Kingdom Builders

A Special Message

from

Co-Pastor Minister Shirley Davis

 

 

There are times when God gives special instruction and directions; and this is a time that I want to share with you about what God has directed.

I am sitting here looking at the website and updating its content, and want to explain the call that God has directed for select people.  This call will not be answered by everyone, and will not be understood by all that read its words.

 

I have found that in ministry pastor's tend to box in the righteous with formal church membership. There is so much work to be done in ministry.  "The harvest is white but the laborers are few."  It's so clear that it can be seen even in dark places: "it's white." 

 

I have been directed in the past even though I have my own church to assist other ministries with help offering skills that I have, even just attending their worship services when I am not busy, and singing in the choir when needed.

In my office the spirit of God spoke and said 100 Kingdom Builders!

 

Seeking 100 Kingdom Builders. 

 

A Kingdom Builder is one that helps other ministries and pastor's do whatever is needed in their ministry.

 

In the book of Nehemiah chapter 1 Nehemiah was grieved because he heard that the remnant of the captivity was greatly afflicted the wall was broken down and the gates were burned.  This grieved him so much he began to fast and pray.  He asked God to receive mercy in the Kings sight, because he knew he needed to leave to go to start the repair of the wall and the people.

 

God not only let mercy flow through him to the eyesight of the king, but he let King Artaxerxes give him the lumber and supplies from his own forest to help him rebuild the wall.

 

King Artaxerxes became a Kingdom Builder without even knowing it.

There are many that see the need and want to help do a great work in ministry. The Persian King did not join with Nehemiah; he did not become a member of in his work but because of Nehemiah's love of God he granted his request.

 

A Kingdom Builder is just that type. They don't have to have a formal membership with the ministry to help build God's kingdom in the ministry. You may have extra time after your church services or duties to continue a good work working with another ministry.

 

This formal call is to those that want to become a Kingdom Builder with Trinity. There is no set time for you to work with this ministry but understand once you become a Kingdom Builder there is a zeal that is released in you to continue that work with other ministries that could use your efforts; it won't just stop at Trinity; and no formal membership is required.

 

If you belong to a ministry understand that your Kingdom Builder efforts should follow your commitment to your home church. If there is no home church membership that you have, again none is required to be a Kingdom Builder. You must Love God.

 

Will I personally find the 100 that God has said to commission? I don't know. Will one commission another and so on and son on; I don't know. What I do know is that God will let those that are to be Kingdom Builders hear the prayer, heed the call, and grant mercy.

 

If this call has touched you I want you to email me with any questions and for further information. Email co-pastorshirley@att.net. God has anointed me to consecrate all Kingdom Builders, and commission them for the work.
