Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that
a large crowd was coming to Him, said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so
that these may eat?” John 6:5, (NASB)
Pastors,
what thoughts come to your mind when you see people coming to the church in
droves?
Is
it: How do we feed them or how do we fleece them?
Is
it how do we meet their needs or how do we melt their pockets?
Your
answers to these questions determine your actions to the people.
Every
pastor needs to meet the people asking how do I help this people today, how can
I be a greater blessing to them, how do I leave them better than they have
come.
The
questions you ask determine the answers you receive.
If
you are asking how to fleece them, a thousand ideas will come to your mind
which you will interpret as revelations from God.
Most
of what we call revelations from God are responses from our subconscious mind,
as a result of what we have programmed in our minds or what we have seen other
men of God do.
Why
do we have a habit of always taking from the people these days whereas Jesus
was always giving to them? From whom have we learnt our pattern for ministry?
Are
you a hireling or a shepherd?
