What is Christian drama :-
To different drama ministers drama have different definitions. I strongly believe that Christian drama is holy ghost inspired message, received through divine information, or revelation and presented on stage or electronic media by regenerated born again children of God with the aim of soul wining and restoration.
2. Christian drama is a highly effective medium for the dissemination of information to the body of Christ and the world at large; it have high communication value and potentials
3. Christian drama is a creative art that are divinely designed to communicate the message of Christ. Drama has the most universal appeal and impact it is a worldwide language that can be grasped by the illiterate and the educated.
EVANGELISM Evangelism could be defined as the proclamation of the good tidings of eternal life in Christ. Further more evangelism is having a consuming passion for the redemption of lost souls. MINISTRY Ministry is the act of ministering, rendering service, or performing duties as designed and assigned by God. Many in the Christendom in many parts in the world including some ministers in the pulpit ministries do not recognized drama as a ministry, meaning that the potency of drama evangelism is not recognized.
Drama is seen as side attraction in many Christian programmes. This lack of recognition by such ministers has caused disinterested in some such that they take up drama as a hobby, entertainment or part time ministries. “But God choose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, God choose the weak things of world to shame the strong. He choose the lowly things of this world to and despised things and the things that are not to bring to nought things that are 1cor 1:27-28 Drama in real sense is not only for entertainment, it corrects, educates, informs and edifies.
WHO IS AN EVANGELICAL DRAMA MINISTER Evangelical drama minister is a born again Christian with calling from God to work in the ministry of reconciliation with the sole aim of using his talents, gifts of drama to win soul for Christ.
SPIRITUAL ATTRIBUTES OF DRAMA EVANGELIST A minister of God must posses some Godly characters that will qualify him to operate in the office he has been assigned to.
The following have been identified as the key attributes of a drama minister a) A drama minister must be a consecrated child of God. b) The drama evangelist must be faithful and loyal to the lordship, of Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of our faith ; it will be good for that servant whom the master find doing so (his work) when he returns. c) The drama evangelist must be totally committed to the lord’s service.
Nehemiah confirm the importance of commitment to the duty” so we rebuild the wall till all of it reached half of its height for the people worked with all their heart “. Do your work as slaves cheerfully as though you serve the lord and not merely human beings Eph 6:7- 8 d) He must be approved and separated to function in the drama ministry. e)Total focus on God for his message all the time is a must. He revealeth the deep and secret things he knoweth what is in the darkness and the light dwelleth with him Daniel 2:22 f)
POSSESION:- A drama evangelist must posses a teachable spirit he must be humble to learn from senior and experienced drama ministers. g)AVAILABILTY:- The drama minister must be available to perform his ministerial duties. Do not turn down invitation unnecessary. it has been know some ministeries do not honour invitation from small congregation, this ought not to be so. “then I heard the voice of the Lord saying whom shall I send and who will go for us and I said here I am send me Isaiah 6:8 h)
ACCOUNTABILITY: God is the director of ministries so all ministers should be accountable to him . The minister should work or serve according to the dictate of the holy spirit “ Every one of us then will have to give account to God Rom:14:12. I)A drama evangelist should posses confidence and courageous spirit in order to fulfill his ministry. One should not look back but move on towards his high calling in the lord for a prize that lasts.
CHAPTER 2 THE BIRTH OF A DRAMA MINISTRY But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound goen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty and base things of the world, and things which are not despised hath God chosen, yea and things which are not to bring to nought thins that are 1 cor 1:27-28
Drama ministry is a God ordained ministry that God establish for the purpose of causing true conviction, restoration, revival and repentance in the life of the audience. Since drama ministry is a divine assignment given to his servants it must have divine way of establishing it.
The visioneer or the set man usually go through divine process before the birth of the drama ministry.
He continually longs to open the inner eyes of the sinners and lukewarm believers to bring them to the feet of the Lord. A drama minister without a compassionate heart for the lost will not be able to save others by all means i.e. acting. Drama ministry is known to be fruitful when it won soul and expatiate the kingdom of God.
Secondly on this point is genuine calling by God. The origin of the drama starts from your calling” and I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful , putting me into the ministry 1tim 1:12 The truth is that it is only the ministers of God called into drama ministry that can work successfully in the field of drama evangelism.
The ministry is full of trials, temptations and lots of hardship. The drama evangelist is subject to negative attack because through his ministration Satan and his cohorts are exposed to the world. “See today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow to build and plant. Jer 1:10 if one is not called he may be forced to abandon the ministry for another, one because he may lack the anointing to fulfill in the ministry.
