God’s supervisory system is so good that He doesn’t need anybody to check what each of His children is doing. When you work hard for Him, He sees it and rewards you based on His preferences. And if you’re lazy, you cannot bypass His watchful eyes.
One of the most profound questions in ministry, primarily targeted to young and upcoming ministers, is, “Did God call you”? I am writing this article to help anybody battling with the surety of his calling to ministry, and I hope you’ll get your answers after reading it.
Dear one, calm down when it comes to service. God will always reward you for everything you do in ministry and service in the secular workplace. That reward of God will always be greater than what any man will ever give you.
[9] “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” – Galatians 6:9 (NKJV) Gone were the days when a person wanted to send a letter to someone, he would have to use the post office, for […]
Dear one, know that God did not save you to come and sit in the church doing nothing. You are a part of God’s workforce. The Bible says you are His workmanship (see Ephesians 2:10). Refuse to be lazy in ministry!
Did you know that almost everybody on this Earth has debts to pay for? Maybe you are shocked to hear this, but that’s what the Bible says. In Romans 13:7, we are told to give to everyone what we owe them. However, the preceding words in the scripture didn’t state that “money” is the only thing to think about regarding debt! There is more to that!
No matter how big the vision God has given you, it will take work, not just prayer, to reach that height of kingdom influence. Aside from all the prayers you sow into the work God has entrusted into your care, do not forget to labour effectively. Go for wisdom. Research things you don’t understand that are related to your calling, so that you’ll not be bankrupt of the intellectual property you need to soar higher in the realm of kingdom influence.
If God has called you, don’t think or say people will accept your ministry right on the go. No! It doesn’t work like that. You must labour to please the Lord by faithfully doing what He has called you to do, and then you’ll see progress in your calling.
God is not a respecter of persons. He has children and loves each one of us uniquely. So, even though some believers are more spiritually mature than others, it doesn’t mean He allows certain people to go scot-free if such people breach His principles.
Keep watch on your divine mandate because you will give an account of your work before the Lord upon His second coming. Rest when you are tired, but don’t convert your rest period into prolonged procrastination.
Samuel didn’t have a problem hearing God. If he hadn’t heard what God said about Eliab, he would have anointed the wrong king for Israel, and that would have cost the kingdom so much. So, as a leader, especially as an employer, don’t rely solely on the curriculum vitae of prospective employees to choose a person for work, particularly for ministerial work. Let God guide you, and don’t be in a rush.
