Increasing Your Personal Capacity, Author Eddie Windsor

Sometimes in life there are things we do that seem very insignificant or just simply routine at the moment we do them. An example for me was the day I stood in a bungalow in the Country of Wales taking a few minutes to pray for local pastors. I had been traveling from church to church speaking on the topic of reaching lost people. That

week as I had shared with several pastors there was a common theme I kept hearing, “That would be hard”. As I stood in my study praying I remember hearing myself say these words, “God everything is too hard for this pastor - he is being defined by what is hard in his life” As I said those words I remember thinking to myself, what did I just say? I sat down at my desk and wrote these words; whatever you find hard in life has the potential to define your life. In that bungalow I wrote the book “Increasing Your Personal Capacity”

Here’s what pastors have to say about the book “Increasing Your Personal Capacity”

Judah & Chelsea Smith. Lead Pastors of The City Church, By Eddie Windsor

Last night as Judah and Chelsea Smith were about to become the lead pastors of The ty Church I began to reflect on the dozens of wonderful services I have attended like this in my life time. But as the night unfolded I think everyone in the room began to realize we were witnessing a historic event with great spiritual significance. That this was not just another ceremony conceived in the hearts of men but it truly was orchestrated by God. As prophetic words were spoke over them the tangible presence of God could felt. The entire congregation jumped to their feet and erupted in applause lasting for minutes as Judah and Chelsea were set in as lead pastors.

There was a moment in the service when Pastor’s Wendell and Gini presented Judah and Chelsea with a beautifully bound leather book. This book contained letters of wisdom, council and guidance written to them by minister’s of the gospel like Paul Yonggi Cho, Oral Roberts, Joyce Myers, Casey Treat, TD Jakes, and John Maxwell just to name a few. It was a great honor that a letter I had written was included in this book to Judah and Chelsea.

Judah and Chelsea,

I have traveled to hundreds of churches around the world working with lead pastors. I can honestly say that the majority of these ministers are wonderful people with a demonstrated call of God on their lives. Many of them are extremely gifted in their platform ministry yet find themselves struggling in other areas. In this letter I want to give you three thoughts that I would like you to consider as you open this new chapter of your life.

1) Why the Gift in you is not for you.
Judah there is no doubt a God given gift is in you. My father Edward Windsor said this to me when I started in ministry and now I pass it onto you. He said son if you will hold your gift with an open hand God will do great things through your life. But if you hold your gift too tightly or if you dictate to God what you will or will not do with your gift it will be useless. You are a steward of the gift but remember our God owns the gift in you. Many ministers have somehow gotten this backwards.

Remember this Judah, It is about the gift in you… but it is not about the gift in you for you… it is for the body of Christ. So keep this thought in the back of your mind.

2) Why your eyes lose focus

There is a pressure that comes along with being a pastor that moves stuff into your focus and drives people into your peripheral - that is backwards. Judah one of the greatest challenges I have faced is to not become focused of the peripheral. You know what I mean. We are in the people business and the people business is messy business. Everyday there will be a myriad of issues that try to force their way into your force.

An example would be your marriage. Chelsea must stay the center your focus and other women must be forced out, way out into your peripheral. We see what happens when a person gets this backwards – it’s a formula for disaster. The same is true in the church. There will be things that seem important, they will push hard trying to make their way into your focus. It takes prayer, biblical wisdom, relationships and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to get your focus right.

Ephesians 1:19-23 The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which He speaks and acts, by which He fills everything with His presence. (The Message Bible)

As a pastor I have learned it is important that I keep the stuff in my peripheral. Your success has a lot to do with the focus you choose.


3) What to do when you become paralyzed
Judah everyday you will be bombarded by questions that need to be answered. A steady stream of thousands of questions of life and ministry opportunities and challenges will flood your mind. As a pastor you will have so many questions coming your way it’s paralyzing. This is the simple solution I use. Answer a dozen big questions then get ready to watch thousands of little nagging questions disappear automatically.

Let me give you an example, before you were married you had millions of options. Everywhere you looked you saw options but by saying “I do to Chelsea” you answered the number one big question. With one big question answered millions of smaller questions disappeared automatically. Now when you walk down the street and you see a beautiful woman you are not bombarded with questions like, “what would it be like to be with her or I wonder if she noticed me” once and for all you answered that one big question now millions of little questions are gone forever. The same is true in ministry.

One more thing, I learned this the hard way, often what seems like the little insignificant questions are really the big questions and the big things that are pressing you for answers are really the little questions. It’s easy to tell the difference between a little question and big question. After you answer a little question you will not notice much if any difference but after a big question is answered watch hundreds of other questions disappear.

Judah I want to say how proud I am to see the man of God you have become.

Your friend always,
Eddie Windsor
