The fact that ministry is not rush doesn't mean you should relax and lazy about. 

Patience is not so much about sitting and waiting, but more about what you actually do while waiting. 

"Patience is not just waiting but what you do while waiting"

Start thinking through that vision, write it down. Find out those who have used that same path and study them, their weaknesses, strengths and pitfalls. Start working on that book. Start fasting and  praying into that ministry and develop yourself in preparation for that moment. Visit people who are linked with your purpose, talk to them and take lessons and inspiration from them. Honor senior ministers in your life. Treat Fathers in the ministry as fathers, seniors as seniors, big brothers as big brothers and brothers as brothers. Don't break this ethics. Avoid soo many friends, it can become a canker that will punch holes later in your future. Spend time in God's presence and hear from him directly yourself. 

Yes,  God works with time but doesn't work with lazy people who are undisciplined in certain areas of their life. 

Finally, never forget this:

Leaders are readers. Anyone who wants to lead people in future must be a crazy reader. Read at least two chapters of a good book everyday. This broadens and widens your mind and soon the scope of your influence. Don't be a lazy reader. Read to understand, read to make notes, read to apply and read to practice. Buy yourself dairies and learn to write things down. Journaling forms a greater part of your spirituality. 

If you do this in the waiting process, I can assure you'll end up like David. Like David, when your opportunity to shine comes, you don't miss it, you embrace it with confidence. 

Service, humility and honor are your secret to exaltation. If leave these out of your fasting, prayer and seed sowing you’ll become like a sparked engine without an accelerator. Keep moving and never give up any other day.
