Find Your Own Path!

Ministry is not a place you visit, a signboard, or an address.

It is not a diploma or degree — it is not something you study for, qualify for, or are appointed to.

Ministry is not external, even though it may involve external elements.

Ministry is you — living and operating in your authenticity, unveiling your unique expression, and, in doing so, fulfilling your God-given destiny.

You, your unique path, and everything that you will bring into this world all already dwell in you.

It is not in people around you, although they may be role players in your path.

You will never find your path in the world, you will pioneer it into this world, you will bring it forth from within yourself to be revealed in this world.

Every ‘pro’-vision already dwells in you and will manifest in its predetermined (predestined) moment to propel you on your unique journey and to support you along your path.

Ministry develops from you; it flows from the deepest place of who you are, and as such, it can only operate as you.

You cannot give someone else who you are; you can only inspire and influence them to find and embrace their own authenticity and unique path, discover their unique frequency, and grow to live to their full capacity, thereby fulfilling who they are and are meant to be..”

Do it differently and they will soon be looking for what they cannot find in any book or university — their own identity!

When you do not know your own identity, you will always be tempted to try someone else’s on, and there is nothing less satisfying or more distasteful than trying to force yourself into someone else’s skin!
