Ways to follow
Dear man of God, God’s call to ministry may have turned your life around in ways you never imagined. Maybe you’re going through financial struggles you never thought you would. Take heart, for God knows your plight. When you get tempted to give up in ministry, remember Jesus’ promise in Matthew 19:29. You will have more than enough. Just keep being faithful to God in all your ways.
It is common for you to experience struggles during your humble beginnings in starting to actualise the vision God has given you. In those moments when God shows Himself to be faithful, you will learn to depend on Him. Wait on God, acknowledge His Word and follow His leading.
If you’re going to build your home or organisation successfully, you must be determined to build systems and train people to handle those systems so that you’ll get vision-related results. But what you use to build those systems is wisdom. Understanding how what you’ve designed to work is what you need to establish what you’ve built.
God has created work from the book Genesis when He set man over the entire universe to till and subdue it. You are not only to work for food and earthly satisfaction but live a life of purpose and fulfilment. God has called you to impact generations. Live as such!!
You shouldn’t give yourself to everything and everybody while leaving your family aside. Sometimes, withdraw from all things that take your time to spend quality time thinking about making Christ known in your family‘s daily activities.
Complaining that your work, finance, relationships, education, business, or why any area of your life is in shambles doesn’t solve any problem. It is hearing God about that situation that changes everything. Will you go and pray about that situation, hear God and follow His Word, or you’ll keep complaining?
In Galatians 6:9, the Bible urges us to continue doing good to people as Christians without growing weary. But why? Because there’s a due season to reap our labour of good works.
Don’t underwork yourself. In other words, don’t settle for less just because what’s in your hands to do right now is little. Invest in yourself. Pay the price to acquire more divine knowledge, even if your level is insignificant today. So that when it’s God’s due time to lift you, you’ll not be bankrupt of wisdom to sustain you at that level.
Dear minister, serve with God’s strength, which He supplies, not yours. Stop depending on your human strategies to do what He has called you to do. Depend on Him.
It is not just Church leaders who are priests. We are all priests, and we have the responsibility of ministering to God, being ambassadors of light on this earth, and teaching others the difference between what is holy and profane.
Ministry is in phases. You cannot be rigid in one style, or else you cannot minister to diverse people.
Dear servant of God, what do you use to do the work? Is it your ability, skillset, knowledge or expertise in your career? Your knowledge may be essential for God’s work. However, don’t ever place it as a higher priority in your mind than the supplicative ability of God to serve Him. Or else you’ll do yourself a lot of harm.
