Don't Evaluate the Success of a Minister and Ministry by these 11 things

1. Age of the General Overseer:
Some started the race pretty young, some started pretty late. No one has the authority to tell you not to practice Ministry because you're too young.
That's absolute nonsense as far as the Gospel is concerned.
Jesus started teaching in the temple at what age? 12 years.
Prophet Samuel who anointed Israel's first two Kings at what age did he start hearing prophecies directly from God?



2. Location of the Ministry:
The fact that your Ministry is located in places like Wyoming, Nevada, Nebraska and Albuquerque doesn't mean it's less in rank in God's eye than ministries located in New York, Los Angeles, California, Chicago etc Urban location of Ministry doesn't mean Churches located in rural areas or developing areas are trash!

3. Little Beginnings:
Some Preachers start with a loud bang, others start with whispers, never rate a Ministry low by how loud they begin.
Some of the best Ministries on earth (only God knows) started pretty much silently, and grew big gradually.

4. Mobility of the Lead Pastor:
Don't judge the success of a Ministry by how often the Minister travels around the country or the world. The mobility of a Gospel Minister is just what it is. It is not an indicator of how well he/she is performing in God's eye.

5. Financial Networth:
Any reptile or amphibian can have a high net worth. The true judge of the successful Minister and Ministry is his/her "Spiritual Net Worth" every other things are secondary and tertiary.

6. Social popularity of the Minister and Ministry: Just because it's viral doesn't mean it's valid! The fact that People like the Ministry or the Preacher isn't an indicator of how well the Ministry is doing in God's standards!

7. Crowd pulling capacity/capability: The crowd does not reflect the kind of cloud that hovers above and around a Minister or his/her Ministry. Some of the strongest Churches I've ever been to, don't do the crowd thing.

8. Tribe, Race or Ethnicity of the Gospel Minister:
No one Preaches better than his colleague because of where he/she comes from.
Some say; I love to listen to Western Preachers because of that accent, well your beloved Korean, Japanese, Indian and African Preachers are also anointed!

9. Use of "English language" for linguistic expression in Ministry:
Who says English is the only language we can use to Preach?
The original scripts and scrolls weren't even written in English!
Preach confidently in your native dialect if they don't understand English!

10. The Group Thing or Guest Speaker frequency:
It's not bad to be part of a group or team of Preachers, but how well are you doing individually?
Just like in music, how well do you perform as a solo artist before we can talk about the collabos or the features?

11. Marital Status of the Minister:
Society views marriage as a sign of being responsible, but in God's eye, it's not the basis of judgement of how well a Gospel Minister is doing or performing.
Single, Married, Divorced, having issues...none of these stops you from being God's vessel of honor.
Its not being happily married that gets the job done, its being dedicated and commited that does.
Its important to settle down maritally to avoid being lured into sexual sin and youthful lusts. However in the absence of that, Ministry must go on.

The Scriptures say:
1. Preach the Gospel,
2. Wins Souls for Jesus,
3. Heal the Sick,
4. Raise the dead,
5. Deliver the oppressed,
6. Declare freedom and liberty,
7. Multiply across the world

All these are nothing compared to the 11 items listed above.

Thanks!

Yours Sincerely;
Apostle Constance C. Friday.
