Strategies For A Successful Evangelican Ministry

By Laura Rogers


Spreading the gospel is one of the greatest commandments that Jesus Christ gave as a mandate before ascending to heaven. Through various activities and services in the church, Christians obey the commandments. A commitment and dedication to this great commission is needed. Some of the secrets of a good evangelican ministry are discussed here.

For instance, serving God by developing a cordial relationship with Him is essential if the believers' gospel outreaches and ministries must thrive. God gives them a good sense of direction as a reward to continuity in abiding in His presence. Participating in activities in the church can be so tasking and in order to succeed, and avoid obstacles and impediments, recognizing the creator of the universe is very vital.

The spiritual strength and ability needed to grow an evangelical ministry are very important. Believers who do not have the strength, knowledge and ability have greater tendencies of giving up. Fervent prayers and fasting at regular intervals are proven ways to avoid backsliding. Devotion and consistent studies on the word of God are also relevant.

Choosing a definite plan of action is deemed necessary. Deciding on whether it will be a prophetic outreach, prayers and intercession groups is dependent on the spiritual gift of the individual. Having a clear purpose and vision will contribute a lot in ensuring that a lot of concentration and devotion to practice are not neglected.

In some denominations, it is a general rule that one of the qualifications that a believer must possess is the regular attendance and graduation from a recognized bible college. According to the elders and authorities, it has been asserted that completing a bible course, degree and programs in the prestigious institution will promote the spiritual growth and build the Christian's faith and also make the believer learn more about the scriptures.

It must also be noted that the ministers of the gospel are vulnerable to attack from the enemy. The devil's mission on earth is to ensure that the kingdom of God is not promoted. As a result of this, it is very necessary to guard against the principalities and powers and the rulers of darkness by practicing godly Christian living. Believers all over the world should practice what they teach their fellow brethren. A good and exemplary lifestyle is a workable strategy for victorious Christians.

Team building and cooperation is also a very great tool for the enhancement of outreaches. The prophets, teachers, counselors, and intercessors must possess leadership traits; otherwise, team building may appear difficult. Traits such as tolerance, faithfulness, integrity, and truthfulness are vivid examples. A very effective listening skill must also be inherent in the individual.

The minister must summon the courage to start as soon as possible. Delays in making this dream a reality must be avoided because it may lead to an entire change of mind. People die every day and are sent to hell fire. In order to reduce the rate of these perished souls in hell, Christians should be encouraged to start with whatever resources they have. Afterall, ministries must not be carried out in large buildings and cathedrals. It can also take place in small gatherings, rented rooms, and apartments. The presence of two or more individuals will also attract God's presence and total support.
