You are a Minister wherever you are……

Book Cover & Preview Text
Most believers think they need unique gifts... such as those assigned to pastors, deacons, elders, evangelists, prophets or apostles... in order to share the gospel or minister to others. The truth is that ALL believers are appointed as ministers to the world with the main goal of bringing the lost to the saving power of Jesus Christ. As believers, we do not need special titles, platforms or forums to spread the Gospel. Christ has equipped each believer with every good gift to do His work. Moreover, we also have the guaranteed power, support and guidance of the Holy Spirit to accomplish these tasks. Each believer is therefore equipped and empowered to bring the Gospel of salvation, deliverance, healing, restoration and restitution to those around us, and to do this within any setting.
This book outlines the definition of a believer and its correlation with, and in, ministry. Jesus Christ in His mandate to the His followers said “go ye”; there are no special titles or designations tied to this mandate other than “those who believe” (that is, us believers, also called ministers). This clarification gives us the freedom to minister to one another in and outside church. This book also helps curb tendencies to fight for pulpits or strive for church ministerial positions because it outlines the various avenues that can be used to minister effectively outside the walls of the church.
The main objective of this book is to encourage each believer to recognize the platform God has given him or her to accomplish the Great Commission. This platform may be a career, vocation, business, home environment or department in a church. This platform is what I describe as “your pulpit”. Each believer has one. Once you have recognized your pulpit, I discuss how natural gifts, talents and spiritual gifts can be applied collectively to minister to others.
Our Lord Jesus Christ gives us the mandate or Great Commission in Mark 16: 14-20……And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature…” Once filled with the Holy Spirit, each believer is empowered to share the gospel to others. When we share the gospel, the following are bound to happen: salvation, deliverance, healing (physical, emotional and psychological healing), and restoration. Receive the freedom and boldness to go forth, to take charge of your pulpit, and bring many to Kingdom of God, in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Amen!

About the Book
Titles and talents are NOT prerequisites for service. Each believer is uniquely and individually gifted by God and has the capacity and capability to minister to others. Jesus Christ in His mandate to the His followers said “go ye”; there are no special titles or designations tied to this mandate other that “those who believe”, Mark 16:14-20. The main objective of this book is to encourage each believer to recognize the platform God has given them to accomplish the Great Commission. This platform may be a career, vocation, business, home environment or department in a church. This platform is what I refer to as “your pulpit”. Each believer has one. Once you have recognized your pulpit, I discuss how both natural gifts, talents and spiritual gifts can be applied collectively to minister to others. The harvest is still plenteous. Having been already empowered by Jesus, let us join together in gathering the harvest. Go ahead and minister wherever you are!
