#31. The MINISTRY OF HELPS Series

TWO METHODS OF HELPS / 7

2f. THE ORGANIZED HELPS MINISTRY

Freelance help can be a great blessing to the church when done from the heart and within house regulations. There are however risks of freelancing for immodest personal gains. An example is Ananias and Saphirra in Acts 5:1-11, NLT.

[4]When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; For He has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you have vowed—

[5]Better not to vow than to vow and not pay.

Ecclesiastes 5:4-5 (see v6-7), NKJV, NLT.

Truth is, you do not have to volunteer or commit to do anything. And if you do, ensure you follow through.

God Bless!

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...
