Hey ladies, In today's episode of the Ministers in the Marketplace podcast, I want to talk about the importance of building a relationship with God for yourself. It's crucial to understand that knowing God personally is the foundation of serving Him and doing ministry effectively. Many people only know God through others, but God desires a direct relationship with each of us. We need to seek Him individually and spend time in His presence. This process will look different for everyone, and it's important to find what works best for you, whether it's through prayer, worship, or quiet reflection. Relying on others, even those with prophetic gifts, can sometimes lead us astray. It's essential to develop our own relationship with God to discern His will for our lives accurately. By doing so, we gain the confidence and clarity needed to pursue our ministry in the marketplace. Join me as I share my experiences and insights on how to cultivate a deeper connection with God. Let's embrace the journey of knowing Him personally and allowing that relationship to guide our actions and decisions in ministry.   Chapter Markers: 0:00 - Building Your Relationship with God 1:20 - The Dangers of Relying on Others 5:07 - Strengthening Confidence in Ministry   If you like this podcast, please consider subscribing, sharing it with someone who may benefit, and leaving a review or rating on your preferred podcast platform.

Hey ladies, In this episode of the Ministers in the Marketplace podcast, I share an update about taking a content break. As ministers in the marketplace, it's essential to intentionally pause and allow God to pour into us. I discuss the importance of balancing content creation with spiritual nourishment and how overloading ourselves with the pressure to produce can lead to missing out on God's guidance. This break is a time to rest in His presence, spend time in His word, and seek direction for the future of the podcast. We explore biblical examples of solitude and how taking time away can lead to greater clarity and alignment with God's will. Despite the fear of losing engagement and metrics, trusting God during this period of rest is vital. This episode encourages you to embrace seasons of solitude and rest, trusting that God will maintain your platform and lead you to new opportunities. It's not about fame or popularity, but about fulfilling God's purpose in your ministry. Join me in understanding the importance of taking breaks and being obedient to God's call, even when it means stepping away from what we've built. I hope this message blesses you, and I look forward to returning with renewed vision and purpose.

In this episode of our series on funding your ministry, we delve into the life of Apostle Paul and explore how he utilised a specific model to support himself and his ministry when external support was unavailable. Paul's journey highlights the importance of divine ideas and wisdom in finding unique ways to fund your ministry work. He understood that while financial partnerships and gifts were ideal, there were times he needed to rely on his skills and trades, such as tent-making, to sustain his mission. We discuss how Paul's example teaches us that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to funding ministry. God may provide various methods and models tailored to individual circumstances, including leveraging personal skills or projects to generate income. This episode encourages ministers to consider their own talents and divine guidance to find innovative ways to support their ministry, just as Apostle Paul did. Tune in for insights and inspiration on navigating the financial challenges of ministry in the marketplace.   Scripture Reference: Acts 18:1-4 Deuteronomy 8:18   Chapter Markers: 0:00 - Funding Your Ministry Through Apostle Paul’s Example 1:35 - Diversifying Your Income Streams for Ministry Support 3:07 - Diversifying Your Income Streams for Ministry Support   If you like this podcast, please consider subscribing, sharing it with someone who may benefit, and leaving a review or rating on your preferred podcast platform.
