tVB 26:4 HELPS MINISTRY TRAINING: SELF-MOTIVATED TRAINING


In tVB 26:3. TRAINING AS A KEY TO A GREATER FUTURE, I promised to show you one interesting case study evidencing the Self-Motivated Training Formula.

Daniel: A Hebrew Slave

Sometime around 605 BC. Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon attacked Judah and took certain Jews of noble descent into captivity, including Daniel. Daniel’s life was marked by many challenges, but the good news is that he overcame every one of them. You’ll find his story in the book of Daniel, Chapter 1:1-9 (Ref: The Holy Bible)

As expected, slaves have no choice. But Daniel had an attitude or sense of freedom in mind and his slavery became an opportunity to attain prominence. Daniel’s life demonstrated that, with God, you can overcome any problem that life throws at you.

Scenario:

Daniel was expected to behave as all the chosen young men did, but he opted out at a risky price.

The greatest works are done by the ones. The hundreds do not often do much, the companies never; it is the units, the single individuals, that are the power and the might. CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON

Decide for once in life to stand apart from the mediocre, the regular and the usual. Do something different.

Lesson 1: You don't have to follow the bandwagon. Choose to stand out.

Scenario: Daniel bargained and exchanged his comfort and safety for his goal. He opted for vegetables over the dainties apportioned them from the king's table. On test day, he and his three colleagues were found to be ten times more effective than their competitors.

Lesson 2: Be willing to choose what your preferred tomorrow requires over the the dressed-up mediocrity that your present situation presents.

Daniel was just a slave, to be seen and not heard. But he spoke out… and those seemingly ordinary words made him the most outstanding palace official.

Lesson 3: State your ideas and proposals regardless of your status. Someone who matters to your destiny and dream just might hear them. Rev. A. Nance once said, “Failure can be divided into those who thought and did nothing, and those who did something but didn't think”

Lesson 3b: Don't be afraid to be different. The 'odd thing' you boldly do just might be the someone's much-sought-after answer. At least suggest your idea.

Scenario:  Daniel was known for his habits. He prayed three times every day. What are you known for? And then do you feel disadvantaged because of a good habit? Don't!

Lesson 4: Develop & be known for constructive habits.

Lesson 5: Be ready to stand up for what is right.

Scenario:  King Darius was sleepless all night, couldn't eat. He could vouch for his integrity.

Lesson 6: Will anyone stick their head out for you?

Endeavour to give yourself concise answers now. At the end of the day, your impact on people, even more than the organization's financial bottom line, is what you will be remembered by!

TVB 51: 2 HELPS MINISTRY TRAINING: THE COLT

"And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him." Luke 19:29-31 Has it ever occurred to you that you may possess certain qualities that the Lord needs? There is a service gift within you which is vital and necessary for many people to contact their destinies – if only you put it to work! This gift positions you to be used by God. Many have heard a lot about the end-time move of God. My concern here is with God’s ministers who occupy the pews. You are also God’s flame and you play a vital role in God’s end-time move by reason of the duties you fulfill within your departments in your church. God wants to pour out H...

tVB 36: 2 HELPS MINISTRY TRAINING: CHURCH WORK & TEAM BUILDING LeadersTalk

"Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose. Luke 6:12-13 NKJV The Lord Jesus is our example in teamTbuilding. This was one of the very first things he did in ministry. You must realize that He had quite a large number of followers, but a time came when he hand­picked disciples. In other words, he raised and built a team. Now, building and maintaining effective church workers' teams is a time consuming and sensitive process particularly in ministry where the pressures of the moment are often intense. Most attempts at ministry team building don't work well, simply because leaders and workers fail to appreciate the effort that has to be invested in time and attention to detail. The truth is, when done well, teamwork contributes considerably to greatly improved productivity and reduced costs in the local assembly. R...

tVB 1:2 HELPS MINISTRY TRAINING: THE HELPS MINISTRY WORKERSTalk

Did I hear you say , “I can rest in the pew and dream of heaven. My Pastor is superhuman… he knows everything… can do everything. After all he’s ‘anointed’. He’s perfect. He must be an angel. And he’s ….” Bla bla bla… When you closely examine Acts 6:1-4, you see there a crisis situation in the Church at Jerusalem, despite the revival and daily addition to the membership that they were experiencing! The truth is, revival and church growth also bring along potential for problems. As revival rose in Jerusalem, work load mounted and for once the anointed apostles of the Lamb could not cope. They could be efficient in serving tables daily, except at the expense of their primary call and God-given vision of prayer and the ministry of the word of God. They called a meeting and told the congregation, “Folks, we need your help with the daily ministrations and the serving of tables.” CHURCH MEMBERS …EMPOWERED HELPERS! Church members form the ministry of Helps. You are to assist your Pas...
