tVB 27: 5 HELPS MINISTRY TRAINING: DESPERATELY NEEDED: ON PURPOSE HELPERS!


He had been chosen as an apostle. He was entrusted with keeping the group's purse. Little wonder the others thought Jesus was sending him on another errand the night he went out to betray Jesus. The bible states, “For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, “Buy those things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor (John 13: 29). He was expected to function according to the purpose, intention, use, or design of his appointment.

Working 'on-purpose' is prerequisite for effectiveness as a church worker (or any kind of worker in fact). 'Purpose' is the reason anything is done, created or exists. It is a fixed design or idea that is the object of an action or other effort.

To be effective within your pastor's vision, you need concise answers to two questions. First is, “Why was your area of service actually designed?” Second, “What exactly is your duty within that area of service?”

Getting these vital answers and thereby identifying your purpose at these two levels is necessary to deliver relevant and rewarding service.

HOW TO WORK ACCORDING TO YOUR SENT-­MINISTER'S PURPOSE

This can be achieved through:

Ask Questions

…From the one who appointed you, until you clearly understand your assignment. Where possible, receive answers directly from the same. Reported answers, most often tend to be interpretations or explanations of what was originally said.

Wait on the Lord

Only He can input into you the necessary requirements for success in your assignment. As you wait on the Lord, the anointing upon your sent-minister will be poured out upon your life. Association also enables a rub-off of his/her anointing on you.

Giving Feedback to your Sent-Minister

...From time to time. This will help you remain on course. These points are vital for would-be successful helpers. It is most unlikely that you will know more about your assignment than the one who appointed you.

17 Then I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit that is upon you and will put the same upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you may not bear it yourself alone.

A vital point to note is that the sent-minister is informed by God, while the sent-minister's helpers are anointed by God and informed by the sent minister.

The truth is, you were appointed because of the needs of your Pastor's God-given vision.

The truth is, you were appointed because of the needs of your Pastor's God-given vision. Only he knows his needs. He heard from God. Therefore regular consulting, as time permits, positions you for more information from source.

As a parting word, I would advise that you learn to base your operations on correct [and cross-checked] information and instructions.

God bless!

HELPS MINISTRY TRAINING: YOU ARE NEEDED!

“And he told the crowd to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish. He looked up toward heaven and blessed the food. Then he broke the bread and handed it to the disciples, and they gave it to the people.”   Matthew 14 v 19 (CEV) A little portion from VISION BUILDERS' “Understanding The Helps Ministry” Manual reads; “Had Jesus never appointed people to work with him, would we have anything left of the ministry of Jesus today? Had Paul never had men and women work with him, would we have had anything left of the ministry of Paul today?” It is amazing to us how this particular message, in both the manual and audio forms have blessed so many lives. After attending one of our seminars, this particular Pastor said to me, “Please come and tell my people 'You are important!' Everybody wants to know that he or she is important, and that they are vital for certain things to move smoothly. Even nature attests to this. Scientists say plants are sensitive...

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...

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...
