(If you are not a pastor, share it with yours.)
So, it’s today…and you feel like a three-legged cat on a hot tin roof!
From all the research I’ve seen…in these days, pastors are tempted to quit, to give up… to just walk away and start a brand-new job as a people greeter at Wal Mart.
Just remember…
#1 – God called you…and it wasn’t to get to this place so He can drop you on your face! (Philippians 1:6)
#2 – God WILL build HIS church! (Matthew 16:18)
#3 – God did not necessarily promise to deliver you from the fire…but He did promise to walk with you through it! (Isaiah 43:1-3)
#4 – There is MORE in STORE for your life and ministry! (Hosea 10:12)
#5 – When we obey the voice of God, we are unstoppable (Joel 2:11)
#6 – Have courage, be strong, don’t back down from what He has called you to do! (I Corinthians 16:13)
#7 – God didn’t call you because of your greatness but rather because of HIS…and HE’S STILL GREAT despite at times you may feel like you are not! (II Corinthians 4:1)
#8 – “This” problem will NOT destroy you! (II Corinthians 4:8-9)
#9 – STOP comparing yourself to others…the same God who called and empowered them did the same for you! (Galatians 2:8)
#10 – STOP praying for protection…PRAY FOR BOLDNESS!!! (Acts 4:29-31)
