HOW TO AVOID PITFALLS IN MINISTRY

Good morning and a Happy Sunday to you all. I'll like to share a short message on " HOW TO AVOID PITFALLS IN MINISTRY".

1. Ministry must be demarcated from marriage.
2. Don't take ministerial work at the expense of your marriage.
3. Don't use ministry to fatten yourself.
4. Don't make any man the pillar of your ministry.
5. You must be able to fast and pray. Prayerlessness leads to pitfall.
6. Let there be limitation in your relationship with opposite sex.
7. BEWARE! The devil plays upon what you always desire/love.
8. Cover your wife's weaknesses in public.
9. Stand firm on the Word, but don't be proud about it.
10. Tame your appetite.
11. It's not every honorarium that you collect, be careful.
12. "Autonomy of Pastor" is a pitfall, don't think you are self-sufficient.
13. Don't live a seclusive life, have fellowship with others, right people.
14. Be a praying machine.
15. Watch your doctrine, be alert in the spirit, flee all appearances of evil, live with eternity in view.
16. Avoid "Balak-Balam revival" never invite a preacher to come minister in your church for wrong reasons.
17. Handle your home well, avoid anything that can cause separation or divorce.
18. Don't underrate your members, they are people of God.
19. Don't speak evil of other pastors, love does not speak evil of it's brother.
20. A pastor must have a pastor. Have elders that can help you,
21. Remain addicted to the teaching of God's word.
22. Pastor's and Pastor's wife's should Stop Borrowing Money from Jesus Members and the Public.
23. Be a True Disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
24.Have Self control and Discipline yourself under the power of the Holyghost.
25. Be humble enough to fall prostrate before the Lord in Worship
26.You don't discuss your host with his members.
27. You don't ask your host members to come see you secretly for prayers .
28. You are not to be collecting your host members telephone numbers.
29. You can't be inviting your host members to another church or your next ministrations.
30. At least let the host know if someone blesses you, it won't affect your honorarium.
31.Stay within the time given to you and respect the order of the service


Happy Sunday to you all

So? Moses who put his work for God ahead of His marriage was wrong ? Does God really value your marriage as much as you do?

Pick on peeps? Never ever take my posts personally... I am here, not for persons but to defend the truth of God.

I don't even defend God Himself, He does not need us for that. He does need us to speak His truth no matter what. That is all i am here for.
