Senior Pastors major responsibility to his associate is spiritual empowerment and this empowerment is done by several impartations, eg, via teachings on kingdom truths, ethics of succeeding in ministry, discoverying the associates potentials and empowering him in every wisdom of it, for him to succeed, empowering the associate attitude by living a life that must influence the associates life for good, winning the love of the associate by good heart care of his needs and giving him the needed…
Senior Pastors major responsibility to his associate is spiritual empowerment and this empowerment is done by several impartations, eg, via teachings on kingdom truths, ethics of succeeding in ministry, discoverying the associates potentials and empowering him in every wisdom of it, for him to succeed, empowering the associate attitude by living a life that must influence the associates life for good, winning the love of the associate by good heart care of his needs and giving him the needed exposure for maturity in ministry, eg, liberty to work or manage the department which is best for his gift. In regard to an associate ministers responsibility to his senior pastor. every associate pastor must take note that every living man is a growing man including his senior pastor therefor must not capitalize in his area where he has not grown, eg the story of Noah and his son Reuben, learning from that case, an associate pastor suppose to always bridge the garp for his senior pastor and also obey him always as writting in Heb 13:17 cos whatever you despise cannot impact you like Noah and Reuben. i have more to say but may want to stop here for now Awesome wisdom giving!tag:abcpreachers.ning.com,2008-02-15:916966:Comment:633602008-02-15T04:32:02.286ZDr. Maxcina Gadsdenhttp://abcpreachers.ning.com/profile/DrMaxcinaGadsden

I agree with you totally. We have been hosting a month long prayer revival at our church and an evangelist from another church has been leading us. One of the wonderful things about her is that she will be the first to tell you that she ministers under the earthly authority of her pastor and would not have been doing this for the past 4 years if her pastor said otherwise.

Likewise when she is with us during the month of February, she lets it be known that she recognizes the pulpit authority of our congregation and submits to it. Of course, even though I am the pastor, I make every effort to set forth an example of followship during these special services and ministries. Because I realize that I am not the only one that God can use or speak to and through.

I thought that I was the only one who knew of Pastors like that. (smile) Some of us older ones have been in the work so long that we have developed a warped sense of ownership. We have become so jealous of "our" pulpit that unless we are on vacation or sick, our associates never get an opportunity to preach, let alone a visiting minister. I think to a certain degree, we need to be zealous for the Lord's pulpit and guard against some who will not study or pray and will get up and say things that…
I thought that I was the only one who knew of Pastors like that. (smile) Some of us older ones have been in the work so long that we have developed a warped sense of ownership. We have become so jealous of "our" pulpit that unless we are on vacation or sick, our associates never get an opportunity to preach, let alone a visiting minister. I think to a certain degree, we need to be zealous for the Lord's pulpit and guard against some who will not study or pray and will get up and say things that are totally un-scriptural and not of God. However this pastorial shining is not condusive to the body of Christ or the kingdom work. I am a pastor with two wonderful associate ministers. All 3 of us share the work of preaching and ministering to the congregation. I spent 12 years as a chief of police in a town where the general opinon was that I ought to be present on every call that my officers responded to. If God has truly placed you in a position of leadership, you should not have to do anything to remind yourself or any one else who and where you are. It has come to a point in our church where the 3 of us look forward with great anticipation to hear what the Lord has to say from the mouth of the other. JMS Awesome, awesome, awesome.
