clcgh.org Building The Capacity Of Christian Leaders, Equipping The Saints For The Work Of Ministry, Redirecting Straying Christians To The Sound Knowledge Of Christ
1. Know God Before You Preach for Him
Don’t rush into platforms without building a private altar. Public ministry without a secret place with God will make you shallow and vulnerable. Your anointing flows from intimacy, not activity.
2. Stay Humble and Teachable
No matter how much fire or revelation you carry, remain a learner. Listen to elders, submit to correction, and grow in wisdom. Pride is the quickest way to be silenced by God.
3. Preach the Word, Not Opinions
Culture shifts, trends fade, but the Word of God endures forever. Build your ministry on Scripture, not hype. Study diligently (2 Tim 2:15). People don’t need entertainment—they need truth.
4. Focus on Souls, Not Fame
Don’t measure success by likes, followers, or invitations. Heaven measures success by obedience and faithfulness. Your goal is to win souls and disciple them for Christ, not to trend on social media.
5. Guard Your Character
Gifting may open doors, but only character will keep you there. Live holy, walk in integrity, and avoid shortcuts. Protect your name, your purity, and your testimony.
6. Value the Local Church
Never despise starting small. Honour your pastor, serve faithfully, and build where God plants you. A true shepherd grows by caring for sheep, not chasing platforms.
7. Pray More Than You Preach
Prayer is your lifeline. If you spend more time preparing sermons than seeking God, you’re running on empty. Power comes from the prayer closet.
8. Be Patient With the Process
Ministry is not a sprint—it’s a lifelong journey. Don’t force doors to open; let God lift you in His time. The making of a man or woman of God takes years of refining.
In short: Love God deeply, stay humble, preach truth, win souls, guard your life, value the church, pray constantly, and wait for God’s timing.
