We have a lot of work to do brethren. I have pasted below some excerpts from a workshop we had on ANOINTED MESSAGES. Let our tongues be like FIRE!
4 TYPES OF MESSAGES
- Worthless messages: they act like sleeping pills
- Wordless messages: they hardly refer to the Bible
- Directionless messages: they are from lazy ministers
- Impactful/ anointed messages: they transform lives
Teachers must have a serious approach to standout in the Ministry and observe the following:
- Uncompromising holiness (ISAIAH 52:11)
- Enroll in the school of the Holy Spirit
- Develop an uncommon passion for the Kingdom of God
4.Follow the anointed physically/ reading CDs/ reading books/ planting an upward seed in ministries of men of God (HEBREW 6:12 )
- Engage in consistent teaching and preaching
- Desire the anointing with passion
WHAT/ WHO IS A MINISTER
- 1. He influences the earth with the culture of Heaven
- 2. He is an envoy sent to earth to enforce the will of his King
- 3. He is sent for a message and is an apostle with a definite calling
TASK OF MINISTERS (EPHESIANS 4:11-13) (Greek word katartizó)
- 1. to EQUIP people which is different from the task of a PREACHER
- 2. to edify/ build up the body of Christ
- 3. to raise people to perfection
CONCLUSION: ask yourself the following and move yourself into ACTION
- Who is the Holy Spirit to you? (Comforter/ Guardian etc)
- What can I do so I can deliver anointed messages
Amazing read. I particularly liked when you pointed out that a minister is different from a preacher because many assume they are the same. All preachers are ministers but not all ministers are preachers. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you all.
