To be more confident and doubtless in fulfilling your divine mandate, you need always to remember what God told you when you were beginning. When you feel like giving up, remember God’s promises. Have God ever forsaken you? Of course not! He is always with you, although you may not always be aware of His presence in your life.
It’s essential to understand that ministry is full of sacrifice. However, there are some privileges in Christ for ministers too, and if you are unaware of them or do not insist on them, you won’t enjoy them. One of them is what Paul shared in Galatians 6:6 (NKJV).
There are situations and conditions on this Earth that will never change. And because of this, it is essential to note that you can always press on to do something special for your pastor, no matter the prevailing factors.
As a pastor, you don’t have to request any physical provision from your congregants. Let God do His work by touching their lives to bless you. But for you, focus on the work. Also, as a congregant reading this, consider factoring in some expenses in your budget purposely for your pastor. You’ll be fulfilling Scripture as you do this, and God will bless you.
As believers and ambassadors of the kingdom of God on earth, God gives us the power to do whatever He wills. The power to cast out devils, to heal the sick, to preach the good news belongs to us in Christ. But we must use it.
Declaring ‘amen’, without a relationship with Jesus Christ (Matthew 6:33), is impotent. Amen isn’t a magic word that causes you to get whatever you pray for; it is an affirmation of faith.
Wisdom is better than wealth. If you get divine wisdom, the riches, wealth and honour will follow. But if you chase after wealth without wisdom, you will get the money, but it won’t last because you won’t have the capacity to sustain it.
God is still in the business of turning nobodies into somebodies. No matter how bad your beginning is, keep serving Him. His honour on your life will keep increasing, and He will keep rewarding you even for your secret labours.
The goal of marriage is to keep the godly covenant between a man and his wife, not merely to seek comfort or revenge. Therefore, in both good and bad times, couples should learn how to live with each other and go through every situation.
When your mind is attuned to God, earthly things and possessions won’t be of much bother to your mind. It will help you plan your acquisition of those material possessions when you are able, but won’t make it your primary reason for toiling each day to get them.
In choosing your friends, remember that the quality of your relationships will significantly impact the course of your life. Choose friends who share your values, support your growth, and challenge you to become the person God has called you to be. Be the kind of friend you would want to have, and trust that God will bring the right people into your life at the right time.
Like Joseph, who endured suffering before he was divinely exalted, those who remain steadfast will see God’s faithfulness. Lean on His grace, for it is sufficient. In the end, the sweet aftertaste of enduring love far outweighs the bitterness of temporary struggles. Keep loving Jesus; your perseverance will not go unrewarded.
