How secure are you in fulfilling your divine assignment? Do you keep comparing yourself to others or focus on labouring to reach the fullness of your destiny? These kinds of questions will never cease in your head. It’s better to answer them and do it properly today because it is profitable for dealing with the spirit of comparison.
Every genuine preacher will attest that the Word of the Lord comes to them as they spend time with Him, especially in their closets.
Keep giving divine knowledge to the poor through preaching the Word. Support them by your own means, but ensure their understanding of kingdom finances gets enriched as they listen to God’s Word from you. They might be slow in spiritual growth, but trust in God for progress.
Jesus never gave the disciples a method, strategy or medium to spread the gospel. He just told them to go and make disciples of all nations. That means that for them, and now to us to reach the ends of the world, we have been given the liberty to be creative and innovative.
Jesus is the builder of His church, not you. So with whatever He has called you to do, He is the leader even as you’re the leader of your team or home (I speak to godly married men in this case). And because of that, His work by grace empowerment in you contributes directly to the global building of the Church. So anytime you rebel against Him, you’re veering off His original plan for His worldwide church building; that’s where failure sets in.
It’s true many churches need more leaders, and the labourers in God’s kingdom are few. But Jesus is the builder of the Church. Let Him lead and guide you, and you’ll not miss the mark. Bring the ‘delivered’ to Jesus. Teach them God’s Word. But don’t cage them into your ministry. Allow them to serve the Lord with gladness, creating avenues to let their spiritual gifts come to bear in the fullness of God.
Be wise to build security around your life, especially as a minister of Christ. Make sure you have at least seven people in your life who have the liberty and boldness to correct you when you’re wrong without you feeling awful about their talk. It’s for your own safety so that you’ll have enough guidance to finish your race of faith well.
Longevity in God’s kingdom service is paramount for finishing strong in fulfilling your divine assignment. But it doesn’t happen just like that. There are revelations in the Word that can guide you achieve it. Learn four of them today.
The right reason for maintaining joy in ministry is the assurance that God will reward your work. So rejoice whether there are issues or not because God understands you. He hasn’t and will never forget your labour of love.
You ease the pressure and burden on your shepherd’s (pastor’s) mind when you obey his teachings of Jesus Christ and become submissive to the spiritual instructions that he gives you.
God counted you faithful before putting you into the ministry. He knew you’d mess up sometimes, make mistakes, mishandle opportunities and even commit evil acts sometimes unconsciously. But He’s focused on your roots – what’s within you, not the filth you’re letting out.
As a minister of the gospel, don’t entertain procrastination in your workflow any day of your life. Discharge the duties of your ministry, whether people applaud you for what you do or not.
