MEASURING THE MATURITY AND MINISTRY

Beloved, we are at a time where we should look closely into the type of ministry that the Christians are offering to the world, particularly Christian leaders. Here are is what Prophet Dr. Bill Hamon came up with in regard to character and charisma of our leaders.

He crafted the 10Ms for measuring maturity and ministry as: MANHOOD, MATURITY, MINISTRY, MESSAGE, MORALITY, MARRIAGE, METHODS, MOTIVES, MONEY & MANNERS. How do we minister rate in these matters? How do we manifest each one of them? Every time I preach in his church in Florida, USA, I am amazed and blessed by the quality of ministry and ministers in that house. I believe that time has come to give shape to our ministries.

I am encouraging us to become PRACTITIONERS of true Christian and ministry principles and our impact will be far reaching. Apostle Peter adds thus:

(2 Peter 1: 2) Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, (3) according as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory and virtue, (4) through which He has given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, so that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (5) But also in this very thing, bringing in all diligence, filling out your faith with virtue, and with virtue, knowledge; (6) and with knowledge self-control, and with self-control, patience, and with patience, godliness, (7) and with godliness, brotherly kindness, and with brotherly kindness, love. (2Pe 1:8) For if these things are in you and abound, they make you to be neither idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. (9) For he in whom these things are not present is blind and cannot see afar off and has forgotten that he was purged from his sins in the past. (10) Therefore, brothers, rather be diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you do these things, you shall never fall.

May this refresh you mightily in Jesus name.
