tVB 33:1 CHURCH WORK: FULFILLING YOUR PASTOR’S VISION



tVB 33:1
CHURCH WORK TRAINING:
FULFILLING YOUR PASTOR’S VISION

some years ago, I was invited to speak at a Church’s Worker's Training Programme. One of the questions during the interactive session was, 'How does a church member help the Pastor fulfill his God-given vision?' I would like to share
with you what some simple steps to fulfilling your Pastor's vision.

Step 1: Understand the Pastoral Office

The pastoral office is one of the leadership ministries appointed in the Body of Christ by the Lord Jesus in Ephesians 4. The Pastor is the chief administrator of the local assembly.

According to Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, “He is the one who gets the blame when things go wrong.” God has made him (or her) responsible for the well being of the church community. This responsibility applies to both pioneer and supporting pastors.

Step 2: Change 'the' Pastor into 'My Pastor'

People go to great extents to personalize their gifts and property. Anyone
Personalizing anything not given to him is labeled a thief. You naturally call it yours. She's 'your wife', they are 'your children', it is 'your car'. The implications of this are interesting. You claim access to the benefits those persons or property can give. Now apply this to your Pastor.

You need to consciously recognize 'the pastor' as your pastor. It is only then that the grace and anointing upon him can benefit you.

Step 3: Locate Your Position For Service Within Your Pastor's Vision

Romans 12:4-8 shows the different service gifts in the local assembly. Locate which operates in your life. It will be a guide to finding your own unit of best fit to serve in. You shouldn't be a guest in your family house.

Many years ago, I had the opportunity to live with a lovely family. Everything was done for me, and I was having the time of my life. But one morning it dawned on me that I wasn't living in a hotel and so needed to graft myself into that family. I found something to do. I would wake up early enough everyday to get one of the cars cleaned and ready for the day. Four years later, the mother of the house was telling her friends that her son (that's me) had graduated from the University of Benin.

The Work In The Church Is Part Of Your
Pastor's Vision, And As Such Getting
Involved Will Be Lending A Very Welcome
Helping Hand.

Your home church is your spiritual family house in a sense. Guests are waited on. Family members wait on other members of the family. Get something doing. The work in the church is part of your Pastor's vision, and as such getting involved will
be lending a very welcome helping hand. According to Rev Buddy Bell, H-E-L-P-S means Having Enough Loving People Serving. You can be such a loving
person.

tVB 46: 1 BUSINESS START-UP: RIGHT HABITS CAN ADVANCE YOU PROFESSIONALLY!

tVB 46: 1 BUSINESS START-UP: THE RIGHT HABITS CAN ADVANCE YOU PROFESSIONALLY!   It was 17th century Blaise Pascal who said, “The strength of a man’s virtue should not be measured by his special exertions, but by his habitual acts”. One can then understand why effectiveness in the workplace is more a product of personal habits than anything else. If you want to get a person proficient in an activity, get him to do it consistently in a routine. It’s called ‘conditioning’. Are there habits that if you possessed today would probably further your professional goals? Why not begin working towards owning them starting today, by routinely performing related actions? For example, if you desire to become a diligent person, you should begin paying more attention to detail. To be a person of integrity, begin keeping your set schedules and promises. Habits become reliable servants when we become wiser masters of our lifestyles. If you don’t want certain issues in your life, then avoid consi

tVB 53: 3 BUSINESS START-UP: USING FEEDBACK TO PREVENT DISRUPTIVE ASSUMPTIONS

tVb 53: 3 BUSINESS START-UP:  PREVENT DISRUPTIVE ASSUMPTIONS Listening is a valuable skill for work-life. It is essential for effective communication across all levels and types of relationships. Problems often arise from actions based on what we assumed was said. It has been said that to 'assume' is 'to make an ass of you and me'. According to Plutarch, “Know how to listen, and you will profit even from those who talk badly.” Unfortunately some talk quite badly in the workplace, and you don't want to be a victim. But how can you ensure that you don't inform an assumption, and how do you avoid working based on an assumption? The solution is in the little word Feedback. Ask confirmatory questions. For example, as a superior seeking feedback, ask, “Are we clear on what the directive is?” and require a verbal response (or even a written response if the issue is a very sensitive one). In fact, it might even serve better to give written instructions on sensitive
