#MINISTRYMATTERS GIVE PEOPLE A BENEFIT OF DOUBT!!! (Wisdom Key To Managing Relationships In Ministry) By Pastor Bimbo Animashaun  Dear Minister, don't always preempt people or interpret their innocent and innocuous actions out of context — this is a basic rule in managing relationships in ministry.  Learn to hear from people. Learn to give people a benefit of doubt. A couple of months ago, I taught at our Weekly WORKERS' SPECIAL TRAINING (WST) on the topic, "THE DANGERS OF ASSUMPTION IN LEADERSHIP." From ministry experience, I realize that a lot of people assume what is not real and true, including ministers thereby developing ill feelings against innocent folks. Many precious relationships in ministry have hit the rocks because of this grave error; many father-son and friend-friend relationships in ministry have been fractured because of this colossal error. Yet the Word tells us very clearly: 1 THESSALONIANS 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. This ...

*A GOOD WOMAN, MAKES A GOOD WIFE, AND A GOOD WIFE BECOMES A GOOD MOTHER.* *A GOOD MOTHER GIVES BIRTH TO GOOD CHILDREN. IF YOU WANT TO BE ONE, EMULATE THESE STEPS BELLOW:* 1). Never raise your voice for any reason to your husband. Its a sign of disrespect. 2). Don't expose your husband's weaknesses to your family and friends. It will bounce back at you. You are each other's keeper. 3). Never use attitudes and moods to communicate to your husband, you never know how your husband will interpret them. Defensive women don't have a happy home. 4). Never compare your husband to other men, you've no idea what their life is all about. If you attack his Ego, his Love for you will diminish. 5). Never ill treat your husband's friends because you don't like them, the person who's supposed to get rid of them is your husband. 6). Never forget that your husband married you, not your maid or anyone else. Do your duties. 7). Never assign anyone to give attention to your h...

EIGHT WAYS TO  PREPARE FOR  MARRIAGE!  I've observed during my counseling session with the married who have challenges in their marriage that many did not prepare for marriage but only wedding. This also applies to many singles I've counseled.  1.ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE  Knowledge acquisition is very paramount in preparing for marriage. Some are of the school of thought that experience is the best teacher when it comes to marriage, but I would tell you it's not because you could possibly learn from others mistakes through knowledge acquisition. A married man came to me sometimes ago for counseling and I asked him how many books he has read in his five years and above marriage, he said he has not read one?😭😭😭 How can you acquire knowledge? 1⃣ Reading relationship and marriage books. I expect you to have read a minimum of 15 books about relationship and marriage before getting married.  2⃣ Listening to relationship and marriage messages. 3⃣ Attending relationshi...

MESSENGERS 'WITHOUT' MESSAGES A Messenger without a 'message' is a criminal. MINISTRY is not about ACCUMULATING ranks, titles or jumping from one pulpit to another in the name of invitations.  When you closely observe and listen to MOST of our self-styled MINISTERS today, you will easily discover that their so called SERMONS actually lack CONTENTS. They will be boldly parading themselves as 'REVIVALISTS' and 'EVANGELISTS', but all they know how to do mainly is shouting out meaningless and empty prayer points. *It is all about 'if you can shout '7' thunderous AMEN, then so and so will happen. LIARS! Go and observe most of all these very NOISY PROPHETS also, they are experts in spending HOURS on the pulpits dishing out their FAKE, FABRICATED, PREMEDITATED, CALCULATED and MANUFACTURED visions. Where is CHRIST in their Messages? Where are the words of Life, Santification, Consecration, Purity, Divine Blessings and Passion in THEIR SERMONS? Wher...

  THE MESSAGE, THE MESSENGER AND THE AUDIENCE.* MESSAGE: God is the giver of all gifts, James 1:17 says, every good and perfect gifts are from above and coming down from the Father of light. God is the giver of all gifts but He will never give you a *script,* He can only give you a *message.* There are more than one billions messages with God, infact, no one can preach the whole scripture till heaven pass by because the word is new every day. God gives message through Revelation, Inspiration, Information, dream and other Spiritual areas. When you have good script (the message)  but the messenger is not good to deliver the message very well.  The message would be affected negatively.  *MESSENGER:* When we are talking about the messenger, you yourself is the messenger.  The messenger who is going to deliver the message to the audience would determine the manifestation and the effectiveness of the message.  The way you interpret your drama with the help of the...

* DISCLAIMER FOR MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL * Anchor scripture: MATTHEW 4:1-11 Jesus was led by the spirit (of God) to the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. In this context, Jesus may not have known that the reason why he was being led to the wilderness was for the devil to tempt him. * As a minister *, no matter where God is leading you or where he has led you to, be patient enough and endure enough to trust the process. The purpose why you're where God has led you today may not be for rosy or suitable condition so, let's be patient enough to trust him without complain even if he tarries. Jesus fasted 40 days and nights expecting what or the reason why he was led there yet, the reason (temptation) didn't come because he was still strong enough to hold himself * but as soon as he was hungry, the temptation came in *. Do you ever thought why???? * As a minister *, you need not to be ignorant of the devices and wiles of the devil. The devil is cunny and smart in his ...
