What a day!!!!! We had our first ever coke ministry day at Wal-Mart….. You ask what is a coke ministry? Well you hand out drinks in front of a store with no strings attached (of course we were doing it in Jesus name). It was an interesting day and we had a great time with some great stories. However it’s so amazing when you tell people that we were giving away stuff and not asking for a donation. The quotes of the day was “Why are you just giving these away?” and “What are you doing it for?”
This tells me a couple of things.
1. We have way too many groups asking for money, for many different things and people expect to give money for something.
2. People now days don’t expect anything for free.
I pose this question for any ministry out there, what have you done in the name of Jesus and not expected nothing in return? The bible says: And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward." Matthew 10:42.
The reason I ask is, why we aren’t we doing more ministry stuff like this. One thing is we are so worried about going and doing things for the kids, like taking them on youth retreats, summer camps, and fun stuff for them. Don’t get me wrong all these things are good, but we stretch ourselves too thin and we forget about doing ministry.
Again I challenge ever ministry, do something for the community, city, and so on and don’t expect anything in return. I believe you will get a better blessing. Do in Jesus name and let the Holy Spirit do the rest.
