The Vision For 'My Father's Business' in the Glory!

There is a highly integrous vision in the ministry of 'My Father's Business' and full of glory! It is a ministry within the church encompassing much leadership of the Church and Elders Offices. This is a busy place that diligently oversees the following 7 areas of the church: Economy, Giving, Lands, Safety, Ministry, Leadership and Worship! 

These are offices of oversight, ones of interaction with those they are in leadership of the church...deemed positive, encouraging and responsible in loving others to the upward call.

In each area of oversight they give encouragements in the form of what is called 'an appraisal' (though instead of an estimate of the value that has already been assessed by God of one's worth...rather a fellowship meal of appreciation for their known worth) a yearly praise report over a meal that dotes on the one in ministry with a greater grace... spurring them on, sharing and engaging in mutual growth. This is a meal that leaves behind a residue of blessing that fuels all in attendance for a blessed year going forward! Required of you in this ministry is that you must 'be a somebody that has found it within yourself to make people feel like they are somebody'...because they are far more than that!

You are made for greatness as a part of this ministry. You have a person that loves, encourages and walk with not only willingness but with diligence...often busy, but so in love with what you do! No one will be able to hold your leadership place here. A far cry from 'you are replaceable mentality' that is not even honored as a part of ministry. You are valued, you know your worth and know how to bring up others and care for that which you love.

Luke 2:49 says...'...Why did you seek me? Did you not know that I must be about my Father's business?

Taking on the leading of this verse knows who you are. When someone asks you what the hope of your calling is you well know that you are in the right place just as He did. You are consecrated to what you are called to do. Jesus kept going in His being led regardless of what or where others thought was where He should be. He was not disobedient. He well know the value of those in being led. Know this...others don't have to understand all about you. This is your confidence that is your constant reward.

In these 7 areas of leadership you won't be able to do another's part. You are engulfed in the love you have to do in your own.

Does this sound like a lot of managers? It isn't. It is however many Spirit-filled overseers doing what they love because they have been led in doing such a honored and prized work!

Together these bring unity to each and every area of the church...

Ephesians 4:16 says...'from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causing growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.' ...the church internal, individual, collective and corporate!

Colossians 2:19...all the body nourished, together and growing...with increase from God.

The forever building up of others...this is the vision of 'My Father's Business' in the glory!
