"Practice and work hard on these things; be absorbed in them [completely occupied in your ministry], so that your progress will be evident to all." 1 Timothy 4:15 AMP
Think of all the outlets of service and activities you’ve been asked to do and are needed in the church. The fact that you have been asked may have been the Providence of God trying to wake you from your lethargy. Have you been asked to go out on evangelism, work in the Children's church, preach, sing in the choir, greet guests at the door? God may be trying to tell you something.
Too many wait for opportunities to come not realizing there are always opportunities in the house of God. Opportunities are all around us everyday, so don’t wait to get in the mood to become involved in the work that has an everlasting reward. You have to prime the pump, if you wait until you’re in the mood, you may wait forever. When you don’t feel like doing something, you tend to put it off, but it’s often after we get involved in a task that we become highly motivated.
Don’t wait to serve. God has given you both abilities and opportunities to use them to serve others. Seize the opportunities and use what God has given you. Avail yourselves of the opportunities, don’t wait. God wants to use you now.

Declare This: Dear Lord, I avail myself of every opportunity given me in my church and I ensure to carry out this responsibilities with all of my heart without complaining in Jesus name Amen.
