READ: Colossians 1:21-29
“…but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” – 1 Corinthians 15:10
Everyone must realize that doing the work of the ministry involves spending a lot of energy. Do not be surprised if you get tired doing the work of a pastor. It is only a sign that you are working well. Most good jobs leave their employees exhausted.
Do not be surprised if the ministry leaves you tired and worn out. Another thing that you will expend is money. Does it not cost you money to go to work everyday? Do you not spend money at work for lunch everyday?
It is the same thing with the work of ministry. Why should you complain if you have to pay money to travel to wait on the Lord? Why should you complain if you have to spend money buying books and CDs that you need?
Make no mistake about it. Waiting on God, catching the anointing and revelation by the guidance of the Spirit is hard work. Praying, visiting, counselling and interacting with people is hard work.
Work hard by expending your energy and money on the church.
“But by the grace (the unmerited favor and blessing) of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not [found to be] for nothing (fruitless and without effect). In fact, I worked harder than all of them [the apostles], though it was not really I, but the grace (the unmerited favor and blessing) of God which was with me” ( 1 Corinthians 15:10, Amlified Bible).
