Tips to Grow Your Ministry

Greetings,

 

There is a group of people who the Lord has assigned to you. They are waiting to hear His voice through you and your testimony. I call this group of people your flock.

Yet, I am always surprised at how many ministers really have not identified their flock. There is a continuum of ministry and you must know where you are in the continuum, because this is how you identify your flock.

Here is a mini-teaching on how to identify your flock so your ministry can flow forward and your message can get into the hands of those the Lord has set aside for you.
 

Enjoy!

 

Love,

Ericka

Here are some tips to help you continue growing your ministry outside of the local church:

As a Kingdom Minister, it is critical that you develop tools and resources to keep your flock empowered and moving forward.

 

  1. Pick three from the following list of tools to create:

    Book or eBook
    Teleclass Series (record it, of course)
    DVD
    CD Set
    Online Training Video
    Live Training Event
    Bible Study Series
    Daily Devotionals
    Journal
    Membership Site

  2. Prioritize which tools will take the least amount of time to create with the least amount of overhead.

  3. Set aside specific time every day to complete your tools until they are complete.

  4. Have fun!
     

 

Know Your Flock

Ericka's Speaking & Training

Greetings,

 

What are your waiting for? It is time to release the message the Lord has placed within you to transform and elevate lives.

All-too-often, I hear ministers who are waiting on “a covering” or permission from another person to officially release them into ministry.

You are already covered and released.

You are already covered by the fact that you have been preordained to release the message the Lord has placed within you. The man-made concept of waiting for another person’s approval are traditions of men and rudiments of the world, which are not after Christ (Colossians 2:8).

The Word tells us not to take the covering of another man in Isaiah 30:1 (Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin…”) You are already covered by the Holy Spirit.

Authorization to move in the things of Jesus can only come from Him, not from another person. You will never be punished for following the Holy Spirit.

If you have been waiting for a Pastor or another Minister to give you their blessing or permission, you don’t have to wait anymore.

You have been preordained since before you were in your mother’s womb.

I do strongly believe in accountability as a Minister and the Lord will send the person He has chosen with whom you are to share accountability, go to for advice, and keep you trained in the revelation and truth of the Lord. This person should only be a confirmation to the instruction you have already received directly from the Lord.

Remember, someone operating in the role of a Pastor is not graced to train up, equip and send out ministers into the Body of Christ. This is the role of someone operating in the office of Apostle. And this goes beyond having the title of “Apostle.” They must be a secure individual who has done their self-work and is clear about their role in the Kingdom of God.

You must be careful not to give more control to another person in regards to your ministry than you do to Jesus.

The Apostle the Lord sends you should be led by the Spirit and in alignment with what you are hearing from the Holy Spirit. The Word tells us that in the multitude of counselors there is safety (Proverbs 11:14).

Make sure that the name of the counselor(s) in which you should confide or take advice is given to you by the Lord. Also make sure that they are led of Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

The Lord will let you know the timing He has set aside for your ministry. Here are some steps to guide you along the way:
 

  1. Go to the Lord and ask Him the necessary inner-work you will need to fully prepare for your ministry.

  2. Increase the amount of time you are spending in His presence.

  3. Make sure your heart has been fully purified (which is beyond forgiveness) and your spirit and soul have been cleansed of all unclean spirits and the works of the flesh.

  4. Keep a running list of the questions you have for the Lord. Ask Him your questions and sit still long enough to receive His revelation and answers.

  5. Continue to study more deeply, remove any remaining self-esteem issues, make shifts in your habits and do whatever is necessary to launch your ministry and be a pure vessel for the works of Jesus.


You will feel a release and sense of urgency in your spirit when it is time to share His message in larger and larger numbers.

 

In His Love,

Ericka

with special Bonus Q&A on Thursday, October 13th


It is not enough to have a powerful message from the Lord. He also requires that you get His message into the hands of those you are to impact. This means that you have to not only be a vessel for the works of Jesus, but you must also be a marketing expert.

I call this connecting. And I have learned a TON about it!
It takes a different approach to connect with the Body of Christ. Secular marketing methods must be adapted for the Spirit. I have put these powerful and effective teachings together for a very special upcoming 4-part teleclass that will show you how to easily share your ministry message and impact the lives of more and more people.
