Effective ministry
Exodus 18:17 Moses' father-in-law replied, "What you are doing is not good. 18 You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone
23 If you do this and God so commands, you will be able to stand the strain, and all these people will go home satisfied."
24 Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said. 25 He chose capable men from all Israel and made them leaders of the people, officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. 26 They served as judges for the people at all times. The difficult cases they brought to Moses, but the simple ones they decided themselves.
I'm here to talk about being Effective!
Is our serving Effective??
I mean, Moses didn't see it that time, he thought he'll do it himself..which was Good..but it wasn't Effective!
After he chose to appoint other people, only then did things start to work better, and Everyone (not some) will be satisfied!=)
God didn't mean for us to do everything ourselves..if yes..He wouldn't have had to create sooo many people for different ministries already!
Like i said before, when our load of Fishes gets too heavy, we call over our friends to help us! =D
So after Moses did what his father in law told him to, thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens got served better.
So is our serving effective? Are we united? can we trust each other? i was Talking to God about it, and He said there were people Who Actually Wanted to serve as well, but it was only when Moses appointed them did they get to serve.=)
So Who out there do you think Wants to serve, and will contribute greatly to the ministry?! =)
Because we are Effective people!and Affective! lolz!
