Aspiring For A Platform

Kingdom Greetings Brothers,

Here is my personal definition of what it means to have a ministry platform. Check it out and then read Tony Morgans article concerning the issues associated with such a privilege.

"A Platform is simply when the Grace of God brings us to the place where others intently listen for the treasure of "His Voice" through the flawed container of "our earthen vessel". This increased scope of influence is afforded solely for the advancement of his Kingdom purposes! "

Now consider the wisdom below by Tony Morgan. WOW!

*No one owes you a platform.

*Sometimes someone who is trusted can help you get a moment on the platform, but you still have to deliver to keep it.

*The harder you try to have a platform, the harder it is to get it.

*If you do what you’re designed to do and you are faithful to stick with it over time, there’s a good chance you’ll have a platform.

*Not all platforms are created equal, but all have the opportunity to positively impact the lives of others.

*Relationships are the foundation of a platform. If you can’t build relationships, you can’t have a platform.

*The person who yells the loudest doesn’t necessarily get the platform.

*If you never stop and listen, you probably won’t get the platform either.

*If it’s just about you, you don’t have a platform.

*You’ll lose your platform if you don’t continue to use it for positive change. You have to move people to a better place.

*You’re more likely to leverage your platform if you tell stories that engage both the head and the heart.

*You’re more likely to keep your platform if you ask questions.

*If people can’t have access to you and your daily life, your platform is probably shrinking whether you know it or not.

*Platforms are established over time and lost in an instant.

*Lots of people want a platform, but very few are gifted to have a platform and even fewer are humble enough to keep it.
