Serve with God’s Strength, Not Yours
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.

Avoid following popular opinions of people to do things God has not told you to do. Finding direction in life is not about following the trend but the voice of God.
Don’t let another believer’s dissimilar attitude destroy your countenance at times. Sometimes, God wants to teach you great things through the behaviours of such people and several life encounters whenever they are around.
Faithfulness, they say is one of the key needs in every minister’s life. Whether you’re a ministry head, a church worker or an employee in a workplace, your faithfulness will be tested. Will you do what you’re told to do without supervision? Or you’ll be a slack person who needs to be dragged by your boss or pastor to do what’s expected of you?
God’s compassions never fail. Why? Because they are new every morning. It will never fade.
God counted you faithful before putting you into the ministry. He knew you’d mess up sometimes, make mistakes, mishandle opportunities and even commit evil acts sometimes unconsciously. But He’s focused on your roots – what’s within you, not the filth you’re letting out.
Everything God gives to you is a test tool. If you’re faithful to manage it, He’ll reward you with expansion.
God knows every single detail about your life. Before you got saved, He vowed to be faithful to you.
So God is too concerned about Your life that He made provisions to help you before you even got into any trouble.
There are several kinds of faithfulness because life is diversified. In terms of work, there’s faithful service. In terms of marriage, it’s called marital fidelity. All these are important. However, Jesus spoke about three kinds of faithfulness in Luke 16:10-12, one in each verse. And in this article, I’ll be going deeper into each of them. Let’s dive in.
Discomfort doesn’t mean God is telling you to move away. Discern what He’s doing in each season in your life, and don’t let circumstances determine your countenance.
Jesus has promised that there’s an assurance for you to progress if you’ll be a faithful overseer of whatever you have. See faithfulness as a report card. If you excel, God will take you higher.
Don’t deceive yourself by making yourself available in spiritual gatherings, yet having your mind too made up to listen and practice the Word of God preached. Apply what you learn from the Word.
