为了服事而装备

Nov 7, 2023

“祂升上高天时……将恩赐赏给众人。”为要装备信徒……建立基督的身体。(以弗所书4:8-12)

作为领袖,你必须时常把所蒙召使命背后的哲理、计划和目的摆在面前,并且与你的同事清楚沟通。在任何机构,包括教会,最常见的三个问题是:一、把某人放在错误的职位,并让他滞留在此,因为没人做那个工作。二、不了解某人的天分,也没有提供足够的培训、方向和信息来促进团队工作。三、领袖们不知道如何清晰地传达他们的异象。当其中任何一个领域出现状况时,我们就把时间和精力花在排除故障、“灭火”上,并且“四处乱窜”。结果,领袖气馁,工人停工。然而,教会不必是这样。保罗概述了教会成长的总体计划,借此提醒我们,说上帝“将恩赐赏给众人。祂赐恩让一些人做使徒,一些人做先知,一些人做传福音的,一些人做牧师和教师,为要装备信徒,使他们各尽其职,建立基督的身体。”上帝为什么会选派领袖?为了装备人。为什么要装备?为了服事。为什么事工如此重要?为了建立基督的身体。就是这样!这对于发展一个强壮的、健康的教会,是必不可少的,教会的使命是喂养上帝的群羊,传福音给失丧的人。这就是解释了作为领袖,你所做的一切都应该直接与装备工人来服事有关。你这样做,就不会感到那么挫败,你的同工们就会更加充实,你的教会就会更加富有成效!
