FIVE TYPES OF PEOPLE THAT WE NEED IN OUR MINISTRY
We need men and women who are assets to the Kingdom of God. Behind every able man there are
other able men. No able man stands alone. Because if you do ministry alone you would get worn out.
➖ The number one(1) is too small a number to achieve anything of significance.
John Maxwell
➖ Great burden bearers makes ministry great.
➖ Great vision calls for Great burden bearers.
➖ Those who are not burden bearers often become a burden to the church.
➖ While some are busy for God, others are just busy bodies.
➖ Title holders are plenty but burden bearers are few.
➖ If you surround yourself with people who are not seeing what you are seeing, after a while they
would want you to start seeing what they are seeing.

1. PARTNERS: Luke 10:2
Partners are asset (people who see the church as theirs and bear the burden).
➖ A partner is someone who identifies with you and carries you in his heart.
Philippians 1:7
➖ If you have someone in your heart, your treasure will be there.
➖ Partners help to carry the vision of the work of ministry in their heart. Colossians 4:18, Philipians 4:3
➖ You can't toil for anything if your heart is not there.
➖ The blessing of the gospel and the burden of the gospel must go together. Philippians 4:15-17
➖ The work of the ministry involves give and take.
➖ Never do ministry to impress people. If you are not ready to serve please, check out.

2. THOSE WHOSE GIFTS DO NOT AFFECT THEIR LOYALTY. People graced and talented but submit to the
leading of God

➖ Some people are talented but they are not usable nor valuable because they are not submissive.
➖ There is no democracy in the body of Christ.
➖ In God's kingdom there is permission for just one order, God's authority.
➖ The values of God are not open for debates. Samuel 23:8, 1 Chronicles 11:10.
➖ Don't let personal ambition drive you. Rather, the purpose and instructions of God should be your
driver.

3. PEOPLE WHO WILL MAKE UP FOR MY DEFICIENCIES AND WEAKNESSES
➖ What you have does not make you better than me, it makes you different from me. It means what
you have, I need and what I have you also need.
➖ Don't use your strength to ridicule anyone because everyone has their area of strength.
DECLARATION: I refuse to be intimidated by anybody because of their strength.
➖ Don't use your strength to intimidate anyone rather use it to encourage people. Exodus 17:13
➖ The success of a team is far more important than the success of the individual.

4. THOSE WHO WILL CATCH THE SPIRIT OF THE COMMISSION
For you to be effective at working in a ministry, you need to bond with the core values of that ministry.
Philippians 3:17
Some people are confused in ministry because they are looking and trying to imitate too many people.
People live by different standards. Follow what was modelled for you by who God placed in charge of
you.

5. HARVEST HANDS - These are people that work. Harvest hands bring the increase, harvest hands are
not idle but are proactive in their work.

PRAYER: Lord make me a harvest hand in Your Kingdom
