THE HEART OF A PASTOR

SUNDAY
MI DAILY DEVOTION
(Hebrews 13:7) “Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.”
THE HEART OF A PASTOR

A pastor could be a husband, a father, a friend and sometimes an enemy to others. A pastor could also be a brother, a manager and a broken hearted man. He is a man of God who is a blessing to others. A pastor is a counselor, a man of comfort, a man that you can count on, a considerate man and a man full of courage and stand on his conviction and in the leading of the Holy Spirit. He develops leaders, and a help to the disturbed, the discouraged and the depressed. A pastor is an encourager. He should be an eloquent speaker and an executor. A pastor is a facilitator, one of the few good men, a fellow soldier, our fellowmen and a fellow servant. He is always on the "GO", and a great man of God. He should be a great communicator and a goal setter. A pastor's heart is in his home, helping the needy and praying for the healing of the sick. A pastor's attitude should not be about "I" but about God and others. He is an imitator and he should be an inspiration to others and gives proper instructions for the kingdom. It is required for a pastor to be knowledgeable, to know what is best for his church, for his people and for the honor and glory of the King of kings. A pastor's love should be on his Lord, his life must be dedicated for the lost souls and he should be in line with what God wants for him to do as God's minister. He must remember that he is a man of God and a minister of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. He carries the mark of the Lord Jesus Christ. He must be a minister with honor and humility.
