Balancing Ministry Vs Industry (Business)

 The ministries of the Gospel is multifaceted and a few that readily comes to mind are Pastoring, Evangelizing through Musicals (singers and instrumentalist), Drama/Acting, Writing; others are Teaching, Encouraging (Counseling), Helping, Leading and others alike.

Everyone has a gift, some have been able to come to limelight with their gifts while others are yet. The difference is the ability to develop the 


gifts and a willingness to offer the gift first, for free.

Christ understood the business of His earthly Ministry had different departments amongst the 12 who were following Him. Some handled welfare, finances and treasury while there were administrative scribes who documented the happenings of the Ministry. We can safely say that Lord Jesus understood the business of His ministry.

Balancing Ministry and Industry is the ability of a gifted Gospel minister to harness and harmonize the business elements for success in ministry.

As Gospel minister, you might not be able to do this all by yourself, employ freelance business development agency to manage you and your growing or grown ministry. It's not enough to just hand pick anyone who lacks business acumen as manager, it might not go well in the long run.

The Church is a ministry that if not run as business entity would fail to achieve kingdom goals.

The parable of the talents sums it all up - those who are profitable gets commended and more is given to them from those who are unprofitable.

The "New" New Testament Church Who would have believed that the world with all its technological advancement and human capacity would run to hide behind closed doors to preserve humanity from the novel Corona Virus disease - Covid-19, which broke out in November, 2019?  Covid-19, a disease which has no respect for persons, race, age, social status, or religious beliefs, forced governments to close all borders with no entry or exit except for essential needs.  Since the world took cover by staying safe at home, no one could go to Church, not even the Pastors. The Church resorted to reaching out to her members via the internet using the various social media platforms available.
