About 'DRAMA MINISTRY'

Let's be straight.
Drama is acted. It's faked. It's not real. It's illusion trying to catch up with reality.
In acting, playing on the psychology and emotion of your audience is topmost priority.
That is why so much is spent on the production of 'big movies' so as to make it look as real as possible. Or better put, to deceive the audience as much as possible. The actors must talk, express, in such a way that the falseness is not obvious.
I remember watching a movie with someone sometimes ago and I kept analysing, and debunking their tricks and pointing out the errors. This person had to tell me to stop analyzing or just go away cos I won't let enjoy the movie. Lol.
Now that's the point!
It's all a bundle of tricks and make-beliefs and all it takes to 'destroy' it is to bear in mind that IT'S NOT REAL...
Imagine we using these kind of method to preach the gospel.
No intelligent unbeliever will receive such gospel, cos he knows it's all staged.
Trying to convince him God's power can raise the dead using a dead that is not really dead.
He'll just laugh it off.

Do sinners get 'convicted' via filmshows especially during village outreaches.
Yes.
But then, we should know we just took advantage of their illiteracy or inexposure to make them accept our message.
That's tantamount to manipulation.
That's against the nature of the gospel we preach.
Our message must be presented in such a way that it can't be faulted by common sense.
It must be presented In plainness of speech, not deceits, playing on men's emotions, stage management.
It's REALITY must remain a REALITY to all men irrespective of who they are.

We were given a message and we're given the method to spread it.

Open your mouth and preach...with REAL signs and wonders following!

Some leadings of the spirit that would make a huge difference in your life when followed may not come via spectacular 'encounters', visions, trances etc.
They may just come like promptings, impressions, nudges on your heart.
Do not ignore because they come simple, mild and undramatic.
Many have been preserved from grave dangers, escaped years of waste etc because they heeded a simple urge.

The Apostle Paul speaks of earthly riches as being "uncertain". 1Tim.6:17.
And of course, he was writing to believers.
So now since we see that there is no certainty that a believer would have riches in this world, how is the believer then expected to live and thrive?
Again the Apostle Paul gave a strong clue...
Philippians 4:12 (KJV) I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
We must know to how to abound when there's much and abase when we have little.
How to handle ourselves in fullness and in hunger.
How we let neither of the states dictate the state of our heart, or control us.
This is a vital spiritual skill every believer must learn.
Paul said in the previous verse.
Philippians 4:11 (KJV) Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
In WHATSOEVER STATE I am, to be CONTENT...
This is something to take very good note of.
Sometimes we might think we only need to be contented when we have little.
But Paul is saying, "in whatsoever state...." This implies that even in much, we must also practice contentment.
We must know when to stop acquiring unnecessarily.... We don't have to get all the brands and colors available in market. We must not be materialistic believers.
This is how to abound in plenty.
In lack too...
And this 'how' is summarized in one word - Contentment.
We must all learn this.
