PASTORS ARE HUMAN TOO!

By
I stood up to teach in our midweek service.
The first thing I asked the church to do was to go ask someone "How was your day?".
Everyone went around asking, shaking and patting each others back. Some even hugged themselves.

I smiled as I saw it all. Guess what, no one came to the pastor to ask that simple question
'How was your day?'. Yet! I was tired and it had been a really hard day.
Pastors and Medical doctors may have
something in common- people believe they are fine as long as they breathing!
You are quick to ask your pastor "Are you
praying for me?" But have you ever told him
"I am praying for you".
You know how to accuse the pastor of not visiting you but have you ever stopped by to check on him and his family?
You tell the pastor that you are going on
vacation but have you ever wondered when last he had a break?
Your pastor smiles at you telling you "It is
well with you" when at times, it is a prophecy for himself.
A pastor can officiate a wedding just after consoling a bereaved family (Can you imagine
that emotional switch- yet he must be
stable).
Your pastor is human too! Trust me, there
are sundays he did not feel like coming to
church but he still did! Some of the lovely suit covers the pains.
The year is coming to an end and I have seen pastors quit because of depression (true!).
You can put a smile on your pastors face as the year comes to an end! Buy gifts for your pastor and his family too.
I have simply told you what your Pastor
would never say!

ATMFNigeria2016 #IHungerandThirst

By
I believe God wants all of His children to come to a point where we throw up our hands, give up every other pursuit and make Him our primary pursuit. We all need to come to the point where we acknowledge that not only where we saved by grace but we will only run our race successfully by grace....making our dependence on God absolute. There is a 'God-shaped' hole in every human beings heart and no matter how hard we chase after material things and worldly positions or accolades, none of these other things will ever fill up that hole and satisfy us. It's like how we are often thirsty but mistaken that thirst for hunger and instead of drinking water and quenching that thirst, we eat.....and that thirst is still there. Only water will quench it. Likewise, only Jesus satisfies and satisfies completely. No wonder He refers to Himself as Living Water and the Bread of Life. For Him to take over - to fill us up - we must empty ourselves of stuff and especially of 'self...
