BISHOPS' CODE
(BISHOPRIC MINISTERIAL ETHICAL CODES)
(With His Eminence,
Archbishop Dr. Polycarp Sunday)
*TODAY'S BISHOPS' CODE:
*MINISTERIAL COVENANT FRIENDSHIP RELATIONSHIP IN THE BISHOPRIC*
- Part 1.
Your Graces/Your Lordships,
Kingdom Greetings,
Welcome again , to yet another moment when We expound and carefully take on one of the Behavioural Ethical Codes in the Bishopric.
BISHOPS' CODE #2:
IN THE BISHOPRIC, YOU MUST KNOW YOUR ARCHBISHOP OR BISHOP FRIEND VERY WELL, AND YOUR ARCHBISHOP OR BISHOP FRIEND MUST KNOW YOU VERY WELL IN LIFE, MINISTRY AND IN THE BISHOPRIC
Please permit me to ask You this thought provoking questions as We expound on
Today's Bishops' Code
What or Whom Are You Connected To As An Archbishop or A Bishop?
Few days ago while counselling, a counselee asked me if I have friends, I told her yes but extremely few friends.
She did not seem to understand what I meant so I explained. I do have friends I told her, close friends enough to be part of my life as I am part of theirs. For you and I to be close, it means I am connected to you.
Let's put it this way
" if a tree is not connected to a root or good root, it will be dead and if connected to good root it will grow".
(Please Ponder on this)
I grow with my choice of friends or relationship I have with them. We run and rub minds together.
They challenge me! They encourage me! And I do same to them.
This above is how I see friends. If your kind of friend is just for " Hi Your Eminence, Your Grace, Your Lordship, let's go to this place, or that place, I will pass.
If you are the type that all you want to talk about is People, and Ungodly talks ! I will pass.
If you are the type that all you want or do is talk about designer wears and all material stuff and canal things, and how to acquire the latest stuffs in town and you know that you do not that have the means, (after all acquiring what is in vogue is not bad if We truly acquire it for the right purposes and with the right motives) I will pass.
If you are the type that ONLY take and never give back spiritually -ministerially, financially, emotionally, mentally!! I will pass on you.
(This is very important)
And on the list goes, one thing that's common is that you will be drained out trying to fit into the lives of any friend listed above and many more that are detriment to your Life, Ministry, and Bishopric Journey in Life and Ministry.
Having a friend is a relationship on its own.
What effort do you put into your friendship with others or Bishopric Colleagues?
Are you growing or are you a living dead?
Your loyalty should not be for defending stupidity.
Allow your friends to be responsible for their mistakes, Yes it is okay.
If your friends are not the least part of your growth in Life, Ministry and in the Bishopric, then you need a rethink.
There is always something great about relationships.
(To Be Continued)
Kingdom Greetings All!
With Lots of Love ❤️
