Five-Fold Ministry
Support
Many of the Five-fold Ministers selflessly give their time and energy to others.
How many have someone they can confide in? More importantly, how many of those in Ministry today have unresolved emotional events that are hindering or affecting their Ministry?
We are familiar with the principle of "transference of spirits" in ministry. We rarely relate it to what the Minister is transferring. If you deal daily with heartache, pain, overwhelming depression, anxiety or any self-medicating coping mechanisms, you don't want to transfer that to someone else.
Emotional healing is within reach and can bring a great release of long-term burdens that will allow you to be free and able to be fruitful again in ministry.
We have all been there. However, I have been called to Support, intercede for and help the Five-fold Ministers to be restored and refreshed so they can be more effective, not just as ministers but in EVERY aspect of their lives.
One final thought here, sometimes it is about "finding the balance" between who you are and what you are called to do for the Lord. He does not want ministry to be all consuming.
The TRUE Order of God:
God first
Spouse second
Children third
Occupation/Ministry
Many problems arise because our household is out of order. It is very challenging to keep the balance and yet it is what the Lord requires.
Something to think about.
God bless you as you continue to work as His laborers. We are simply shepherds in His sheepfold.
