Areas of Development
As a minister I have become laser focused on what God wants for me. I have noticed that there are three main areas that I must gain some level of understand or clarity on before I can be great in God.
Proclivity
I hate this word but it is in essence the things takes all of us down. It is the Bathsheba to our King David. The woman on Samson's head. Its the defining issue that can and if it goes on check will take down your ministry and complete forever alter the way ministry is being done. If we look a David we can see that more clearly than anyone. David was guilty of many things and because of the way he went about handling the darkness in his life the sword never departed his family.
The minister has got to get a handle on his defining issue and find a measure of victory and accountability so he can go on and do great things for God. Perhaps my greatest fear is to be shamed by weakness as a human. There is something triumphant that happens for the enemy when he is able to take down great leader with a filthy sin.
Business
I named this part business because it varies based upon the set of responsibility that a given minister will have. For instance, If a young man is married he is going to have a different set of challenges to handle than a young man who is not married but has kids. Even more, he would be different if the man holds a full time job.
God pulls no punches with us, The expectation is that we are submissive to God in all things. In that we are excellent in all things. T.D. Jakes preached a message named " A two fisted fight"
