FOLLOWERSHIP

-


WHY ARE THEY FOLLOWING YOU?

Do you really know why some people follow you or look up to you? Some people follow you because of the riches you possess while others follow you because of the God you carry.

Some will want to be your friend because you have connections to big places in form of companies and the likes. 

Do you know why many people followed Jesus from the start but only few of them followed him to the place of his crucifixion?

Some left him because he was not rich with material things. Many left him because he said the truth. There were those who left him because they felt he was using them and also those who left him because their negative mind and disobedient spirit with the worldly wisdom they carried while following him was not yielding any result in their lives. They forgot that negative and positive mindset can't work together. 

So many men of God have failed in our present times because people only follow them because of the riches they possess and they forget that immediately the riches diminish, they'd be left to themselves.

As a pastor, prophet or minister, if people  only follow you based on the material things you possess, you have failed in your calling and ministry. It is not all those material things you possess that will give them life, they can only receive the right and true life in Christ. 

Gospel these days has turned into using material things to entice people to church and when the material things are no longer provided, they leave the church.

That is not the gospel Jesus gave to us on the Cross of Calvary. We have replaced Christ with material things. That is why so many churches struggle in the area of allowing the Holy Spirit to take control of their activities which will in turn affect the lives of their worshippers positivity. 

If as a pastor, your struggling in ministry is as a result of the displacement of the Holy Spirit. Know that we are at the end time.

We need to return to our place of calling before it’s to late.

Jesus is coming soon!

WHY THE COMPETITION?

  Why competing with others? There’s competition everywhere; in families, in schools, in offices, among friends, also in the church. God didn’t create us to compete with ourselves. We all have different assignment on this planet earth, so why competing? Let me start with music ministers. A music minister that still engages in competition with colleagues in the same ministry does not know what he/she is doing. For you to be competing means you are not sure of your ministry, you don’t know what your ministry carries. You don’t have faith in that work committed in your hands. The reason why so many music ministers, pastors, prophets fail in their calling and assignment is because they are not sure of their ministry, they don’t know were God has called them to occupy. They just want to carry the title of a pastor, prophet, music minister, HOD, Apostle, Bishop etc. They forget that there’s a task and assignment assigned to all ministry. Generally in our society, the reason people engage...

DIGNITY

DIGNITY IS A GREAT VIRTUE  Dignity is the state or quality of being worthy of honour or respect.   The only way we can secure our dignity is by not being lazy with our work. A lazy person will loose his/her dignity. A lazy pastor/ prophet will loose his/ her dignity if he/ she refuses to work. A pastor that refuse to study the bible, pray or do spiritual activities will end up loosing his/ her dignity.  They are the types that go from house to house of their church members, eating different kinds of food. Tell me how the church members will respect such a pastor. A full time pastor finding it hard to study the bible, to pray, and be creative with the things of God and develop self in all ramification but only wait for church members to bring offering and tithe before having something to eat or take care of the family will end up loosing his/her dignity.  I have observed that nobody wants to operate in these offices anymore; Pastor  Evangelist  Teacher Every...
