#27. The MINISTRY OF HELPS Series

TWO METHODS OF HELPS / 4:

2b. The Organized Helps Ministry

Last session, I mentioned that, in a local church, two methods of HELPS are in operation:

1. Those who can help; and,

2. The Organized Helps Ministry.

I once read an interesting story about the effect of 'freelance helpers' when they get to work:

“In one ministry years ago, the Pastor had something wrong with his stomach and had bowel problems all the time. Sometimes, by the time he had run down the hallway to the bathroom it was too late. But he went on a vacation one time, and by the time he got back and walked into his office, there was another room! Some people had come in while he was gone and built him a bathroom to help him so he would not have to run down the hall."

God Bless!

#4. The MINISTRY OF HELPS Series

Understand God's Plan and Purpose. God set HELPS in the Body of Christ to provide AID, RELIEF and SUPPORT for the Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher. “Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, HELPS, administrations, varieties of tongues.” 1 Cor 12:27-28 God Bless!

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 33: 1 HELPS MINISTRY TRAINING: FULFILLING YOUR PASTOR’S VISION

Some years ago, I was invited to speak at a Church’s Worker's Training Programme. One of the questions during the interactive session was, 'How does a church member help the Pastor fulfill his God-given vision?' I would like to share with you what some simple steps to fulfilling your Pastor's vision. Step 1: Understand the Pastoral Office The pastoral office is one of the leadership ministries appointed in the Body of Christ by the Lord Jesus in Ephesians 4. The Pastor is the chief administrator of the local assembly. According to Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, “He is the one who gets the blame when things go wrong.” God has made him (or her) responsible for the well being of the church community. This responsibility applies to both pioneer and supporting pastors. Step 2: Change 'the' Pastor into ' My Pastor' People go to great extents to personalize their gifts and property. Anyone Personalizing anything not given to him is labeled a thief. You nat...
