Motivation For Ministry

One of my American professors wrote an article Motivating Factors for Ministry. He asked: "What motivates you in ministry?" He listed the following: 
• Finishing well
• The return of Christ
• One's giftedness
• Confidence in the power of the gospel
• A burden to minister
• The resurrection
• Handling God's Word for impact
• The perspective of eternity, and
• Love for Christ.
My own no. 1 motivating factor has been God's faithfulness. OBSERVATION: While this does not appear in my professor's list, it is common in Africa. Motivating factors in America and Africa are different, although not of course entirely.
