Apostle Bishop Eddie A. Montgomery Family Bible Ministries Worldwide, Inc.
1. How have you seen ministry change in the last 40 years? For the most part, ministry has remained the same. However, there are different approaches to ministry, some including technology, which has advanced the way people can see ministry. Computers has made it easier for ministry to become global. Globalized in the sense that social media now plays a very important role today. 2. What would be your advice to someone entering the ministry? Be very sure of the calling on your life. Make sure you have Godly leadership that accepts and understands your call. Pray that you may have an obsession to make the proper preparation for your calling. 3. Are there any mistakes or things that you would do over again differently? There are no mistakes I would do over knowingly. However, one of the benefits of growing is placing oneself under an uncommon mentor. These individuals will help you to progressively do things differently. 4. Your ministry model is very successful, but what do you see as an area for improvement? One area of improvement would be to further rely on the Word of God as our guidance, along with the Holy Spirit as the power to enlighten team members to see the vision more clearly. 5. What are the sacrifices you have had to make: Family, Friends, Health, etc.? In ministry there are hidden sacrifices that have to be made. In my case, one of those sacrifices was my family. Family in the sense that there was a battle of separation between natural versus spiritual family. When family began to understand that there was great joy in being both natural and spiritual, it alleviated the need for sacrifices because of the joy in fellowship.

to publish more books. Currently we have 5 published books: 1. Living Victoriously 2. Practical Principles of Christian Education 3. Insight for Christian Counselors 4. Christ Jesus‌.In Every Book of the Bible 5. Covenants of the Bible We plan to embrace more radio and television ministries. We further plan to resurrect our gospel track ministry to go more global. We have a program in place encouraging qualified alumni persons to embrace their ability to open churches, schools, and colleges to become more local and global. 7. Who has been your greatest strength in your development as a pastor? My greatest strength in developing as a Pastor came from my parents the late Prophet Leroy and Laura Montgomery, along with a host of other men and women of God which is too many to name without leaving names off. 8. What do you like to do to relax when not preaching and teaching? Besides preaching and teaching for relaxation, I like to spend time with my wife and family. I also like to travel for educational and recreational purposes. 9. How important has your Church Family been and what do you want them to know about how you feel about them? They are a key reason for me being where I am, who I am in ministry and the ministry ability to meet needs in the body of Christ to win the lost. I love my church family. I believe that this is something they would want to know. 10. Forty years is a significant number in the Bible, what does this number mean to you that God has allowed you see it? 40 years to me means completion of Phase One. These 40 years has prepared me for the next level of ministry in terms of, I can hit the road running. I know clearly what the Lord expects.

Think On These Things By Grace J. Wingo
Don’t Move Until You See It
Now then, stand still and see this great thing the LORD is about to do before your eyes! I Samuel 12:16 (NIV) In the movie, Searching for Bobby Fischer, Max is playing his opponent in the big championship game. He has the path to win the game, but doesn’t know
the move to make. His mentor’s voice is in his head saying, “Don’t move until you see it.” He meant don’t move a piece until you see how it will play out.
Max’s mentor was teaching him a life lesson. Until you see the move, and its advantages, until it is clear as day, don’t move. Stay put.
God is ahead of you clearing the path, making the crooked things straight and
the rough places smooth. If you move before God shows you the way or the
steps to take, you may miss a step, take a wrong turn, bump into something or someone, or make a costly mistake. You might miss your help.
After this last big blizzard, my Mom walked out of her apartment after it had just snowed and there was ice everywhere on the sidewalks. She just stood there for a while looking for a clear path and waiting. She could see the path
to the parking lot, but couldn’t see how to move on the icy walkway. And
then she saw one of the maintenance people and called him over to help her. She didn’t move until she saw it.
This is an excellent approach to life. Whatever you are trying to do, whatever you are waiting for, whatever you are looking for, don’t move until you see it. Don’t move until you can see the path God has laid out for you. You will
know it when you see it. And it will be in alignment with your purpose in life. It will be crystal clear.

THE CHURCH TEA
FIERCE WOLVES
I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; Acts 20:29 There are lots of reasons why a church may lack growth, and many pastors may never know why their church membership dwindles. Perhaps it is not the offerings, the service times or the sermon. Maybe it is not the music or the sound system either. Quite possibly it is the Fierce Wolves. If that is the case, troubles may be traced back to the wolf in sheep’s clothing. You might have seen her. It is that one woman (or man) who has forged such a “wannabe” tight relationship with a pastoral group that she alienates others in the congregation, creates division and ultimately drives members away. Proverbs 26:26: Their malice may be concealed by deception, but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. This person may remain cordial in the pastor’s presence but in his absence she becomes arrogant, aloof and entitled. She will never have as much class as the First Lady yet her vanity overflows.

While this type of spiritual predator may be male or female and come in all shapes and sizes, here are some common, telltale signs of one in the flock: She is often semi-attractive and vocal. She has been attending the same church for years and is dedicated. She listens to no other man except the pastor and all the available men in the church have been given the vapors because she is only interested in the man in the pulpit. She screams louder than his significant other as soon as he walks into the sanctuary and acts like his biggest fan. Lastly, while she seems harmless, she devours members one by one. If these words resonate with you, then know that we are all falling short of the glory of God and there is room at the cross for you and me. Until next time be sure to listen to me and Rev. Wingo on WOLB 1010AM Friday’s from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. as we discuss community issues and events in the faith based communities. Email me: annwilliams@ramovers.com.
Her deception is clothed in duel interpretation. So she goes unchecked, fashioned in the spirit of Jezebel. Revelation 2:20: But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is
