This series on the five-fold ministry is based off my handwritten notes, which I took as I attended a church conference on this topic in Mar 2024.

Text: Gen 15, focussing on v11 the vultures

Vultures: Steal our sacrifice to God

Types of vultures:

1. Doubt: Is God saying this, especially when we hit troubles following God’s direction
2. Double cross: Betrayal from within church. For instance, leaders rising up against you, others telling you are a bad leader. Jesus also faced betrayal by Judas.
3. Delay
4. Distractions: Busyness / Other priorities

How to fight the vultures:

1. Stay alive
2. Look at the bigger plan: God showed Abraham the covenant
3. Realise God has it under control: Hold on to God, even if those vultures are screaming
