MONEY MOTIVATED MINISTRY





Jesus warned believers in John 6:27 "Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him."

The motivational force of many ministers of the gospel is monetary and or material than strictly spiritual or Christ-like. It is a pity that the man of God cannot confide on God by faith to cater for his needs while on the Master’s serious duty.  

It is impossible to be fully committed to healing the broken hearted, casting out demons, cleansing the lepers and raising the dead etc for the salvation of souls with the mustard seed faith that pleases God and by the Holy Ghost that He will just ignore such devotion.

The truth is, nobody has the money or any kind of incentive that can drive God’s ordained to selfless ministry sacrifice. 

The moment someone waits for another man to pay him a salary in God’s service; it is no more God’s work. “He who pays the piper dictates the tune.” You are only imitating someone’s calling and serving the belly and never God! This is another world government in disguise!

Young ministers, I plead with you in the Name of Jesus Christ; do not fall into the trap of money motivated ministry. The Master is waiting for you to have absolute confidence in His ministry supplies from the inexhaustible heavenly store houses… “…according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

Carefully and prayerfully study Matthew 20:1-16. It is either God that motivates or money. It is either God that recruits or money that employs! Just be careful, young man!
