Online Deacon Minister Ordination
My name is Angela Daniels, and I was born in Kingston, Jamaica. I am blessed to study at the Christian Leaders Institute. Further, I am receiving the online Deacon Minister ordination with the Christian Leaders Alliance.
Raised in a nuclear family, my mother was a Christian, but my father was not. I was the only girl and the last of three children. My mother was actively involved in the church that she attended. She attended worship services every Sunday, as well as mid-week services.
In our household, my parents acutely individuated my siblings and me. The result was low self-confidence and low self-esteem for me. The Lord took me through a journey that addressed that issue. Now, I have a healthy sense of self. The Lord has been gracious towards me: His mercies endure forever (Psalm 136:1). I surrendered my life to the Lord at 14 years old. The journey has been challenging, especially during my adolescent years. However, God kept me in His hand.
Ministry Service
Currently, I serve my church in the capacity of Team Lead for our Counseling Center. I am also a member of the Women’s Ministry. Over the years, I served as Cell Leader, Teacher/Trainer in Evangelism Explosion, and Director overseeing the Single’s Ministry, Couples Ministry, Counseling Ministry, and Men’s Ministry. Further, I served as the Head of Leadership Training and Capacity & Welfare Director on the Sunday School Board. I have also obtained the Certified Life Coach Minister with Christian Leaders Institute.
Understanding God’s Call
I desire to fulfill God’s purpose for my life. Therefore, I sought God for an understanding of His calling on my life. Throughout the process, I discovered that God endowed me with the gifts of Administration, Teaching, Exhortation, and Serving. I am empowered to lead and guide, thereby assisting persons in accomplishing their goals. First, I manage adverse reactions healthily while fulfilling God’s purpose. Then, I share knowledge with people to empower them. I also enjoy ministering to people by giving consolation, comfort, and encouragement to help and healing. For persons who seek to grow, I am enthusiastic about assisting them on that trajectory. My passion is in helping people to identify and meet their needs through self-disclosure and other resources.
Finding CLI
During this search to understand God’s calling, I felt that God wanted me to give more of my time and resources to his purpose. So I started seeking Him for a direction. One day, while scrolling through Facebook, I came upon Christian Leaders Institute for the first time. I was very excited and immediately went to the website. The rest is history, as two years later, I am finally achieving my primary goal by completing certification for Ordained Life Coach and Matchmaking Minister.
All the courses pursued added value to my knowledge reservoir. They also transformed me more into who God has called me to be in His service. Of particular mention is the online Deacon Minister Ordination Module. It was sobering for me as it caused me to really reflect and assess myself prayerfully. Therefore, I ensured that it is what God wants for my life. It was indeed a humbling experience because it speaks a lot to “not my will but Thine be done.” It echoes what Jesus uttered in Luke 22:42, “Father, if Thou art willing, remove this cup from Me; nevertheless, not My will, but Thine be done.”
Ministry Calling
I have been reflecting on the tremendous task ahead of me. In the process, I evaluate my readiness but remember that God has called me and has equipped me for His service. Hebrews 13:21 says that God has “equipped you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.”
The online Deacon Minister Ordination has provided me the empowerment and blessings to continue God’s work specifically, but not limited to, Life Coach and Match Making Minister. Also, I am called to more excellent service in my local church, perhaps even in the capacity of the Team Lead for the Counseling Center.
Online Deacon Minister Ordination through CLI and with CLA
I thank God for Christian Leaders Institute and the opportunity to pursue studies without a cost to me. It is a tremendous privilege because I would not have attended if I had to bear the cost. An abundance of gratitude to the Christian Leaders Institute visionaries for offering us the courses free of charge. May God continue to bless you all!
Ministry is a fantastic task. However, I know that God would not call me to something that I cannot accomplish. I know that with God, I can do it, as the scripture reminds me that “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13). Fully committed to God and His calling, I serve in the areas that He has called me.
As I currently serve as Team Lead for the Counseling Center, please pray with me that God will continue to bless me with insight, guidance, and direction in helping and meeting the needs of His people. I also pray that God will provide the resources for us to fulfill His mandate in this regard.
