YOUR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND MINISTRY AS A CHRISTIAN (Vol. 1 of The Believer's Character Development and Ministry)

Developing a godly character should ideally be the essential life pursuit of every true believer and minister, as good character is one of the major sources of the factors that shall enable the believer to become highly successful in his life and ministry. Many people from time immemorial, in both their spiritual and secular endeavours, have risen or fallen on account of the kind of character they were defined and identified with.

The basic truth about every human being is that character counts in everything concerning him. This truth has not been invalidated since the beginning of life and it shall most probably remain valid till the end of life, in spite of the inevitable changes in morals, civilizations and norms.

For every believer, character should be recognised as the core human quality, whose impacts on his lifestyle and ministry are primordially deep and decisive. It is a major determinant on how and whether he rises or falls, fails or succeeds in life and ministry. It is on this basis that all believers are enjoined to make the positive development of their character and ministry a top priority.

This groundbreaking book, which also succinctly defines character and development from the perspective of the believer and his ministry, clearly reveals what character truly is, as the believer’s consistent manifestation of Jesus in his life and ministry through the Holy Spirit’s work of sanctification and the believer's determination and commitment to invest his best on continually improving on his character, not only for him to be spiritually fulfilled, but also to be convincingly impactful on others as God's ambassador and model and most especially to glorify God with his life and ministry. The book underscores the important fact that, while it is very important and indispensable for you to grow your spiritual, intellectual and creative gifts, you must develop your character with much greater passion, commitment and devotion. This is because, in the end, it is the worthiness and excellent quality of your character, as revealed in your goodness, godliness, Christlikeness and heaven-compliant lifestyle that shall hold you true and also sustain your worth as a true believer. It is the core priority that you must recognise as being most capable of positively defining and distinguishing your ministry than the heightened power of your multiple gifts, material possessions and physical assets.

The book, through its simple, knowledge-sharing and pedagogical style, presents the above issues on your character and ministry development as convincingly and clearly as to enable you to better appreciate the need for you to invest your topmost attention on the development of your character and ministry as a true believer. You are therefore lovingly advised to charge your character and ministry with the enriching knowledge in the book, so as to make them fulfilling to you, appreciated by believers and non-believers and most especially acceptable to God, by purchasing the book and reading it with careful attention.

The book is a must for any growing believer who wants his character and ministry to develop to God's standard, be appreciated by other believers and be impactful on non-believers.
