WHAT IS THE MINISTRY OF HELPS:
The work of any ministry is accomplished when an individual allows their center of vision and concern to be moved from themselves to others. When an individual has an understanding of T.E.A.M.W.O.R.K. (Together Everyone Achieves More) concept, they will know that their position on the Team is secondary to the Team effort, which is primary.
Acts 6: 2-7 is the narrative of the beginning of the ministry of helps in the New Testament Church. The ministry of waiting tables set the Apostles free to do the work of the Gospel and was the beginning of bringing order to the church. This is one of the foundational scriptures, which demonstrates “helps” ministry in the New Testament Church.
The Ministry of Helps:
- Brought order to confusion.
- Provided a controlled flow to meet needs.
- Liberated the Apostles to follow God, not people.
- Set an example for others to follow.
- Was instituted by the Holy Spirit.
- Provided a training ground for ministry.
- Supplied the needs to the Body.
- Demonstrated the love of God at work within the Body.
- Stopped the voices of dissention within the Christian community.
- Demonstrated God’s love to the world.
I Corinthians 14:40 “…Let all things be done properly and in an orderly manner.”
The Ministry of Helps sustains, provides and allows the ministry and vision God has given the Pastor to proceed in a proper and orderly manner.
