The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. Psalm 119:130

What Are The Chief Aims Of Ministry?

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on March 21, 2017 at 8:58am
Is it just for us to have religious titles attached to our names? Is it for us to build buildings all over the place to gather people for weekly activities? Is it a noble profession for wealth creation? Thinking out loud!
 
When the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse of it is inevitable. After 32 years of walking with the Lord, I can say aloud to those who care to listen that Christ didn't institute ministry for religious activities, or as cheap path to fame, wealth, and opportunity to travel the world, etc.
 
The ministry is a Divine vehicle via which Christ intends to build his church, "not our church," as a bride, without spot and wrinkles. Eph 5:27.
 
That said, it is important for us to look at a few targets for real ministry work as written in Ephesians 4: 11-15.
 
1) Perfecting the saints.
 
2) Equipping the saints for the work of the ministry.
 
3) Edification of the body of Christ
 
4) Bringing the saints into the Unity of the faith, not unity of Churches. Take note!
 
5) Bringing the people of God into the knowledge of the Son of God, and unto a perfect man.
 
6) Bringing God's people unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.
 
7) Graduating God's people from being children who are tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine.
 
8) Empowering the Saints to speak the truth in love, growing up in all things in Christ.
 
After looking at the above targets and divine expectations for ministry, these are some of the questions I am bothered about.
 
1) Are the programs we are having under our different denominational and ministry roofs achieving these targets?
 
2) Do we bother about meeting these goals or we are just enjoying the fame, recognition, wealth, and other things associated with the ministry today?
 
3) Are the thousands of young people entering the ministry today conscious about the seriousness attached to the above objectives and are they on fire to meet these targets in the course of their ministry work?
 
4) Do we evaluate our ministry work in the light of Eph 4:11-15.
 
5) Messages like "this witch must die," operation pull down the walls of Jericho, 24-hours miracle seed, and others we have been preaching, how far have they helped us to meet these targets for ministry?
 
6) Is there any relevance for denominations or ministries not focused on these objectives for ministry?
 
7) Shouldn't Christians have the right to flee from any ministry that careless about God's program for the church?
 
These are some of the questions I have been pondering on this morning. The activities of churches are all time high than any other time in history, but it seems we are merely running our shows, enjoying ourselves and counting and showing off our financial gains at the expense of accomplishing God's agenda. May God help us!
 
If you care about doing God's work the way it should be done, we are inviting you to meet us in Dodoma, Tanzania, 20th-24th of September for the GFC 2017 Great Lake Global Summit on the 21st-century church. Contact us for information on registration and others. Be blessed! DrBenard Etta

A SUPERNATURAL VOYAGE INTO THE WORLD OF THE WORD

LEARNING IS LIVING

 

 

 

You Can Be A Nation Builder

MINISTRY IS ABOUT IMPACT

THE WORD!

You can't rise above your knowledge of the word of God. Ignorance of the word is the greatest ignorance of man. Dr. Etta

IT'S A NEW DAY!

He called the Light Day. Genesis 1:5a

In God's perspective, a day is only justified by its light. That's why, Christ said, we should ask for our daily bread. The bread he was referring to was something deeper than physical food; it is the light (revelation and understanding) that goes with each day.

You can't survive on yesterday's light, today, which is the major reason why most institutions, churches, and organizations lose their relevance with time.

Operating with the light of yesterday in a new day is the major reason behind the decay in several quarters of Christendom.

Jesus wept over Jerusalem because they didn't know the time of their visitation. The light of the world walked through their streets, but their religious blindness made them miss such a glorious era.

I'm weeping for this generation, "And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil." John 3:19.

I pray you seek the light for this era!

Sometimes, it may require personal consecration to God and thorough mentorship under those entrusted with the light of a given dispensation.

"Religion" hates to hear this kind of truth, but we won't close our mouths nor drop down our pens until the light of the truth sweeps all across this dark world. Help us, God! DrBenard Etta

He Called the Darkness Night! Gen 1:5b

 

Physical things are weak illustrations of life realities. We are either walking in the “Day” or “Night” and the difference is light.

