Scriptures to reference: Acts 13:1-2 Topic: Ministering unto the Lord   Description: Ministering unto the Lord goes into prayer of praise, thanksgiving and worship.  When we come to church the minister, preacher or teacher ministers onto us.  We are always ministering to one another and this is good as well.  However, when do we minister unto the Lord.  When we petition unto God, we are asking Him to change some things because God will change His mind for you.  Instead of coming to pray or petition God to do something for us, give Him something we know he loves.  Minister unto Him in praise, worship and thanksgiving.  The first church at Antioch were on one accord by ministering and fasting unto the Lord.  They asked for nothing, they knew that fasting is not necessarily ministering, but submission unto God as a prayer of submission and consecration unto God.  The people gave God the highest type of prayer praise and worship.
