“Ministry Through Righteous Hands of fellowship”

“But on the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised (Gentiles), just as Peter had been [entrusted to proclaim the gospel] to the circumcised (Jews); (FOR HE WHO WORKED EFFECTIVELY FOR PETER AND EMPOWERED HIM IN HIS MINISTRY TO THE JEWS ALSO WORKED EFFECTIVELY FOR ME AND EMPOWERED ME IN MY MINISTRY TO THE GENTILES). And recognizing the grace [that God had] bestowed on me, James and Cephas (Peter) and John, who were reputed to be pillars [of the Jerusalem church], GAVE TO ME AND BARNABAS THE RIGHT HAND OF FELLOWSHIP, so that we could go to the Gentiles [with their blessing] and they to the circumcised (Jews).” Galatians 2:7-9 AMP
You are aware that Jesus never had a “click” when He walked on earth, right? He never had a “covenant brother” as it’s so commonly called today. By the way, most of the religious leaders of His day opposed Him, were envious of Him, or, due to fear of what others might think or say if they were to be associated with Him, only came to Him at night.
There is a desperate drive for people to be associated in one form or the other, and I honestly can relate to it. Yet, being in an association has a lot of side attractions, either good or bad. No one should forsake their peace of mind, their mental health, or their ministry for such concerns. In fact, I suspect that only ministers with selfesteem issues are the ones always looking for whom to hang around with, who to validate them, as though those people are God.

A certain kind of minister would mind his business, face his front, and work his job. In due season, if at all it’s needed, your companions will find you, bone for bone, joint for joint. When I talk about companions, I mean people who see you, people who recognize the special grace of God upon your life.
Don’t get bogged down by who likes you or who doesn’t. Don’t get depressed by who comments on your post on social media and who doesn’t.

Don’t forsake your ministry conviction because of the party spirit that has even crept into ministry.
To be honest with you, only failures will eventually die trying to “belong.” Don’t abandon your work for ministry political parties. It would take more from you than you are willing to give.
Any brotherhood that almost rejects your ministry and uniqueness is a danger.
Any association that is only concerned about social status is not a godly one, irrespective of what they say or not.
Any fatherhood that acts like a maa gang could truncate your calling.
Any mentoring relationship that is not mutually benecial will cost you peace of mind.

To some people, relationships like this come naturally. To others, it would be cultivated. Whichever one you belong to, just know every man will individually give an account. There will be no political alliances recognized or mentioned. There will be no denominational consideration given.
You can’t be friends with everyone. You can’t do ministry with everyone. Friendship is not by force. Be at peace and focus on your assignment.
