THE PRICE OF BEING A PASTOR
Being a Pastor is listed among the four most difficult professions or task in the World, since it requires and demands a lot from since he is a messenger from the Lord. A Pastor then must be a good:
•Preacher
•Example
•Father
•Husband
•Counselor
•Conference caller
•Planner
•Minister
•Visionary
•Director
•Mentor
•Friend
•Reconciliator
•Marriage counselor
•Youth Counselor
•Leader's trainer
•Bible teacher
•Person who always prays for the congregants and their families, etc etc
And beside being:
•Keeper of the temple
•Cleaning staff,
Every Pastor constantly confronts many different critics and things, such as:
> The Pastor doesn't visit me,
> Sermon was too long,
> The the song was not that good,
> The building of the church is too Old and cold,
> He preached about me or my case,
> He ignored me in the street and never shook my hand.
Etc....
One of the most difficult things in the life of a Pastor is to know that at some point the people they love will abandon or even betray them.
The Pastor is often the loneliest person in the congregation.
You may see a Pastor be surrounded by people, but very rarely people who are interested in their problems, needs or even in their lives.
If you have a Pastor as a friend take care of them, pray for them, connect with vision that God gave them, support them, but above all LOVE them. Remember they are human and in the same way they go through the same needs as you.
Even if you don’t believe it, many of them have sacrificed comforts, rest, personal plans and so many things including some of their own family’s needs to attend God’s call.
Value the time a Pastor puts into work, the prayers he makes for everyone, the burden he voluntarily carries for the MINISTRY and for EVERYONE. You don't know how much he'd appreciate knowing you do.
Jeremiah 3:15
And I will give you shepherds according to my own heart, who shall lead them with knowledge and understanding.
FOR ALL PASTORS 🙏
THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO! DON'T STOP, DON'T BE DISCOURAGED, HE WHO CALLED US IS FAITHFULL.
Hebrews 13:7-8,17,20-21
Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account.
Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.
May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever.
Amen 💐 💐 💐 💐
