The longer you keep doing these smart investments, the greater the benefits.
1. Invest in your relationships with those he loves
not make the mistake of deferring to the most important people in your life, on behalf of "build his ministry."
2. Invest in a program of long-term personal development
In simpler terms: stay as is and his ministry will never flourish. Get cultured, gives people reason to trust you and be able to grow their ministry.
3. Invest in a consultant
You will never know everything you need to know to make every decision that comes your way. To succeed, you must be ready to be taught. It is therefore imperative that you do adviser accompanied by a competent and trustworthy who can help you see clearly the best decisions. And do not make the mistake of believing that an adviser is obsolete once it has reached a certain level of success. On the contrary, as you ascend to higher levels, the consultant becomes a most precious asset.
4. Invest in a competent assistant to become his right hand
To effectively lead a ministry can not take care of everything. Must learn to delegate tasks effectively. And that starts by investing in a capable and competent assistant. You may think: I can not afford to hire an assistant. The real question to consider is: can you afford not to have an assistant?
5. Invest in a personal financial plan
Your long-term satisfaction with your career or ministry depends partly on your ability to maintain financial stability. What often happens is that many pastors and seminarians are drowning in debt, because each time you experience a slight increase in income, can be recharged with more financial responsibilities.
Before you fall into this, it better have a budget, tithes and offerings faithfully live within your income and decide not to rely on credit. We need to add this much patience, not to start getting things we can not yet afford.
6. Spend time in an exercise program
The longevity of his ministry begins with your health. It is a fact that the state of your body can radically affect their ministry. Unfortunately, in this area it has become common work sixty, seventy or eighty hours a week. There are few who support this rate. Your body can not absorb such abuse, and will soon let you know with diseases like chronic fatigue or anxiety, insomnia, ulcers, headaches and even stroke. It is hard to enjoy the fruits of your labor when you're too busy. The fact is that if you pursue a ministry long, successful and satisfactory, you should invest in your body.
7. Invest in your library
The person who will be tomorrow has a lot to do with the books you read today. It may seem trivial to invest in books, but you must understand that you never learn enough through your own experience. must find another way to increase your knowledge and the most effective are the lessons that other books have been translated into . But it will also benefit the rest of your team, as also inspire personal growth.
