A PASTOR SHOULD NOT SPEND THEIR TIME....
* begging members to come to church.
* praising members after they come.
* dealing with frivolous complants and moody memebrs.
* tending to hurt feelings by other members.
* stopping scrabbles and drama.
* begging folks to worship.
* pushing church attendance
* begging for participation in functions.
* begging for helpers & leaders
* doing all the work.
* feeling inadequate, insufficient.
* feeling discouraged, hurt, betrayed.
* feeling lonely. deserted, forsaken
* chasing members.
The pastor needs to be able to devote their time to..... fasting and praying over the church, its members and family. Leading by example and being a spiritual rock for the flock.
Praying for wisdom, direction, and guidance for the church. Fighting spiritual warfare over the church.
Spending time studying the word, hearing the voice of God, and preparing the message for their church.
Handling church business, needs and future events. Caring for the sick and visitation. To lead, guide, protect, love, and serve the flock. ECT !!
Encourage them, Lift them up, Support them, Love them, and PRAY for them. Being faithful to come, give, and work.
