A GIFT FROM GOD

Hello beloved, today I will like bring everyone's attention to one gift that often times seems to be abused, and neglected. A gift that often times is taken for granted off, and sometimes we ourselves hurt that gift that God had given to us.Psalms 68:18, Ephesians 4:8-16

Psalms 68:18 “Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.”

Our opening verse reveals that when Jesus ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and received gifts for the Church, even for the rebellious also, that the presence of the Lord God might permeate every part of the Church. Ephesians 4:8 tells us that Jesus gave the gifts that He had received to the Church. These gifts are ministry gifts: Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. 

Beloved, your Pastor is a gift from God to you. This means that your Pastor is a gift to you from the Lord Jesus Himself; therefore you ought to receive and celebrate him. That’s what we do with gifts; we receive and celebrate them.

Every gift carries a specific grace and it is only when you receive it that you can partake of the grace therein. Until you receive your pastor as a gift from the Lord to you and you begin to celebrate him, you cannot make the most of God’s grace on him. You’d better begin enjoying your Pastor’s ministry right now because your prosperity is in his mouth. 

The Word tells us in Ephesians 4:7 “But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.” There is grace in your Pastor, not for him, but for you. Your Pastor carries grace for your edification, increase, multiplication and exaltation; and as you receive the ministry of your Pastor, you will partake of the grace that he carries for your prosperity.Beloved, don’t relate with your Pastor according to the flesh. We do not know any man after the flesh in Christ. You must begin to see him as a gift from the Lord Jesus Christ to you; for your edification, comfort, and exhortation. 

Don’t short change yourself in any way and by any means. Receive your inheritance by the ministry of the Word through your Pastor’s mouth. Receive the ministry of your Pastor in the light of him being a gift to you from the Lord. Celebrate your Pastor! Receive him as God’s sent one to you, for your prosperity and lifting. Hallelujah! Amen!
