Assistants in Focus Series 4 - Disinterest

I’ve been receiving some emails from assistants reporting some situations that are happening and are very sad. One was about the neglect of some assistants in relation to the care of the church and even disinterest in spiritual service. Read for yourself: "I see a difficulty in assistants accepting and taking on responsibilities, for example I am looking for a helper for social work and with the exception of those already active in a group, the assistants shirk ..." "I am an educator of the EBI, and there has been a few unpleasant things happening. The assistants do not help in the cleaning of the church; they do not go out to evangelize. They do not do visual aids for the kids..." The assistants serve God out of love, Him and the souls, if she is willing to serve and then does not want to cooperate with the work of God, then she is being negligent. They do not want to evangelize, help in maintaining cleanliness, not giving their best in the EBI; then you are not being an assistant.

Assistants in Focus Series 3 - Jealousy

This is another problem that happens between those who serve God and has weakened a lot the body of assistants. Although everyone knows that jealousy is a work of the flesh, in everyday life it seems to be something difficult to master. Then confusion begins and the he said she said, "the pastor only relies on her,” "she is the only one asked to do everything," "it seems like there's no more assistants in the church, they only have eyes for the same people”, and start having bad eyes and become sad. As you can see, a problem pulls another, and what was only jealousy it has now provoked bad eyes, sadness and therefore a dirty heart, everything originating from an emotional heart. Such feelings do not help the work of God, on the contrary, the devil distracts you with that and keeps you from concentrating on doing your job as an assistant, which is taking care of the people, praying for them and mentoring.

Assistants in Focus Series 2 - Do, Do, Do

A major concern of those who serve God, should not be doing a lot, even if we have to, of course, but without ever neglecting the most important, our communion with God.

What good is it do many things in the church, to receive praise from the pastor, but not have time for God, not taking a moment to pray, read the Bible, seek the Holy Spirit, being in church does not mean being with God.
For this reason many servants are weak, weak in faith, they have worked hard and have not separated time to take care of their spiritual life.
The long and short of it, you do, do, do and never feel satisfied, because your inside is empty of God.

Assistants in Focus Series 1 - Spiritual State

Hello friends, are you prepared? Then let us begin, at the end this article there is a small task for you.

Today we are going talk about the importance of the assistants being good with God, with their spiritual lives in day.
If the person is not well, she cannot help others, if she is empty, weak in faith, or even in sin, how can she pray for the people in the church? It will be a prayer without fruit, it will be dangerous because do not forget that it's a fight face to face with the devil.

Unfortunately many assistants are hiding behind their uniform, wanting to pass a spiritual image that does not exist.
They are people who act in the church one way but at home are completely different, they are unrecognizable, giving bad testimony.
This demonstrates a lack of being born again, do not accept living a farce, be honest with yourself.

Some points that can help you to reflect and see that you are not born of God:

-      you have not changed your character

-      you are always in a bad mood

-      you are angry and explosive

-      you feel bad in the strong prayer, as a matter of fact you flee from the services of liberation

-      you are not able to abandon sin, live in wrong

-      you are a sad person, do not have God's peace

-      deep down inside you know something is missing, something is not right

BAD BREATH

The Lord Jesus did not come for hypocrites. He came for people who are lost in sin and are crying out on the inside – people who want to serve God and cleanse themselves. Once they are cleansed, they will give good offerings. God wants to be worshipped by people that give fragrant offerings to Him.

Have you ever spoken to someone with bad breath? How did you react? I try to get away because the smell is so bad, as if something were rotting. I don’t tell the person, but I step backwards because I can’t stand the smell. I can’t stand people with bad breath or to have it myself.

The same goes for the offerings we present to God, because our lives are an offering. The Lord Jesus was an offering to God and we should follow His example and be offerings too.

The Power to Choose

I have the power to choose and as a result the consequences of my choices do not depend on others.

It’s unfair to make bad choices and then blame others for what happens.

God gave us the power to choose good or evil, to obey or disobey.

No one is perfect, but those who obey have perfection as their goal. God is looking for people like this to serve Him.

Integrity, righteousness, the fear of God and a spirit that flees from sin are all qualities of those who spread the fragrance of Jesus in this world.

WHAT ARE YOU TIRED OF?

In this world of evil, all of us are tired.

The question is: What are you tired of ? Fighting? Suffering?

There’s a huge difference between these two people.

When those who are tired of suffering get attacked by fear, they may even have crawled into a cave at some point in their lives, but when they have had enough of suffering, they take a stand, face and overcome their fears in order to turn the tables on defeat and shame.

They do what Gideon did, who was called by God to change his life and the lives of the entire nation because of his attitude.

Challenge of Israel

Many assistants are wondering what‘s the importance of the Challenge of Israel, and if you do not know, I'll post a short explanation for you.

The aim of the Challenge of Israel is awakening in people lives that genuine Faith, the faith of Abraham which exists in all of us, but in many cases, is asleep. And to clarify this, we mention some biblical heroes, like Gideon, Moses, Elijah and many others, who offered challenges to God, and have God's promises fulfilled in their lives. That's the secret: Challenging to Conquer.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING AN ASSISTANT

 

When someone comes to the church for the first time, looking for help, most of these times this person comes to an assistant.

That’s why it’s important for the assistant to present him/herself always c

lean and tidy, to be polite to talk to the one who is suffering and has just arrived, to know how to speak according to the Biblical instructions, never give their own opinion and not even try to solve the problem using their own thoughts or ideas.
The assistant must always live what he/she preaches, should never stop believing in the scriptures and in the power God has to perform miracles.
Remember that the first impression is the one that will remain in point of view of that person.
