Wise delegation of responsibilities is vital for a church or ministry to thrive and press forward in the purposes of God. Without it, leaders will become overwhelmed, lose the vision of the church, and fail to develop the untapped resources around them. In Colossians 4:7-9, we discover the seven principles of delegation, and how to determine the best candidates for the transition of responsibilities.
7Tychicus will tell you all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant1 in the Lord. 8I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts, 9and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here.
The challenge for today’s churches to remain rooted in the truth of the Gospel is not new. In fact, the church in Colossae during the days of the Apostle Paul was influenced by many worldly falsehoods, including superstition, mythology and even simple error in doctrinal translation. In his letter to the Colossians, Paul imposes two key messages which are as applicable today as they were then. First, he re-confirms that all things were created and hold together through Jesus Christ and that we must walk with Him and hold steadfast to our faith in His saving power. Paul then provides practical application for Christian living which we can still look to as a continual source of direction and guidance.
