RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL AND FULFILLING MINISTRY

RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL AND FULFILLING MINISTRY series

" Colossians 4:17
And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it."

PART 2;  ADMINISTRATION

" 1 Corinthians 12:5
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord."

God never mentions words without any of them having significance. Most people don't realize it and so place value on some word of God instead of all. Our lord Jesus Christ instructed us differently:

" Luke 4:4
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but BY EVERY WORD of God."

In ministry one of the word we must place importance on is 'Administration'.

Administration is the process or activity of running a business, organization on a daily basis etc.

Every ministry operates on different gifts and every gifts need administration for it to be long lasting and yielding the best results. Check out ministries without administration and you will notice they lack strength in having sustained success and growth. Administration makes a ministry very very responsible and people love to identify with any work that looks responsible and is responsible.

Administration doesn't allow only the leader to be the burden bearer and also ensures every burden of the ministry are well handled by everyone necessary (Team). Jesus Christ choose a team before He began ministry and that shows He believes in administration. A good administrator is great blessing to any ministry he or she can better serve well.

With administration you have office hours which must be taken seriously by even the leader in the ministry and the workers. No ministry is well organized without administration.

There's a huge difference with having people around as protocols to protect you and having a administration in your ministry. The time usages, running of the ministry and also different assignment to be done daily are part of what an administrator takes daily responsibility of and ensures are carried out successfully.

No matter how anointed you are and how powerful your gift or gifts are you can have a solid a ministry establishment without solid administration in place.

Your own ministry administration is free to be different from others:

" 1 Corinthians 12:5
And there are DIFFERENCES OF ADMINISTRATIONS, but the same Lord."

Do you have administration in place in your ministry? It's not late to begin.

With administration you can be able to better attend to every aspects of life which are 1) Personal life (spiritual, physical etc) 2) Family life, 3) Ministry life and 4) Relationship life (friends, colleagues etc). It is administration that helps a minister of the gospel to have balance.

God bless you.
