7 Lessons I have Learned from My Ministry over 4 Decades For over 4 decades, I have picked up a number of tips that put my ministry on a firm foundation. I would like to share 7 that I believe to be most needed: 1. Team work = God’s work When we become so full of self that we pick up our ball and go home whenever things do not go our way, we rob Christ and His church the glory due. Sure, it is easier to do our own thing, but God has called us to be fitly framed together (Ephesians 2:21). 2. Anytime is too soon to give up The key to success in the ministry, eldership, Christian service etc is the ability to bear and forebear. There were many occasions in the past 4 decades, especially in the early years that I came close to giving up the ministry. But when I took my attention off ‘self’ and focus on God’s work in prayer, I find the strength to go on (Galatians 6:2-5). 3. Be true to God's word While devoting my life to the ministry, I wanted to secure my salvation as well. In order to fulfil my ministry, I felt I must know the word, understand its message, what God wants of each of us, without adding my opinions or thinking (Romans 3:4). 4. Treat all with respect and none too much Everyone is important. By the same token, no one is more important than another. Through the years, I have strived to be true to God and make decisions based on conscience, and not because I was beholden to any man. 5. Pray Nothing can be achieved without God's blessing. If there is any 'gift' in the ministry that I want to excel more than in any other, it has to be the ability of prayer. 54
6. Do original work Craft it carefully, think through every detail and give it your very best effort. I am so glad that right from the beginning, whether an article, Bible lesson or sermon - I have made it my own work and not the echoed or copied opinions of another. 7. Prepare ahead Be present at least 15 minutes before each event. When members gather for worship, Bible study or an event - the location must be set up, with every detail and preparation ready. I review every event: what is required, who should be there and what I can do, well in advance. 55
