Reflection 9 (Until I depart)

            Last week the person that was discussed was Ambrose now this week his disciple is Augustine or Aurelius Augustious. Augustine was a bishop of Hippo and he served as a bishop there until his death. Augustine was one of the greatest leaders of the early Christian Church. His writings had a strong influence on medieval religious thoughts. Also his teaching also apparent in Martin Luther, John Calvin and other protestant formers.
            Consistency is really important in a ministry. Augustine ministered in Hippo as a bishop and he served there for the rest of his life. Before they endure in the ministry or the calling of God to their life. It is an encouragement to us to endure the ministry that God has given us. Like the life of Augustine.
            Graduation is in hand and the next step is work and ministry. I have a tendency to procrastinate in the ministry and in work. Like Augustine he was consistent in his calling and he served until his death. His commitment and consistency is really significant in my life. My prayer to God is that, “Help me Lord to be consistent and persevere in the ministry that you prepared before me.”
