"There must be perfect co-existence between the stakeholders, Elders, Deacons, deaconesses and the Ministers whom are God's chosen people that he relies upon for the extension of His Kingdom on earth. The way by which the church ministers and all other various workers observe their duties for development of the church is crucial to watch," he said.
The cleric concluded that "if we want our churches to experience genuine growth, the Ministers, elders, deacons, and deaconesses and all other workers must at all times see themselves as tools in the hand of God for the perfection of the saints. Therefore, they must be very careful of how they work together. If their aims, objectives and goals are always for the growth and development of the body of Christ (Church), they must relate well among themselves cordially. They must also be careful not to cause the innocent members of the church to sin by their dealings with each other. Remember that God will not substitute walk with work. Only those who do His will be saved (Matthew 7:21-23)."
