THE HEART OF A PASTOR

MONDAY
MI DAILY DEVOTION
(Hebrews 13:17- 18) 17- “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. 18- Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.”
THE HEART OF A PASTOR
(A Minister’s Life from A to Z)

A pastor is always neutral in his dealings with his people. He should not think or say; "It could never be done" neither be a man with negative aspects in life. He is willing to offer his best for the master's use and he is a man who is open to new ideas. A man of God who perseveres..., he keeps on pressing on, a man who desires to please his Lord. He is a servant of God who never questions the Word of God, the will of God and the works of God. A man of God who always quotes the Word of God in all that he does. He learned to be quite. He resists the devil and that which is evil. He help restores those who have fallen in God’s grace. He has a heart for revival, for regeneration of the lost world. He shows compassion, he depend on the Lord his God in everything. His success is because of what God did in him and through him. He trust the Lord, teaches the truth, he is truthful and faithful to God. He is not afraid to take the step of faith as the team leader. Unity is his passion and desire. He gives his undivided attention for the sake of Christ. He uses his talents, treasures and time for the Lord. Victory is on his side. He is a visionary and he values life, his family and spiritual things. Winning for God and working for God is his focus. Worldly pleasure is not on his list and he is willing to wait on God's time. Wine, womanizing, worldly wealth and wickedness are out of his line.