In the book of Acts 13:26 we understand that Barnabas and Paul had been called and set apart for their work by the holy spirit, that means they are called according to God’s purpose. Steps into the ministry starts from divine calling. Thirdly the chosen :- Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the father in my name he may give it to you Jhn 15:16.
The purpose why God choose his ministers is to bear fruit that will endure in the kingdom of God. At this end time God has chosen his own for exploits in the ministry. Unto these ones he has given the staff or rod to perform. He has equipped his chosen one’s with necessary requirements for God’s services. No soldier goes to war at his own expense. The book of Matthew says for many are called but few are chosen many people developed interest in the ministry but few are the chosen ones that have being ordained and empowered by the holy spirit to break the devil’s kingdom down.
Fourthly strong achievable heaven oriented vision. WHAT IS VISION:- Vision is the God’s purpose or assignment. clear picture inner divine revelation for one’s life or future. It may be received through God’s calling prayer, dream or divine revelation. Vision can also be defined as an idea, burning zeal or burden concerning spiritual issue. The vision will propelled you forward in your endeavor even in the presence of discouragement obstacles or problems it will make you to remain focused and work hard toward achieving your God given goal or making your dream a reality.
It will give you stability in life through divine vision God speaks to the called ministers his intent and purpose. The purpose for which he wants the ministry established will be revealed. No Christian ministry can succeed without a vision. One truth about it is that with every divine vision God makes all round provision. Each vision also has its times of materialization. The book of Habakkuk says that the revelation ( vision ) awaits an appointed time; through it may tarry it will certainly come Habakkuk 2:3
FIFTH IS GIFT AND TALENT:- The book of Ephesians 4:11-12 says God gave gift to people, he appointed some to be apostles others to be prophets, evangelist, pastors, teachers e.t.c. The drama evangelist should be good custodian of God’s gift and talent. God gives gift to prepare his servants for the work of Christian service, in order to build up the body of Christ. A gift opens the way for the given and usher him to the presence of the great in the society. A drama minister is usually given a talent to perform or act.
A gift always accompanies a call. The Bible tells us that there are many gifts but the holy spirit gives according to his will. Under the umbrella of drama there are many other categories or simply specialization area that one can specialize. It is not advisable for all the drama ministers to be actor or actress.
All the divers gift in drama ministry are for the perfection of the entire drama production. Each man is made a servant of gospel by God’s special gift, which he gives through the working of his power Ephesians 3:7
THE SIX FACTORS TO CONSIDER IS THE ANNOINTING – FOR – EXPLOIT. The anointing refers to the consecration, dedication and setting apart of a person to serve God in ministry. It is the anointing of the holy spirit that commissioned one into a ministerial office. When the anointing was transformed from Elijah to Elisa, he automatically received power and authority in his prophetic ministry. The anointing will always make difference in the drama ministry and ministration.
It is the presence of the power of God, the spirit and grace, to minister and carry out God’s special assignment.
Seven. The drama leader and the members must take a bold step of faith towards achieving their set goals in the ministry and fulfilling their vision. The minister should not fear or procrastinate to take the necessary action towards making exploits in the drama ministry. The leader should seek the face of the Lord in prayer, fasting, scripture searching for other steps to be taken; i.e. members and mission, training, getting invitation, ministration e.t.c
“To the weak become I as weak, that I might gain the weak; I am made all things to men. That I might by all means save some ; and this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker there of with you. 1 cor 9 : 22 - 23 1.

Drama ministry is a God ordained ministry that God establish for the purpose of causing true conviction, restoration, revival and repentance in the life of the audience. Since drama ministry is a divine assignment given to his servants it must have divine way of establishing it.
The visioneer or the set man usually go through divine process before the birth of the drama ministry.
Firstly The leader must posses burning zeal and strong
Compassion for the lost. That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart for I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh Rom 9:2-3 The verse stated above show us how Apostle Paul is greatly troubled for those who are in the world. In the drama ministry the drama evangelist through his medium and his message must show his real or genuine love for the lost in the world, then through the exploits of his ministry.He continually longs to open the inner eyes of the sinners and lukewarm believers to bring them to the feet of the Lord. A drama minister without a compassionate heart for the lost will not be able to save others by all means i.e. acting. Drama ministry is known to be fruitful when it won soul and expatiate the kingdom of God.
