How To Minister

Many ministers, both old and new ministers, often do not know how to minister to people. Many of them keep themselves idle, in terms of God’s work, even when many people are waiting to be attended to. All they want is just to come in and sit down. They do not want to be disturbed, and they feel less concerned.

Some complain of not knowing where to start or what to do. Others feel shy and avoid ministering to people. There are some others, who always regard themselves as not qualified to minister to people, even so from year to year.

The undesirable effect is that many people remain unattended to. In some missions, the workload becomes burdens to the few active ministers. Many a times, the Angels arrive in the midst of the congregation to perform duties, which ordinary ministers should have done, before the arrival of the Angels. The bad effects are unnecessary delays, in rendering services, and spiritual underdevelopment, stagnation of the ministers, because their spiritual talents are not being utilized as and when due.

The worst aspect is that many a times, it is the idle and lazy ministers that keep themselves busy gossiping and complaining of the regular and active minsters. By so doing, the non-performing ministers become discouragement and frustration to the good and active ministers. The head of every mission should be wary of the lazy ministers, who are prone to absenteeism and idleness. They cause a lot of trouble, quarrels, misunderstandings and crisis in the house of God, just by gossiping and by accusing others.

Below are some guidelines which shall guide and enable a minister of God on how to minister to people:

1. As a minister of God, you should know that you have been called to attend to the needs of others, by praying for them, by delivering messages to them, by providing guidance and counseling and by solving their problems.

2. As such, you should see yourself as one of the leaders, and not just as an ordinary member.

3. Avoid fears and doubts.

4. Practice makes perfect. Many spend so many hours and days praying for spiritual powers, whereas the right thing they should do is to start using the spiritual talents which they already have.

5. Even when the Angels empower somebody, the Angels do not give the person new power. Rather, what the Angels do is to make the power already inside the person to become radiant - manifest and functional.

6. The more you use the little power you have, the more the little power develop into a very big power.

7. Join others in rendering everyday services, like sweeping, fetching water, carrying the seats, setting the stage, decorating the premises. Do not be the idle type of minster, who always comes to sit down and watch others do the work.

8. You shall know when to start praying for people by the following two signs:

a. When people come by themselves to you, asking you to pray for them.

b. When you start having messages of praying for people.

c. When people start telling you their needs and problems, as if they are talking to the head or senior ministers.

9. Pray for revelations, before the day of the prayer and worship. Many of the prophetic messages delivered during prayers and worship are received days before the event. Because of competition for membership, many prophets, visioners and ministers do present their prophetic messages as all the messages were being received there and then at the prayers or worship.

10. Cultivate the habit of inquiry. You do this by asking God questions about people, about their needs and problems, and about the solutions.

11. If necessary fast or go into more serious prayers, in order to get messages and solutions from God.

12. Always arrange your prophetic messages in the order of people coming for prayers or counseling. That means that the first message is for the first person, the second message is for the second person, and so on.

13. Plan the details of your ministration. Assuming that you have decided to call out all those who are sick, the Angels will then show the sick ones in a line up to you and give you messages for the first person, the person on your immediate right, the person directly before you, message for the sixth person, and message concerning the last person or the person at the back. You would have observed that sometimes, delivering prophetic messages do not always follow serially.

14. Do observe quiet time and meditation, after praying for people, so that you can receive more messages if necessary. If necessary means that the Angels shall give you messages if it is necessary to do so. It is not a must that once you pray that you must receive messages.

15. The messages may come on another day, or while you are busy doing some other things.

16. Do not allow people to push you into prophesying.

17. Do not join the false and deceptive ministers, who are prophesying when the Lord has not spoken.

18. Always prepare yourself for ministration, by praying for guidance and revelations many days before the prayer, worship or event.

19. Where necessary, ask for directives, guidance or prayer points, from the head or senior ministers.

20. When Angels come ministering in the midst of the congregation, you should watch, to learn from what the Angels do, or ask them questions.

21. Use the same method that Jesus used. When people come to you, ask them what they want, the purpose of their coming. This idea of always delivering messages immediately people come in for counseling is misleading so many ministers of God. They now seek and use so many types of demonic powers, in order to belong to the trending prophets and visioners. And people blindly follow and obey these false prophets without knowing that their prophetic powers are not from God.

22. In your everyday prayers, remember others, especially those in needs and those having problems. The more you pray for people, the more you receive prophetic messages about them and revelations on how to solve their problems.

23. In some cases, give the person prayers to do. Ask the person to come back after some days or after completing the prayers. By then, the Angels may reveal certain things to you about them.

24. You should know that God reveals to everybody concerning the person’s life and work. Therefore, you can ask the person to narrate the dreams, visions and trance, which he has received.
