Secrets Of A Good Evangelican Ministry

By Laura Rogers


Ministry can be seen to be the range of activities or organizations within the church. They are ways by which the instructions and commandments of God are obeyed. Through the Christian ministry, the believers of the gospel can express their faith. Spreading the gospel is a mandate given to people on earth and can be effectively implemented by establishing various outreaches. For the job to be well done, lots of efforts and commitments are needed. Many strategies for a successful evangelican ministry are given herein.

For instance, serving God by developing a cordial relationship with Him is essential if the believers' gospel outreaches and ministries must thrive. God gives them a good sense of direction as a reward to continuity in abiding in His presence. Participating in activities in the church can be so tasking and in order to succeed, and avoid obstacles and impediments, recognizing the creator of the universe is very vital.

Also, the believer must be devoted to reading the word of God regularly. Effective and fervent prayers without ceasing will make the Christian acquire spiritual strength and the ability for the tasks ahead. In most cases, decline and the slow rate of growth in churches and the outreaches are as a result of weaknesses and laziness in feeding on the scriptures.

Having a clear vision and definiteness of purpose is also crucial for the growth of the ministries. Every true believer is enriched with various spiritual gifts. To some, the gift of healing, to another, the gift of prophecy while others have the gift of performing many miracles, signs, and wonders. Having a sure and adequate knowledge of one's gifts and focusing on it will contribute to its outstanding achievements and success.

For some brethren, they make it a doctrine that for one to own a ministry, one must have completed series of training and programs in the Bible schools and institutions. This will ensure that the believer or groups of believers are properly acquainted with the principles of the kingdom and the enhancement of their faith in God. Greater chances of failures await those who are not fully prepared for the challenges that may be encountered as a result of ignorance of the scriptures.

It must also be noted that the ministers of the gospel are vulnerable to attack from the enemy. The devil's mission on earth is to ensure that the kingdom of God is not promoted. As a result of this, it is very necessary to guard against the principalities and powers and the rulers of darkness by practicing godly Christian living. Believers all over the world should practice what they teach their fellow brethren. A good and exemplary lifestyle is a workable strategy for victorious Christians.

The management of a Christian ministry will be difficult to be run and controlled without team building and cooperation. For its actualization, the leader must strive to acquire many leadership characteristics and interpersonal skills. Examples include the ability to communicate effectively, listening skills, patience, and endurance.

The minister must summon the courage to start as soon as possible. Delays in making this dream a reality must be avoided because it may lead to an entire change of mind. People die every day and are sent to hell fire. In order to reduce the rate of these perished souls in hell, Christians should be encouraged to start with whatever resources they have. Afterall, ministries must not be carried out in large buildings and cathedrals. It can also take place in small gatherings, rented rooms, and apartments. The presence of two or more individuals will also attract God's presence and total support.
