Relationship between Ministry Drivers And Passengers

UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MINISTRY DRIVERS AND MINISTRY PASSENGERS:

A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE IN THE LEADERSHIP AND FOLLOWERSHIP POSITION:

TAKE NOTE OF THE SIXTEEN (16) FOLLOWING POINTS:

1. From the very beginning, you must decide by an encounter wether you are to be the driver of a ministry or a passenger under a driver. This will save you from all the problems most drivers and passengers will bring upon themselves, as a result of wrong positioning.
2. If you don’t believe in the destination the driver is heading to, and you don’t also love his style of driving, it is for your own good to respectfully step out of the vehicle.
3. There is no time anyone will see sense in you remaining in a vehicle with a destination you don’t believe in, and a driving style of a driver you don’t also like.
4. For your own safety, step outside. Or coordinate yourself inline with the rules guiding your stay in that vehicle and under that driver. You must be under rules, as long as you are under that driver in that vehicle.
5. There is no time the driver’s seat will be given to you. And there is no time that the driver will have to drive based on how you learnt driving. He is not you, and can never be you. He will always drive the way he learnt it, and not the way you want it.
6. Read this epistle with an open mind, to avoid blaming the innocent driver for the outcome of your own decision. A decision brought you into the vehicle, and a decision can take you out. That decision is for you to make, nobody will make it for you.
7. Where I will blame the driver, is when you don’t believe in the destination he is heading to, and you don’t also believe in his style of driving, and you want to go, but himself still dont want you to step out of the vehicle. Some drivers are like that, they don’t want to change the destination they are driving to, and their style of driving. Yet will not want you to step out of the vehicle.
   But no true driver in his right mind, will behave that way. You have to jump out for you own good. I once asked a driver on my way to Benin to stop for me to join a different vehicle. It was a drop I took, I gave him my money to follow my convintion. Sometimes life is preserved that way.
8. Don’t blame the driver who took you to the wrong destination, blame yourself who refused to step out and face the destination you believe in.
9. Don’t also blame the driver who showed you all the signs that he is going to have an accident, blame yourself who saw those signs and still stayed until the accident happened.
10. If you choose to stay, then keep faith with the driver, and always behave as instructed, as long as you have committed your life into God’s hand through his hand. We are all in God’s hand through the hands of the man driving the ministry vehicle.
11. Church leaders, Assistant pastors, employees of different organisations, and wives at all levels should have enough sense to pick a lesson or two from the above teaching. Nobody forced you to hang around.
12. All drivers must not also forget some passengers will prefer to see every one die in the vehicle, than for them to step out. Where you are faced with those kinds of passengers, you have to be intentional about getting to your destination by all positive means.
13. As for me, I will never beg a passenger to stay, I will never change my God given destination for any passenger, I will not also change my driving or ministry style, because I am not the only vehicle at the motor pack. If you don’t like my vehicle, go locate a better vehicle. Or better still, buy your own vehicle. We all can be owners of different vehicles. Only then will you appreciate the effort of the driver you don value.
14. For the evil and the wicked, who think they can can kill the driver, in other to take over the vehicle, they should not also forget that all original documents are with the family members of the driver. Why even think of killing a man over a vehicle you cannot claim. Buying is easier than killing.
15. There are good Drivers that will not be valued until you step into a different vehicle, only then will you value them, there are also passengers that you won’t value until you lose them to another vehicle. Let the driver and passenger be fully persuaded.
16. The above teaching is how both the ministry drivers, who serve as founders of churches, and the ministry passengers, who serve as assistant Pastors and church workers will not wake up one day and start blaming each other for their outcome.

This is how ministry is supposed to be for both the one driving and the one been driven.

The Lord bless and give you understanding.
