Honouring Your Call To The FGBMF Ministry
By Wong Hong Meng

< Previous, > Next

The FGBMF is a spiritual organization and not a business corporation nor a social club or service organization. Nonetheless, it does have an organization structure, a constitution, rules and by-laws, policies and procedures.

It being a spiritual organization, the owner is God whereas secular organizations are owned by their members.

Our main organizational objective is to do God's will - to achieve the Vision and Mission entrusted to us.

The FGBMF leaders are selected by spiritual insights as clearly defined and expressed in the following scriptures: Ex.18:21 & Acts1:21-26. There are no controlling members or shareholders to select a leader; nor is the process through popular voting. The basis for selection solely rests on the candidate's spiritual maturity, commitment, character and charisma (a divinely inspired gift or power, inspired and bestowed by the Holy Spirit). We do not seek worldly charisma - the exceptional ability to attract and influence others; marked personal charm or magnetism.

We endeavour to do God's will and to glorify God by being a servant to others (Matt.20:27). We do not work for monetary compensation, status, recognition, job satisfaction, self satisfaction, power and business contacts nor use power and authority or power of persuasion in our holy servitude.

Our sole purpose is to achieve what God wants us to do at whatever level He places us at.

When confronted with conflicts, the issues are amicably resolved by applying Matthew 18:15-20 unlike the world using specific processes, procedures, politics and public relations.

We are called, chosen and have responded to God's call to join a spiritual organization. In the secular sector, corporate servants are usually recruited and members volunteer to serve in a social/service organization.

We may leave the FGBMF should God call us to do something else within His will. We do not seek for greener pasture because we serve the same master in the same mission field.

FGBMF members are Called and Chosen. They are Faithful for they know exactly why they are in FGBMF, are serious about their mission, with a servant-heart, willing to make all necessary sacrifices, face all adversities, want to grow spiritually and know their eventual reward.

The FGBMF must remain firm and united in Vision, Mission and Organization. We need to recognize the institution as a spiritual organization, to own the Vision and be committed to the Mission, to respect the organizational structure, the policies and procedures and with the sole purpose to serve God faithfully as a Called, Chosen and Faithful member.

In addition, we are to respect and value each other's role and contribution to the FGBMF ministry, to keep the bond of love for each other and to pray for the Holy Spirit to guide us with wisdom, sensitivity and love.
