January 26, 2020 DCLM Daily Manna Devotional :- WHY YOUR MINISTERS MATTER

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

DAILY MANNA
SUNDAY, JANUARY 26, 2020
TOPIC: WHY YOUR MINISTERS MATTER
TEXT: 2 Corinthians 7:1-7

KEY VERSE:
“And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.” – (2 Corinthians 7:7)
One desire of the minister of the gospel is to fulfill God’s expectation, and be a glory to Him. But equally important is their usually unspoken desire to be loved and appreciated by believers under their care. Often, this point is lost on Christians. They expect the utmost care from their pastors at all times, but in the process, become blind to the needs of the servants of God, who then go about life seemingly unloved and lonely, even though they are in the midst of a large congregation.
The Apostle Paul, in our text, pleaded with the believers in Corinth to show more concern, understanding and care for him and his fellow ministers. He reminded them of the centrality of cleansing from sin, holiness of life and fear of God. They too, as ministers of God, should be accepted and treated with due consideration. He assured the believers that they were very dear to him and that he never sought to condemn them, even when he rebuked them. In fact, he boasted of them, and was comforted every time he thought about them or heard about their affairs. He told them he was particularly encouraged and comforted when he heard from Titus about “your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.”
Ministers of God, pastors of our churches, leaders in our fellowship all deserve our affection. We should care and love them; we should constantly show that we appreciate all their labours over us. We should respect and honour them, and follow the godly precepts they teach and show through their exemplary living. We should pray for them always. These will serve as tonic for them to serve God more and attend to our spiritual needs better.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “Remember them which have the rule over you…”
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Exodus 33-36
