MY DIVINE DESIGN
Do you know how God has designed you for ministry? Why or why not?
I believe I know how God has designed me for ministry. This is made possible by knowing my divine design. Through mentorship and studies that conforms to the Biblical Model of discovering my design for ministry, I was able to determine my ministry direction. Knowing my divine design means knowing the spiritual and natural gifts that I am endowed with by God. I have been able to discover my God-given gifts through the use of tools I discovered few years ago. Even though I found out that I can operate in more than one gift, my dominant gift is teaching which is supported by other gifts like faith, help, service and passion. I also believe that my temperament (my unique, God-given inborn behavioral style) has helped me in my relationship with others especially in the ministry where God positioned me as a minister and a leader. I have not allowed life circumstances to limit my growth despite occasional failures and disappointments. I am happy that I know and love who I am.
My evangelism style is the intellectual and the testimonial styles. As a teacher of the gospel of Christ, I educate people about how they can know God and connect to His divine provision and protection. I also teach people about the power of prayer and that healings and miracles are still for our time. I believe that the best way to grow is to study the Word of God. Knowledge is power and that is why I believe any time spent in acquiring knowledge about the Kingdom is worth it. My method and quality of teaching have changed progressively as I acquire more knowledge through Biblical education.
Even though I am serving in voluntary capacity as a minister in a Church, I believe God is also equipping me to make an impact in the market place. My gifts have affected the way I relate with others and using my gifts has brought me joy. All the same, I desire to grow daily in knowledge as well as changing and developing

    The book, Questioning Evangelism, is about sharing the gospel with others in a way that will create conversations instead of arguments and Randy Newman is able accomplishes this in his dialoguing throughout the book. This book is a monograph on evangelism and delves into ways a person is able to evangelise without a step-by-step process. Randy Newman starts the book with a style of evangelism that responds to the unbeliever’s questions with a question instead of an answer. By doing this a person is prone to listen more to the other person and avoids having to try answer questions that they have no answer to answer at the time. This style comes from the Jewish culture and how they speak to each other.…

    Lori, I truly enjoyed your interview response on Reverend Jennifer Beagle. I can agree with her statement on developing a ministry, “It’s a battle worth fighting, suit-up, buckle-up, and don’t doubt that God is in everything. Find God in every circumstance and view people as creations”. (Beagle, 2015) Just as the varying parts of the human body need each other to best accomplish its work, so the Body of Christ needs to function interdependently, like a team. (Rom. 12:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:12-27) God so designed the Church that it "grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work". (Eph. 4:16) Christian leaders are servants. Jesus specifically addresses servant leadership…

    The most common and influential argument’s for the existence of God are design arguments. In the last fifty years design arguments have received the most attention philosophically. Design arguments are both empirical and inductive arguments. Design arguments identify properties of objects in nature and argue that the only way that they could have occurred or the best explanation for them is that there is some intelligent/higher being that created or conceived the object. William Paley was a Christian apologist in the eighteenth century who was known for his popular version of the teleological argument (“watchmaker analogy”). Paley stressed the idea that the world’s complexity and design is not based off luck or chance, but rather designed by…

    Ministry is a loosely defined term. A.W. Tozer once said, “It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it.” This is at the heart of “knowing ministry.” Teaching is a sacred act. Destroying ignorance is a sacred mission entrusted to people of good will. The reason I decided to pursue this field education opportunity because Dr. Ewing understands this concept.…
