Today’s Verse:
"Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes." Psalm 37:7
Prayer for Today :
Heavenly Father,
"If Your bank account is empty, phone Psalm 37" Don't we all love humour?
Phil Hines tells a humourous imaginary story about Jesus walking along the road one day and seeing a man crying. When He asked what was wrong, the man replied, "I'm blind," so Jesus healed him. Further along He met another man in tears and asked him the same question. He replied, "I'm lame," so Jesus healed him. Then He encountered a third man weeping. In response to Jesus' question he replied, "I'm a pastor." So Jesus sat down and wept right along with him! Pastoring can be a thankless job; that's why the Bible says, "Hold them in highest regard."
Is the road of being a pastor and anything related so "deadly"?
The candidate should have at least one recognized theological training. The candidate should speak and communicate fluently in at least one language. The candidate should be able to build good relationships with members of the congregation. The candidate should be approachable, and manifesting the gentleness and humility of Christ. The candidate should have good preaching / communication skills and be able to give relevant teaching/sermon according to the Bible, the Word of God. The candidate should have past experience in giving pastoral and counselling support to those in need (24*7). The candidate should be willing to go on outreach. The candidate should be willing to work without a salary (with a salary but 100% tithing) ...
Father, You give us free choices in life, You let us choose to do what we want to do. But for people who work for You, there is only one requirement: "Do your best to please God. Be a worker who doesn't need to be ashamed. "
In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
