What Message are You Bringing to Your Ministry?


 YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE PRIVILEGE TO BE A LEADER. 
You have been called by the living God of all creation to set the tone for the ministry you are involved with. Step back and ask yourself what kind of message am I communicating? 

BE A LIVING EXAMPLE 
The Lord has chosen you to be His mouthpiece. The sounds that exude from you should be uplifting, encouraging and inspirational. Because you are in a position that is considered leadership many will be looking to you for a living example. Wow! This is actually pretty important! 

STARTING YOUR DAY  
Beginning each day in prayer and reading God’s Word are essential. Thanking the Lord for the new day and inviting him to participate with you throughout will give you vision and stamina to succeed. 

MAKE A PLAN TO MOVE FORWARD 
Don’t fall into the trap of complaining that there is too much to do. Rejoice that you are counted worthy to represent the Lord in everything. You can allow yourself to be buried or you can conquer the hill of tasks one step at a time. Rejoice as you move forward even if it feels like slow motion. 

DIVERSE GIFTING’S BRING STRENGTH 
Recognize those working beside you. God has gifted them in unique ways that will bring depth to your programs. Thank the Lord for the diverse individuals that complete your ministry.  Ask God how to use their gifting’s for His glory and honor. Remember you are not alone. 

TRY SMILING! 
As you work together you can create a wonderful atmosphere of fun, laughter, joy and renewal while moving forward in your busyness. God has called this ministry into being and desires to accomplish His goal and purpose. Prune faces that portray anxiety can actually stall out your work. 

PREVENT BURN OUT 
Stay true to the calling and re-evaluate the things you are doing. Are they truly benefiting? As you find God’s direction and stick to it you will give healthy direction and burnout will stay at bay. 

MEDITATING ON THE WORD AND LIVING IT WILL BRING ABOUT GREAT RESULTS. COLOSSIANS 3:16 GIVES INSPIRATION: 
“Let the Word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” 

TODAY’S TAKE-AWAY: 
*Start your day reading the Word and praying. 

*Check your attitude, are you grateful or grouchy? 

*Encourage your staff by bringing joy into the workplace. 

*Know that if God has called this ministry into being, He will continue to help, direct and provide.
