Doing the work of the Ministry


MinistryThere is nothing like pressure to bring out the real person inside.

All it takes is a couple more tasks added to your plate to make you realise that this ‘ministry thing’ you have devoted your life to is far too big for a one man band.

Ministry is an orchestra. Each member playing their part. Each instrument singing the praise of God with every note.

I have a BIG project on at the moment and it is consuming my working week and schedule… which is the GREATEST thing that could happen to me. We all go through seasons of busyness, and this season is one of those seasons… BIG time.

So here’s what I am forced to do with this ‘opportunity’ (which often come in the form of more work).

TRUST THE ORCHESTRA.

You see:

“I don’t have to do all the work, I just have to make sure the work gets done!”

The best thing that could happen to you is a season of busyness…

Nothing else on this earth helps you develop people is the prospect of you not getting through all the ‘work’. My role/Your role as a ministry leader is to enable people to ‘do the work of the ministry’.

GIVE AWAY THE MINISTRY.

My senior pastor has given away the ministry to children to my pastor, who has in turn given it away to me. WHY would I stop this chain of love????

I need to give it away to others, who in turn give it away to… (wait for it)… the KIDS!

My passion and reason for existing is to see the children that God has entrusted to me minister to their world!!