The difference between day and night is not time, but light. An entire generation can grope in the dark and live their experience in the night if they lack light (Illumination).

We are in the 21st-Century, and while there is a small group of people dotted around the world who are walking in the light of this day (21st Century), it is just unfortunate that millions of people living in this same era are walking in darkness and living the reality of the night.

An entire denomination, nation, and generation could walk in gross darkness even under the brightest sunlight. Thank God for sunlight, but its impact is merely physical. There is another light; divine light, the light of the revelation of Christ as the truth. That's the highest light!

It doesn't make people merely religious; it upgrades their knowledge and understanding and gives them access to “heavenly civilization” for early manifestation. That's why, just going to church alone isn't enough, there is light available if we press on to know the one who is Light, and in him is no darkness at all.

It is his light given to a generation that births their day. He called the Light Day!

Very soon, the power of his Light will lighten this age through his luminaries. I see a new day on the horizon; it's coming!

Don't get lost in baseless “religiosity,” disconnect to connect. Ponder to be a wonder!DrBenard Etta

The Word Of God Contains All The Vital Principles For Birthing A New Civilization!

The world within the word of God is the only realm without deficiencies; its sufficiency can make up for our deficiencies in all areas of our lives and spheres of strategic importance. Apart from salvation from sin, sicknesses, curses, and demonic oppression, the ‘world within the word offers breakthrough knowledge, ideas, strategy, inventions, creations, and innovative insights, capable of propelling advanced progress in the Politico-Socio-Economic-Cultural and Scientific arenas. The word of God contains all the vital principles for the birthing of a new civilization, in virtually all areas and spheres of life. It takes insight to see this possibility.

There is much more to our existence on planet Earth than mere survival. I said in Chicago last year during my mentorship program that the highly celebrated "American Dream" of a house, car, and others is the highest form of poverty if it becomes all one lives for.

WHY GFCSM IS UNIQUE!

1) It is a heavenly vision for such a time as this, packaged with timely and relevant revelation knowledge to equip the saints for extraordinary effectiveness and impact in establishing God's kingdom and His will on earth as it is in heaven in the lives of people and all facets of society in the 21st century.

2) The courses are not borrowed, but downloaded from the mind of God, and uniquely designed for 21st-century passionate, curious, and inquisitive kingdom ambassadors, whose search for God and truth can't be satisfied by baseless proclamations and religious rhetoric. Presently, I don't know of any school of ministry with the courses in the GFCSM online school program. This is what leadership is about; opening new frontiers and refusing to lead from behind.

3) GFCSM doesn't only educate and equip those called into the five-fold ministry but has an extensive vision and resources to equip marketplace leaders from all walks of life.

4) GFCSM is a pace-setting kingdom mandate for the 21st-century church. By the providence of the Almighty God, GFCSM is one of the very few schools of ministry with sound biblical revelations, which you would rarely come across cheaply.

If Jesus Christ said, he was not the light of the world, he would have been telling a lie. If we say GFCSM isn't a pace-setting and groundbreaking 21st-century revolutionary Christian leadership vision, we would simply be telling a lie.

This isn't cheap publicity, but undeniable facts. Jesus wept over Jerusalem for not knowing the time of her visitation.

A new move of God is on the horizon, don't miss out.

Religion is like a virus!

Religion is like a virus; it attacks basic common sense and prudence. It is a baseless and senseless pursuit of God due to inadequate divine illumination. Deliverance from religion is the fundamental requirement in accessing the Divine.

It's interesting to note that, those who crucified Christ were religious people. Why? Christ was a threat to their religious domination, manipulation, and control of the masses.

If Christ returns to earth today, religious people would still seek to kill him. Religion is the most vicious enemy of humankind.

The world is divided between a minority who truly know God and a majority of religious people who believe in God but don't know Him.

Where do you belong?

Dr.Etta

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. Col 3:16a
