I received my own Ordinations from 3 different Church Ministries, with head offices based in the USA, including World Christianship Ministries, and The Universal Life Church. I am currently happily ministering to a blessed fellowship of believers and seekers, that have been part of my ministration for 2 decades.
This is a calling that was first rendered to me by God back in 1982 when I first trained and qualified as a pastoral counsellor and minister from my Church's academy. I then went on to develop further skills and abilities as a minister,teacher and coach, training and working with a variety of different ministries that included a 6 year stint at St James's Church London, a 2 year stint with Assembly of God, Nottinghamshire, and 5 years as Assistant Pastor of Strong Tower Church, Nottingham. I am currently Pastor of the Racial Harmony Ministry UK, and Holy Spirit Ministries- UK. My current work is focussed on bridging and integration between different facets, and encouraging unity and common ground in diversity based on God's Word, and the teachings of Jesus Christ.
I am extremely honored to have been conferred with the responsibility of ministry, teaching, counselling, evangelising and pastoral care. I am particularly grateful to those within the Church, particularly in America, who were able to see past the limitations of society sexism, age-ism and racism, to see and honor the Divine spark and purpose within my soul, thus enabling me to pursue the life vocation for which I have been called. It is to them that I make this offering of appreciation and thanks. For without their willingness to see the potential for good in me, I would probably still be languishing in the unfulfilled darkness of frustrated and wasted gifting somewhere. I in turn feel a responsibility to be a beacon of light and encouragement to others of similar disposition, to help smooth the way for them like myself to fulfill their divine potential for service to our Creator, by presenting the means for possibility.
If you feel the call to minister to others,and don't quite know where to start or how to go about it; or if you have tried in the past but failed, or were stalled, turned away, undermined or blocked in any way, yet still have a burning desire to fulfill such a calling with love and integrity, then let me be a source of encouragement to you today. It is no coinsidense that you are reading this blog post.
Please see below, in this blog, one simple, easy and straightforward means by which to fulfill your destiny as an ordained minister, pastor, preacher or counsellor.
My only request is that you take this on with the utmost sincerity, commitment, and honor that is required of a representative of the most high; and that you will treat the position conferred on you with respect, accountability and a deep appreciation for the lives of all those you are to serve. Please do not abuse this previledge, simply because the means to arrive has been made easy for you. That this is so, is entirely by the Grace of God, a divine gifting, so please GO INTO THIS PRAYERFULLY AND REVERENTLY. Savor this gift for the previledge it is, AND TREAT IT WELL.
My personal prayer, is that God continues to enrich your soul with the strength, wisdom, courage, peace and fortitude to honor your calling as a mighty servant of the Most High. Amen
So go ahead now, and check out the post below, providing details for ordination.
Much Love and Light
