THE MAKING OF A TRUE MINISTER(Pt 3)

August 16, 2013 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

Isaiah45:13- I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall BUILD my city, he shall let go my captives, not for price nor for reward, saith the LORD of host.

RAISED TO BUILD

Whatever ministry the Lord has given you must be building lives and moulding destinies. Your primary calling isn't to build edifices, auditorium and camp grounds, that's not our priority, its just by the way.

A true minister is built by God to build others in God's word. Your song, drama, preaching&teaching ministry should be centred on building others to be more like Christ, helping them to discover purpose and fulfilling it.

To know a successful minister, we have to see the lives he has pointed to the cross, built to be like christ and established in the faith. I'm not talking about those he has built to imitate him in hair-style and talking. If you talk like your spiritual father, dress like him and even sneeze like him without the character, anointing and grace upon him, it is just a waste of energy.

Action point

Father, build me in your word to build others In Jesus Name.
