Book Description
The work of lay ministry requires a consciousness of some foundational aspects of ministry. Consciousness in this instance refers to constant awareness and sensitivity that leads to automated compliance. These are the aspects we are to give attention to so that they will awaken in us and thus become part of our functionality in lay ministry. The desire to become effective in lay ministry must therefore be backed with a consciousness or constant awareness of the spirit, the ministry of reconciliation, the identity of the church, personal judgment, God’s Eternal purpose, and the ministry of the word. Without this consciousness and understanding, you will not be effective in your practice of lay ministry. A consciousness of these truths forms the core or basis from which a true lay minister operates.

Pages : 91
Book Description
It is not possible to successfully undertake lay ministry without the anointing. Sadly, many lay ministers do not prioritize or give proper place to the anointing and this is why many of them seem to struggle. To successfully carry out lay ministry whether in the area of teaching the word, soul-winning, and pastoral care, or even in carrying out administrative duties, the lay minister needs the anointing. Thus, understanding the anointing, how to function in it, and develop it, is necessary for every minister. In this book, I will show you what the anointing is, how it functions, and how to develop it for optimal results in lay ministry.

WHY WE GO TO CHURCH

ISBN:
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
Throughout the hundreds of years of the existence of the Church, many in the Church have lost an understanding of her true identity, purpose, credibility, integrity, and God-given authority. This is in part because of several prevailing erroneous ideologies about the Church. These ideologies have weakened the core fabrication and foundation the Church, making her seem almost ineffective, irrelevant, and powerless in the world today. Any church that has lost this foundational and relevant understanding cannot effectively fulfill its calling to reach the world. It is therefore my desire in this book, to awaken in you the understanding of the Church's position and authority in Christ Jesus and in the world, by first exposing some of these erroneous ideologies and attempting to create an understanding of the true identity, purpose, position, and authority of the Church.

GROWING CHURCH SPIRITUALLY
Author: ISAIAH MACWEALTH
Publisher: GP Publisher
ISBN:
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 91
Book Description
There is a spirit or attitude that is required to attain church growth. This spirit or attitude is an indication that church growth and explosion are near. The spirit of church growth refers to the prevailing quality or attitude displayed by one who wants to experience church growth. This refers to the dominating characteristics that a church or pastor who desires church growth should display. When I see a minister who truly wants his church to grow, there are some tendencies and dispositions that I observe that make me know that the person is gearing up for church growth. I see a hunger that often translates into actions that in time trigger church growth. Therefore, any pastor who will experience church growth must also carry this attitude or spirit. This is what I intend to expose you to in this book. I will expatiate on the spirit of wisdom, the heart of sacrifice, spiritual prayers, and the spirit of faithfulness.

CHURCH AND MONEY
Author: ISAIAH MACWEALTH
Publisher: GP Publisher
ISBN:
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
The subject of church finances, church financing, pastors and financial integrity has become a major discourse on every major social media platform, leaving people in three categories: - Those who believe and adhere strongly to church funding. - Those who are totally against church funding and capitalizing ministry, and - Those who are not really sure of where to stand because of the confusing rhetoric. I have always been a lover of the truth and what I hate most in life is not the devil or demons or sin, but half-truth, because that does more damage than any devil or any demon. God loves a cheerful giver! The only problem God has with a giver is not whether he gave 10% or 20% or more, it is whether he is cheerful in his giving. So I don’t think we should be fighting those who have gotten the revelation to give huge amounts and let that be our problem. We should not be trying to discourage people from doing what God loves; for giving to better lives, expand the kingdom and cater properly for those who propagate the Gospel. Instead, if there is anything to discuss, it should be about how we can be more cheerful about our giving. Therefore, in this book, I have thought to share with you simple reasons from scriptures about giving especially in the area of offerings and tithes, and to help those of you who may be confused, not because you do not want to give, but because you are finding a good reason to do so. I want to lend you my understanding as one who is not arguing or discussing about the subject, but as one who has walked in the reality of giving, laying down everything that I had and having God replace and multiply them. I have seen giving work in my life and in the lives of people all around me. If you read this book with sincerity and openness of heart, line upon line and precept upon precept, steadily from one chapter to the other, whether or not you have some struggles along the way, I believe that at the end of the discourse, you would not only be learned on the subject but be able to teach others also.
