The ability to use various online platforms to host meetings, have made it easier for “all kinds” of invitations to be extended. When inviting a minister to speak in your online platform ensure it is really worth it.

I prepare for every speaking engagement, and this takes hours, it is therefore important that every invitation is worth the time. It is easier to speak to three people physically (on-site) because there is interaction and fellowship than to be invited to speak online to two or three people.

While we are not despising the days of little beginnings, we must know that we have limited time.

There is no use having 100 people in your WhatsApp group and only 5 people are online for an international summit on Telegram. If you want to get a speaker for an online event ensure you do your ground work and ensure members of your team have committed their time.

There is also the place of “honour”, the fact that it is online does not negate the place of honouring the minister, as this is scriptural.

We must not abuse access, and abuse the technological platforms that God has given us, make a proper online invite the same way you would do an on-site invite.

The days ahead are crucial and time is of essence.
