Over my years in Christian media and as a Pastor I have seen so many people get all fired up for JESUS and then when they experience difficulty they collapse and leave the Church…or ministries that start and then close up quickly…..or just sort of exist. This is a problem when folks are not listening to God. When we are close to God, we hear Him. Not in audio, but you hear Him, I hear Him everyday as I get up to serve, without talking and hearing from God I would be lost, I have no idea where I would be! My heartbreaks when I see someone start something and then faces tough times and then quits. YOU HAVE TO BE SURE GOD IS CALLING YOU INTO MINISTRY! THEN YOU HAVE TO BE CONSISTENT IN YOUR MESSAGES AND NOT GO OFF ON RABBITT TRAILS! I have found that when I do not listen to GOD I fail! Make sure in all you do and say it is what God what’s you to say and do. Inconsistency is not a good testimony to the world.
God just gave me this example….Its like when some radio stations change their format every now and then….no consistency. I see it all the time. It messes up the listeners. How often do you change the format of your life? For the better or worse?
Do you consistently show the world JESUS??? Who do people see when they look at you?
