Download The Demands for Ministry by Apostle Arome Osayi mp3
The demands for ministry By Apostle Arome Osayi was a training session with ministers on ministry matters. He emphasizes that Ministry is not just a calling; it is a divine assignment with specific demands that must be met for it to thrive and fulfill God’s purpose.
In his sermon The Demands for Ministry, Apostle Arome Osayi, a seasoned servant of God and prophetic voice in this generation, unpacks the spiritual, mental, and physical requirements for effective ministry.
1. Intimacy with God
Apostle Arome Osayi begins by emphasizing the primacy of intimacy with God. Ministry flows from the depth of our relationship with the Lord. Without consistent fellowship, prayer, and study of God’s Word, one risks operating in the flesh rather than in the Spirit. He points out that the secret place is the birthplace of revelation and power for ministry. It is there that God reveals His specific assignments and equips His servants for the task ahead.
2. Sacrifice and Discipline
Ministry demands sacrifice and high level of discipline. Paul says, I beat my body so that I won’t be disqualified after I run my race. Apostle Arome Osayi explains that those called into ministry must live lives of consecration, often laying aside personal ambitions and comforts to pursue God’s purpose. Discipline is also key. This includes disciplined study of the Word, giving yourself to the ministry of the word and prayer, stewardship of resources and others.
3. Understanding God’s Vision
The sermon also underscores the need to receive and understand God’s vision for the ministry. Apostle Arome Osayi stresses that every ministry has a specific assignment, and ministers must align their efforts with God’s revealed purpose. Misalignment leads to burnout and fruitlessness. To understand God’s vision, one must be attentive to the leading of the Holy Spirit and open to divine corrections.
4. Humility and Servanthood
Apostle Arome Osayi highlights humility and servanthood as non-negotiable virtues. Ministry is not about titles or fame; it is about serving God and His people. He cautions against the dangers of pride, and other lust of the flesh that impedes Gods plans, reminding ministers that they are vessels through which God works. True greatness in ministry is measured by the depth of one’s service, not by outward achievements.
5. Spiritual Warfare and Resilience
Apostle Arome Osayi addresses the spiritual warfare that comes with ministry. Those who take up God’s mandate become targets of the enemy. Resilience, therefore, is vital. So, we wrestle not against flesh and blood but principalities and powers. He encourages ministers to put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and engage in persistent prayer to overcome spiritual attacks. Ministry requires warriors who are steadfast in the face of trials.
