DONT ATTACK WHAT YOU DONT HAVE:

TODAYS TOPIC:

BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU HAVE, AND ALSO CELEBRATE WHAT YOU DONT HAVE THAT OTHERS HAVE:

BECAUSE YOU ALSO HAVE WHAT OTHERS DONT HAVE, THAT THEY ARE CELEBRATING:

IF YOU DONT SEE LIFE THIS WAY, YOU WILL GO THROUGH LIFE FIGHTING EVERYTHING YOU DONT HAVE:

I GIVE YOU 10 PRACTICAL EXAMPLES OF HOW PEOPLE ATTACK WHAT THEY DONT HAVE:

1.MINISTRY IS NOT ONLINE PRAYERS:
This is coming from a man who is envious and jealous of Pastors that are successful with online prayers. He is not happy that his members are following most online prayers. He forgot that most fathers who said this before, are now doing online prayers. You will learn the hard way. The syllabus has changed, if you have grace for it do it. Most of them do it to engage their own members from other online prayer engagement, a few others do it as part of their ministry. Don’t attack both groups.

  1. MINISTRY IS NOT FACEBOOK POSTS, LIKES, COMMENTS AND SHARES:
    This is coming from a man who has done everything possible to have likes, comments and shares without any results. If you have it and you make this statement, I will take you more serious. But to have no likes, no comments and no share after three days of posting, something is either wrong with your Facebook setting or wrong with your person. Let a Pastor with likes, comments and shares in millions, come out and to say Ministry is not by having likes, comments and shares, everyone will take him serious, because God has given it to him in abundance. Some people follow your page when they see the traffic you attract. It is not ministry itself, but it is enhancing your ministry. Post content that are rich, instead of telling us what is in your mind.
  2. MINISTRY IS NOT ONLINE MEMBERS AND FOLLOWERS:
    A grace you should pray to have, is what you are fighting at this early morning of your life. To let you know this is a special grace, most fathers in Nigeria don’t have the kind of online following that some of these young Ministers have. Do you know how much comes in from online worshippers globally? This month alone our online offerings from members whose feet have not step into our church this year, but believes in what we do, is about three point four million. (3,400,000)
    Ministry is not online members and followers, but your online members and followers can do the things that your physical members may never do.
    Don’t forget they are not Robots, they are human beings who also give online offerings and tithes. A father in the faith, who said there is nothing like online offerings or service, is the biggest beneficiary of the online platform at the moment.
  3. MINISTRY IS NOT BY PREACHING EVERYWHERE: This one is angry with Pastors that are seen preaching everywhere. Do you know what it means to be in demand? Pray to God to make you become relevant to your generation. Some people are everywhere yet have no work on ground. Some have a very fruitful work on ground, yet needed everywhere. Those people should be studied. Don’t fight them, only God can make you in demand. Most especially when you don’t beg to be invited. Never forget, some people’s true ministry, is by preaching everywhere. That is their calling as an Apostle or Evangelist to the body of Christ.
  4. MINISTRY IS NOT BY BUILDING CHURCH AUDITORIUM, IT IS BY BUILDING PEOPLE:
    This one is angry with Pastors that choose to build auditorium very early. Or those who have a building but are building more buildings. This one is angry with the ark project of Winners Chapel, He is angry with the hand of God Cathedral of Salvation ministries, He is angry with the glory dome of Dunamis, Have you ever asked yourself, The people you are building where will you keep them?
  5. MINISTRY IS NOT BY HAVING MONEY:
    A very poor arrogant man is speaking here. He doesn’t know that not having money happens to be his biggest limitation in ministry at the moment. The more money you have, the more things you can do for God. The more money you have the more options you have. MINISTRY needs money, and can never be fulfilled without money. Stop hating rich Pastors. They are the ones who Silver and gold to shake the world has been committed into their hands. Pray to have what they have.
    Poverty is the greatest attack on the Anointing upon the Anointed. Both in ministry and in marriage, Your members won’t believe in you, if you are permanently poor, after all your teachings on prosperity. Your wife and children will also regret coming through you into this world, if you are permanently poor.
  6. MINISTRY IS NOT IN PACKAGING: This one is angry with all pastors that are given to packaging. There are some caliber of people you can never attract, no matter how anointed and gifted you are without packaging. Some people go to church because of the way the church is packaged. At your current level, be packaging yourself and the ministry not to lose important people, instead of speaking against your next level without knowing. Do you know what a well packaged children church can do to your ministry? Do you know what Air-conditioning system can do to your ministry? What about church workers that appear well packaged, it makes people believe your church is not affected by the suffering in the land. Let’s not talk about a well packaged toilet facilities. If you don’t have it, don’t attack it.

All of the seven things mentioned above, are not the definition of ministry, but CAN AID AND BOOST YOUR RESULTS IN MINISTRY. DON’T FIGHT IT, DON’T SPEAK AGAINST IT, BELIEVE GOD TO HAVE IT.

Some of us are still growing, we should not be found speaking against the Answer to all the prayers we have offered since we came into ministry.

Be blessed.
