congregation, allowing them to spread Christ’s teaching of forgiveness.
Guiding Others in Prayer and Emphasizing Its Spiritual Value
Not long ago, I came to understand prayer and its value. Now, I think prayer is the way to strengthen Christ’s kingdom and lay the foundation for its expansion. So, my fourth practice will be teaching prayer and indicating its value. Through prayer, we seek Christ in our hearts and the world and desperately wait for him to come down and understand us.
I will teach us to pray not for ourselves, but for others – those wretched and lost who cannot be saved without our help. While they are lost, they will not realize that through our prayers, their souls will be saved and the kingdom of Christ will grow. As they find salvation, they will also realize and remember us; in the end, all our efforts will pay off. I will also be reminded to pray for myself, but it is praying for others, asking Christ to remember his children.
Upholding the Covenant Through Scriptural Teaching and Communal Reading
Finally, in my ministry, I want to follow the covenant of teaching the church books and reading the Bible and the Gospel together. Reading together is a common practice through which unity is learned and faith is strengthened. I think it will help unite the congregation and make it whole and strong to spread the message. Of course, we can also approach it financially and sell books.
Still, we cannot increase the Kingdom of God only financially. Spreading the Teachings will be good and effective if one realizes the value of the covenants and understands that one will attain enlightenment through the teachings. I am also confident that the practice of the readings will enable the doubters to find answers to questions and the confidence to be convinced of their rightness and to discover the Scriptures for themselves from a new perspective.
To be called to believe in God, to know His idea, and to seek to accept His whole will is a difficult task, requiring an unquestioning adherence to Scripture. I will extend this thought to my practice as Scripture teaches us patience, love, and faith. Doing God’s will is the work of any minister or missionary and is an art to be learned and practiced in all its aspects.
Doing God’s will is a complex process that changes how we think about ourselves and our society, creating a new reality in which we have to face the consequences of sin. By working in the harvest field, God has created and continually increases its impact on us; we can achieve a saturation of our hearts and souls with religion, thereby modeling a community of believing sinners eternally seeking redemption.
Fulfilling the Great Commission
The Great Commission is the source of the power, love, and wisdom that Jesus Christ put into the Twelve followers, who spread it to all Christians. The commission becomes the polar star we must follow to find peace and rest in a sin-torn soul. We are designated as those who must believe in ourselves and lead others along this challenging path. According to Timothy 2:2, passing on the Doctrine of Christ is sacred.
Passing on the Doctrine and finding followers will build faith in God in the community and make it solid and enduring. Our job is to teach followers the Gospel and how and why to fulfill the commission. This is so that the world does not lose faith in the value of the Great Commission, and we continue to evangelize and teach ourselves in parallel. Our responsibility is to involve as many lay people as possible in the harvest and reap its benefits for years. The fruit will be of great value to us because you will give them a sense of holiness and a Genesis in which God invisibly watches over us.
Personal faith is a significant element in attaining salvation and eternal life as outlined in the Gospel and Scripture. The Gospel is the good news, and I must train my parishioners to spread it only so the Great Commission can be fulfilled. Making and making disciples is at the forefront of Christ’s commission: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:16-20). It was Christ’s will that without disciples, the faith would dry up, and only by uniting all nations and laying the foundation in training can the Higher purpose be attained.
To convert my people to the fulfillment of the Great Commission, I will tirelessly remind them of how Jesus trained his disciples. It took place in the ministry in the real world, was active, and passive believers are essentially as ungrateful to Christ as those who don’t believe. Jesus’ instructions are eternal, will never remain or be forgotten, and he will watch over how the church inducts the laity.
Those who are converted often cannot immediately grasp and imagine the Gospel and its value. By taking the Great Commandment through them, I will be able to show them how the Gospel can become their companion in wisdom, reason, and peace of heart. The Great Commandment teaches everyone to love Christ with every part of their soul (Matthew 22:35-40). Loving God guarantees spiritual release, growth, and relentless perfection.
I will teach the congregation that the central core of faith and religion forms us as Christians and followers of Christ. The commandments cannot be broken because otherwise, we will lose respect for ourselves, and God will not be pleased with us. As one carries the commandments through one’s soul, one realizes the relationship between the community and Christ. Moreover, being united in the congregation will facilitate the establishment of the kingdom of God and increase the effectiveness of the teaching preached in the church.
Conclusion
Calling people to believe in God is insufficient to maintain faith and spread the Doctrine worldwide. Faith must be sincere, honest, and from the heart, so faith appeals must be structured and constructive. I plan to base my practice on the Great Commission, the Great Commandment, and my worldview to guide my followers. My relationship with God and my preaching will be the sources of my wisdom. It will enable me to draw people in, enlighten them, and teach them. Teaching others and myself will be a big part of my ministry. It is probably the most critical element in fulfilling the commission. My practice will be complete and all-focused, providing a call to faith, to be aware of the Gospel and Scripture, and ultimately to embrace faith in my heart.
