Yesterday my church celebrated our Apostle’s birthday. We had special presentations and a delicious dinner after service. It was wonderful to hear everyone’s testimony about how much they appreciated the leadership, love, and support our Apostle has for our congregation.
It got me thinking. Sadly, a lot of people have given up on going to or belonging to a church because they don’t have faith in the leaders. Many men and women have mistreated numerous Christians while holding the office of a pastor.
But praise God for the ones who are doing the right thing! I’ve received so much instruction, wisdom, encouragement, and love because of men and women who walk worthy of their calling. Their words have brought inspiration, innovation, and have quickened my faith.
I hope you can say the same thing about your leaders. If so, be sure to cover them in prayer and give God thanks for blessing your life. Take a moment and give them an encouraging call, email, or text. If your spiritual life lacks a genuine man or woman of God, ask God to show you where to go. You need to have a good Shepherd to lead you as you go through life. Trust me, there are still people of integrity out there!
Verse of the Day: And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. Jeremiah 3:15
I just wanted to comment that My Pastor, Arch Bishop Alfred A. Owens is one such Pastor. He leads with Wisdom and Integrity. Thanks for the Post Tiara. You've encouraged me to send him an email letting him know how much of a blessing he's been to me and my family.
