When I wrote TRUE MINISTERS in 2022, I knew I was simply a vessel in God’s hand, carrying a burden that was not mine but His. The Lord’s cry was clear: to call His servants back to purity, humility, and integrity – the very foundation of Christ’s ministry. He impressed deeply upon my heart that His glory seemed to have diminished in many houses of worship, not because His power had weakened, but because His ministers had wandered away from His heart.
 
I did not write this book because I had attained perfection. Far from it. I wrote it because the Spirit allowed me to share in God’s own burden, to feel His grief, and to echo His call.
This book was birthed out of prayer, Scripture study, and a deep longing to see a generation of ministers who serve – not for applause, position, or gain – but for the pleasure of the One who called them. It was written to remind us that ministry is not merely a platform; it is a posture of surrender, a life poured out in service to God and His people.
 
TRUE MINISTERS is not a manual of human strategies; it is a call to divine alignment. It challenges us to examine not only what we do for God, but who we are before Him. My prayer is that as you read, you will hear the Spirit’s whisper, sense His refining fire, and be drawn deeper into the kind of ministry that pleases Heaven – one marked by truth, love, holiness, and unwavering devotion.
If you are a minister, an aspiring servant of God, or simply one who longs to serve faithfully in your sphere, I invite you to read with an open heart. Let the Lord search you, shape you, and set you apart for His glory.
 
The times we live in demand true ministers. May we be found among them.
