The Ministry Training of Spiritual or Character Formation

The intentional process of being shaped inwardly into the image of Christ so that ministry flows from character, intimacy with God, and spiritual maturity not just gifting or knowledge. It is the development of the inner life before the public life.
The ultimate aim of Spiritual formation are the following;
•Character is a mental and moral quality distinctive to an individual in the ministry.
•Anointing attracts people, but character sustains the people. God can gather but your character can scatter the people. The special skill of dealing with people in all situations is required.
•Sexual purity is very important and maturity in your dealings with people.
•Spiritual formation impacts the way you think, behave, react to issues, deal with situations and deal with people.
•Your character is a great indicator of whether you can do ministry or not. Therefore need to be intentional about developing character for ministry (1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9, Psalm 24:3-4).

Series l:Faith + Patience = Inheritance

Steps to Inheriting the Promise
1. Don’t be Slothful or Lazy
When God gives you a promise through the prophetic word or prophecy, you don’t sleep over it. You work harder by pursuing God even more. 
Following is not for lazy people. Promises and prophecies stirs up warfare, spiritual attention and attacks - 1 Timothy 1:18-19.

2. Work hard to hold Good-Conscience. Align your life with the word of God. So while you are waiting for the promise or prophecy to manifest, stay away from sin because it will defile your good conscience and cause you to make shipwreck of your faith.

Shipwreck
•The destruction of a ship on the sea by sinking or breaking up.
•It also means to be stranded, helpless or left without a means to move from where you are.
•It also means left in the middle of nowhere without the means to get to your destination. In other words abortion of the promises of God concerning your life.

God’s System of Prosperity: The Giving Grace of the New Testament Church

The Generous Giving Grace of Christ1. You know how rich Christ is but made himself poor for your sake so you through his poverty might become rich. How will this happen. You see when you dedicate your life to respond to the call of God, you have chosen a path of poverty in a way because how rich will a full-time minister be. But He is actually so rich in the spirit by reason of the covenant he has with God but God physically strip him of all his riches and makes him poor. The mystery of the poverty or lack of a minister is that, God provides an opportunity for the people He brings under his covering or ministry to be rich through his covenant with God. But how will they unlock this covenant riches? Through giving to the needs of the covenant servant of God, as you do that, you draw from the covenant blessings of God with His Servant.
