Known for his spiritual depth and generational leadership, Bishop Huntley outlines the five non-negotiables for anyone seeking a ministry not just marked by popularity, but truly blessed by God.

🛐 Key Takeaways – The 5 Requisites for a Blessed Ministry
1. Know God
- Scriptural Foundation: Jeremiah 9:24, Philippians 3:10, Psalm 103:7
- True ministry begins with a deep relationship with God—not just ministry for Him, but time with Him.
- Knowing God comes through His voice, touch, and Word.
- Avoid the trap of replacing relationship with research or internet shortcuts.
2. Know People
- Ministry is relational. Influence grows not by being “interesting” but by being “interested.”
- People rally around four things: doctrine, organization, a person, and a shared cause.
- Build emotional intelligence and engage in real care—ask about their world, not just share yours.
3. Know Truth
- Revival requires a return to the Bible—a “re-Bible.”
- Theologians aren’t elite—they’re students of the Word.
- Conversations should center around Scripture and spiritual insight more than secular trends.
4. Walk in Humility
- True humility isn’t self-deprecation—it’s not thinking of self at all.
- God promotes those who don’t seek the spotlight but live to serve His people.
- Anointing is never for personal gain—it’s because God loves His people.
5. Total Commitment
- Life motto: “If you make God’s business your business, He’ll make your business His.”
- Ministry is a vocation, not a vacation. Give God your best effort.
- Bivocational ministry is valid. What matters is being committed, not whether you're full-time in ministry.
- Don’t use your job as an excuse. Balance work with unwavering dedication to your calling.
