 If you Miss The

Covenant of God,

Your Ministry Will Die!

/ Pastors of Promise

 

 / Ann's Review (2013)

/ After Reading A Book

of Jack Hayford!

 

 

/ By Priscilla

 

The Christian life is

to know God, to know ourselves,

and to understand the world

we live in.

 

 

Pastor Jack Hayford, has

moral authority and spiritual

authority as a leader of

the renewal of the church,

 

 

and he possesses sincerity

and faithfulness with

extraordinary intelligence,

special talents and skills.

 

 

He is definitely a  minister

with the covenant of God.

 

 

He pursues a dynamic life

with a sense of balance,

 

 

and shows us that he

is faithfully carrying out

 his pastoral ministry

 through his own writings.

 

 

The purpose of this

book is to ask, 

 

 

“What is the basis

for the minister on this earth

to bear abundant fruit in

his ministry?”

 

 

Also, for this purpose,

it correctly suggests

 

 

and informs what kind

of mindset the minister

should have.

 

 

With such an attitude of heart,

all the ministers can bear

fruit in themselves,

 

 

their hearts, their families,

their married lives, their studies,

and in their walks with God.

 

 

They can also bear fruit

in all their lives, including

personal counseling,

church

 

 

and public leadership,

dealing with men and women,

relationships with staff, and

access to the community.

 

 

To this end, he emphasizes that

ministers should be models

of diligence, sincerity

(faithfulness) for the Lord,

and loyalty to serve the church.

 

 

A minister who has maintained

his position of faithfulness

in God's amazing grace must

have seriously thought about

 

 

how to use God's work

effectively and practically.

 

 

With this question,

the author offers us

several ways.

 

 

1. He informs us that the

minister has his responsibility

to make men into husbands

 

 

or fathers who truly serve

God through biblical training.

 

 

2. He tells us that the minister

should act as a map,

instructing his saints to avoid

obstacles in the desert.

 

 

3. Through this book,

he teaches a methodology

to go through the pastoral

process with sincerity

and leadership.

 

 

4. He wrote this book

with a personal depth for

leaders called by God.

 

 

5. He comforts and encourages

them to become ministers

with responsibility.

 

 

God has given ministers

the great covenant of God

in this age,

 

 

and his writings come to us

 as a practical guide to 

help the kingdom of

God be fulfilled.

 

 

Therefore it is most

important for us to correctly

recognize the position

 

 

and office of the minister

from the author's viewpoint.

 

 

My husband planted

a church with me in 1996

and now, 7 years later,

in 2013, as I'm writing this,

 

 

whenever I look back on

our ministry so far,

 

 

I cannot but testify that

God’s providence is

so amazing.

 

 

Although

it is a short period.

 

 

Here are conclusions

I have come to through

our church.

 

 

The church must be

in a ministry controlled

by God the Holy Spirit, 

the absolute standard.

 

 

In addition, in order to

become a leader of

competent service,

 

 

the minister must come

before God with trust,

humility,

 

 

and obedience

above all else.

 

 

One thing we must keep

in mind is that if we miss

God's covenant while doing

ministry, our ministry

can be destroyed.

 

 

Through various experiences

throughout my recent pastoral

ministry, this book has served

as a breath of  fresh air for me,

who was spiritually depressed

 

 

and fed up with the common

affairs of human relationships

and the church.

 

 

Sometimes I cry

because I am weak,

but from now on,

 

 

I will not give in to this

and will stand up again

by relying on Jesus.

 

 

In the arms

of the Almighty God,

 

 

I will be restored again

as a minister who reaffirms

God's call to possess

the covenant of God,

 

 

and I will have to straighten

my heart with the comfort

of the Lord and guard my

heart even more!

 

 

"Above all else, guard

your heart, for it is the

wellspring of life."

(Proverbs 4:23)

 

 

God has made his mind

in advance from the

beginning of the ages,

 

 

and has called my husband

and me as servants in turn.

What will our duty as

servants be?

 

 

"Be sure you know the

condition of your flocks,

give careful attention

to your herds."

(Proverbs 27:23)

 

 

I had supported

my husband's ministry

for 7 years after planting

the church,

 

 

and I have been finally

called as a servant.

 

 

How important it is

to live with the words

of God's covenant  that

 

 

He has also allowed me

to write on the tablet

of my heart!

 

 

Of the words of God's

covenant given every day,

 

 

there is a scripture

of 'Rhema', which my

husband has liked

all the time.

 

 

"Do your best to present

yourself to God as one approved,

a workman who does not

need to be ashamed

 

 

and who correctly

handles the word of truth."

(2Tim 2:15)

 

 

My priority is to help

my husband who is already

pursuing the life of a shepherd,

servant, and manager

who keeps the flock.

 

 

And in order to be taken

as another servant of God,

I will do my best to be a faithful

servant of God in my life.

 

 

God, who called me,

said that he would use me

who was not good enough,

 

 

so I entered the Probationary

Pastor Training Course

according to His will.

 

 

I am only thankful,

believe in him, respond with

Amen, and move forward.

 

 

"But he knows the way

that I take; when he has

tested me, I will come

forth as gold."

(Job 23:10)

 

 

Therefore, I don't need to

be afraid that God calls

me and trains me.

 

 

Also, I must be alert

and correct my posture,

 

 

and no matter what happens,

I must never let go of the

words of God's covenant

with me!

 

 

-Hallellujah!

 

 

Amen
