DAY 24 OF YOUR NEW YOUR BEGINNING
HONOUR YOUR PASTOR
"Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in the Word and doctrine," I Tim. 5:17
Most people today rate the work of pastors/elders between 5 and 7 out of 10, though opinions vary widely based on personal faith and local church experiences.
Many church and non-church people value pastors for their community support and spiritual guidance role they play in their lives.
The role of a pastor in the spiritual upbringing of their members is connected to how much time they spend prayer and labouring in the word of God. The teaching of the word of God helps guide, guard, and build the faith of our members to maturity.
The bible tells us, "Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour..." verse 17a
The emphasis is on those who labour in the word. "Count them worthy of double honour." verse 7b
Until you are called to be a pastor, you will never know what it means to be a pastor. This week, I will be sharing much about the ministry of the pastor.
Get closer to your pastor and ask them of their challenges. If they will be sincere enough to tell you some of the things they go through. Genuinely admire your pastor and appreciate them.
God richly bless you!
