You want to be successful in ministry. So do I. More than anything else, I want to hear the divine accolade, “Well done good and faithful servant.”(Matt. 25:21). Those words are full of affirmation and in their context they indicate that the faithful servant has done much meaningful ministry, been a good manager of God’s resources, and produced “interest” on God’s investment - no doubt
meaning souls brought to God. Yet in our minds we can get the rewards of faithfulness confused with faithfulness itself. Would it surprise you to hear that success in ministry is not the bearing of much fruit?
