Honour Your Pastor Willingly
Just as you expect the company you work for to pay you at the end of each month, honour your pastor willingly from your pocket. He is your teacher and instructor in God’s house.

To pay the price to focus on God, you’d have to let some relationships die in your life.
Never be so stringent on protecting your life that you’ll not allow God to flexibly instruct you to do things that are according to His ways.
If God says David’s generation, who are now believers in Christ, may possess the remnant of Edom, it means that unbelievers have taken authority over in every realm of life and will eventually be overtaken by believers.
Serving selflessly in Christ will always result in serving others who, under normal circumstances, should serve you. But he who serves others is great. Never think you’re subservient for serving God.
It is never good to be partial to the wicked and deprive the innocent of justice. That means don’t place justice ahead of ungodly favour.
Be like the praying Epaphras, maybe not for another church but for yourself, your family and your ministry. I assure you that things will turn around for your good in ways unimaginable.
Dear Christian, your impact on the world won’t always be about preaching to people in church. It’ll mostly be evident in how you interact with the people you meet. Fill your mind with the Word of God, and you’ll be wise to interact with people well while leaving a godly impact on them.
Bear the persecution because the price of your salvation is worth Jesus’ own blood. Once again, live the rest of your life to please God. He is with you and will never leave you.
Are you willing to adjust your lifestyle to save some unbelievers for the Lord or to live a filthy lifestyle like theirs?

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” — 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NKJV)
As you follow Jesus, there are some attitudes, possessions and behaviours you can’t carry with you anymore. That’s when you’ll start laying them aside.
