: MINISTRY BEYOND FOUR WALLS :<br />

Ministry in contemporary times<br />

h a s e q u a l l y o u t g r o w n<br />

restrictions. I am of the opinion<br />

that we would not fulfil the Great<br />

Commission solely through<br />

Church Ministry because the<br />

world will not come to your<br />

church, yet they need our Jesus.<br />

Workplace Ministry is God's tool<br />

for global evangelism. Until we<br />

take this Gospel work into our<br />

various careers, where the world<br />

is willing to meet us and transact<br />

with us, we cannot reach and win<br />

them. Our Christ-like lifestyle in<br />

our everyday career and business<br />

life is the gospel that will win the<br />

world to Jesus.<br />

Hello Pastor, as a Minister, you<br />

must think outside the box if the<br />

work committed into your care<br />

must expand. You are not called<br />

to shepherd a few, but a perishing<br />

world you come across every day<br />

and at every turn. Satisfaction<br />

with the few you preach to on<br />

Sundays is a bend to mediocrity.<br />

Jesus has more for you!<br />

What are some Strategic Steps to<br />

take Ministry Work beyond<br />

Restrictions?<br />

PUBLICATIONS: Tracts,<br />

Newsletters and Ministry<br />

magazines, like this one you are<br />

holding; travel farther than<br />

always planned. When contents<br />

and production are detailed and<br />

in quality, you are sure that<br />

people will read every single<br />

copy you set out. Launch a<br />

Church or Ministry Newsletter or<br />

Magazine and reproduce your<br />

m e s s a g e s , r e v e l a t i o n s ,<br />

testimonies and articles. Let<br />

more people know what God is<br />

doing in your midst. More souls<br />

will come to Christ through your<br />

quality prints than you can<br />

imagine.<br />

SOCIAL MEDIA: You want to<br />

reach the world? Then do<br />

Ministry via social media. If your<br />

budget can accommodate it,<br />

employ a Christian professional<br />

to maximize your social media<br />

h a n d l e s a n d k e e p t h e m<br />

productive. Set up accounts and<br />

pages on Facebook, Twitter,<br />

Instagram, Pinterest, Whatsapp,<br />

etc; the people God wants you to<br />

reach are waiting for you there.<br />

Be in the face of the world, get<br />

Jesus loud on every platform.<br />

“<br />

Our Christ-like lifestyle in<br />

our everyday career and<br />

business life is the gospel<br />

that will win the world<br />

to Jesus.<br />

”<br />

MEDIA PRODUCTIONS: I<br />

a m s t u n n e d w h e n I v i s i t<br />

Churches to minister and the<br />

messages are not recorded.<br />

Pastors preach every Sunday and<br />

these revelations are not captured<br />

and redistributed for the reedification<br />

of the congregation.<br />

There is no Church that wants to<br />

grow her people spiritually, that<br />

will not give attention to Media<br />

productions because the faith of<br />

the people will come by hearing<br />

and hearing of the Word beyond<br />

POSSIBILITIES : 3<br />

Sunday service. It is the Word<br />

that is recorded and produced<br />

into audio and video formats that<br />

can be re-heard. Set up your<br />

Media department, Train the<br />

personnel and equip them for<br />

productive service in Sound<br />

Engineering, Mp3 and video<br />

productions.<br />

RADIO AND TELEVISION:<br />

While you must work by clear<br />

Divine instructions whether or<br />

not to host Radio and/or<br />

Television sessions, these media<br />

are very productive and efficient<br />

for carrying out the work of the<br />

Ministry. Though at certain<br />

levels, they can be a bit<br />

expensive, you must be willing<br />

to throw yourself in when you<br />

have gotten God's go ahead.<br />

As a corps member some years<br />

back, God instructed me to get on<br />

TV in Benue state, Nigeria. The<br />

following day I went to NTA<br />

Makurdi to enquire. The cost of<br />

getting on air beat my faith to the<br />

ground. I definitely could not<br />

raise the cash. After about two<br />

weeks, I went back to God to<br />

report my lack of sufficient faith<br />

and the LORD instructed me to<br />

go back to NTA and ask for free<br />

session. I did and got it. I was on<br />

TV, preaching free. Whatever<br />

God has called you to do; He<br />

wants to take you beyond the<br />

four walls of denominationalism,<br />

t r a d i t i o n , r e l i g i o n a n d<br />

mediocrity. The world must hear<br />

about Jesus. Go for it. God bless<br />

you. Arise!
