HOW CAN WE BE MORE EFFECTIVE AND SUCCESSFUL IN OUR MINISTRY?
by Patriarch. John Williams
 
One can be very effective and successful in the Ministry of their Calling: 

· By Being well versed in Word of God 

· By Receiving the Revelation Knowledge of the Word of God 

· By Being Anointed Richly by the Holy Spirit 

· By Obeying the Word of God 

· By Operating the Gifts of the Holy Spirit 

· By Appropriating the Promises of God by Faith 

· By Demonstrating the Characteristics of Jesus (by bearing the Fruit of the Spirit) 

· By Having a close Relationship with God 

· By Flowing with the Holy Spirit and being Led by the Holy Spirit 

· By Living a Holy and Righteous Life 

· By Having Peace, Joy and Courage all the times 

· By Getting a Multitude of Godly Counsel
Things to be Avoided:
· Just copying or repeating what others are doing

· Doing what others are just because it is attractive and profitable

· Duplicating Ministries where it is not needed

· Getting Pride or being Proud when there is success in the Ministry

· Continuing to live in Sin

· By being attracted by the glamour and popularity in Ministry

· Not entering into a Covenant relationship with God by seeking popularity in fame

· By living in Sin

· Making exaggerated statements about the status, size and results of the Ministries

· Not performing on stage, seeking popularity

· Not using mass communications or marketing strategies to attract more members or disciples in their Ministries rather than for Jesus

· Not having Jurisdictional disputes

· Not striving to make the Ministry big in terms of number of members and the amount of Revenue

· Building ones own Kingdom and not God's Kingdom

· Using more staff, revenue and resources for interior decorations and expansions of their own Ministries and Facilities
  of their Infrastructure

· Being internally oriented and not externally oriented

· Not being missions minded in terms of supporting foreign missions as much as they should

· Getting involved in Foreign Missions as a tokenism and capitalizing on it to achieve their own  Goals by making to much of propaganda and making exaggerated and false claims

· Not trusting or treating equally God's Servants of other cultures even though their integrity and ministry are unquestionably genuine

· Having a tendency to develop their own ministry center of operations in overseas rather than supporting or network with other ministries through whom more can be accomplished at a much lower cost

· Secluding and Isolating their ministry, if they can operate successfully with their own resources

· Competing with other ministries to get a greater share of funds, members, followers and supports

· Keeping for decades, the members of the Church and exploding them without developing, equipping and releasing them to be engaged in a more meaningful and fulfilling ministry

· Not having a Spiritual Father or not taking a multitude of counsel
