Servir con confianza
Ministerio consejo: servir con confianza
Usted tiene que servir independientemente de lo que otros puedan pensar o decir. ¿Le sabe que el asesino número uno en ser voluntario en el ministerio es la presión de grupo? Amigos pueden hacer que sea difícil para el nuevo voluntario para conseguir servir por muchas razones diferentes. Ellos podrían obstaculizar el equipo, dándoles la “primicia” y la opinión personal de su ministerio. También podrían mejorar un equipo ministerial por la estima o animándonos unos a otros a hacer grandes hazañas. ¿Cómo son sus equipos de ministerio Pastor? ¿Son propicio para el crecimiento de la iglesia? ¿Están drenando en USTED o están atrayendo a los enfermos, perdidos, o hacerse daño; Lo mismo podría preguntó de aquellos en los negocios?
Los hijos de los profetas que estaban en Bet-el, salió a Eliseo, y le dijo: ¿Sabes que Jehová te quitará hoy a tu señor de tu cabeza? Y él dijo: Sí, lo sé; mantenga vosotros vuestra paz. (2 Reyes 2: 3 RV)
¿Cuál es su compromiso como a su campo de ministerio o negocio? ¿Está usted en él para el cheque de pago o estás allí para hacer un impacto. ¿Usted va más allá o hacer el mínimo? Eliseo había hecho estas preguntas de sí mismo, no sólo cuando se burlaban de él. No hace mucho tiempo, cuando no le dijo a su mamá y adiós papá. Cuando él estaba tirando la “escalada” de los equipos de arado que se cometió cuando se desmanteló su medio de vida y se entregó como un holocausto en el campo y con cada dificultad soportó se le aseguró que Dios lo estaba llamando y que continuará el legado de su mentores.
Y Elías le dijo: Quédate, te ruego, aquí; porque el Señor me ha enviado a Jordania. Y él dijo: Vive Jehová, y vive tu alma, que no te dejará. Y ellos dos fueron sucesivamente. (2 Reyes 2: 6 RV)
Había una determinación en Eliseo. La gente necesita que el compromiso de usted! Necesitamos que haciendo lo que haces, porque vamos a morir juntos por su falta. Quiero animar a que este fin de semana como compañeros ministros de poseer esta resolución dentro de ustedes mismos.
Sirva la celebración de su propia, no escuchando opiniones de los demás y tienen que resolver por su ministerio como Eliseo.
Queremos ver a crecer. Estamos creyendo para su cosecha Teresa y yo estamos orando por usted. Salud!

Friday Focus: Serve holding your own.
You have to serve regardless of what others may think or say. Would you know that the number one killer in volunteering in ministry is peer pressure? Friends could make it hard for the new volunteer to get serving for many different reasons. They could hinder the team by giving them the “inside scoop” and personal opinion of their ministry. They could also improve a ministry team by esteeming or encouraging one another to do great exploits. How are your ministry teams Pastor? Are they conducive to church growth? Are they draining on YOU or are they drawing the sick, lost, or hurting; The same could be asked of those in business?
And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth–el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. (2 Kings 2:3 KJV)
What is your commitment like to your field of ministry or business? Are you in it for the paycheck or are you there to make an impact. Do you go the extra mile or do the bare minimum? Elisha had asked these questions of himself, not only when they teased him. no no long ago when he told his mama and daddy goodbye. When he was pulling the “escalade”of plow teams he was committed when he dismantled his livelihood and surrendered it as a burnt offering on the field and with every hardship endured he was assured that God was calling him and he would continue the legacy of his mentor.
And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on. (2 Kings 2:6 KJV)
There was a resolve in Elisha. People need that commitment from you! We need you doing what you do, for we will die together for its lack. I want to encourage you this weekend as fellow ministers to posses this resolve within yourselves.
Serve holding your own, not listening to others opinions and have that resolve for your ministry like Elisha.
We want to see you grow. We are believing for your harvest Teresa and I are praying for you. God bless you!

Moving Forward
Thank you , for reading our post. this was on my mind . i hope you enjoy it.
After putting my son down for the night, and i look at his toys and as my wife is getting ready to shower i look back and think to myself. It has been a good three years. I tell my self that as we make our preparations for our move to the east coast. Yes friends, my career has taken another monumental step. -i moving forward!!
I was praying one night and i felt the Lord was really wanting me to evaluate how much i truly trusted him to take control of my life. i had entrusted everything to Jesus except my career. that was mine. i loved my church family in Oak Harbor WA. i also enjoyed my location. so for me it was win-win.
so fast forward to that night while on deployment in 2011 when i was praying i felt his Holy Spirit impress upon me if i would trust him with my career? i said yes but i was reluctant, for i knew that meant that i did not have a say in where i would want to go. rather, he would direct ( which is another topic altogether). He sent us to Ridgecrest CA. Here we learned several things and met some inspirational people. many of whom we will treasure the rest of our days. T and I felt that this season of our lives was more of God allowing us to “gel” as a family. to develop our family dynamic and to rest for we were non-stop for about nine years straight.
we are rested and have been refreshed. i am now ready to move forward and to fulfill what i believe God has called me to do.
i declare this not out of arrogance but out of humility. so that i may come boldly before the throne of grace rejoicing that the Lord is on my side encouraging us as a family to continue to venture out beyond our level of comfort. to impart to those we impact. Pray for the hurting. reaching the world.
i want you to make it every day. celebrate the wins NO MATTER HOW SMALL. Get rest needed to function. love the unlovable and help the misfits fit.
