It’s always good to be in the place where God wants you to be. Remain a servant and you will reap the harvest. After all, God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love for His name’s sake. Let’s not grow weary in well-doing. You will reap the seeds you have sown into the ministry if you faint not—if you don’t give up, if you don’t quit, and if you don’t cave in.

A lifestyle of servanthood is the platform to fulfilling destiny, yet people tend to look at serving from a very different perspective. Many times, we see people who serve and look down on them, assuming they have no other skills or abilities.

The purpose of God does not change. You are graced to be whoever God called you to be, and do whatever God called you to do. “But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee…

As part of this thing called life, many of us experienced crises connected to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Don’t get discouraged or dismayed because God is still who He says He is. He’s going to do (and has done) what He said He was going to do. As believers…

Someone recently asked me, “How do you balance family and ministry? How do you make that all work…

The world defines the nature of leadership as “the ability to influence people toward the attainment of goals.” Leadership 101 tells us that every good leader needs a strategic plan, measurable goals and objectives,…

Ministers and leaders experience issues like divorce, kids being in rebellion, and grieving the loss of loved ones just like anyone else—it’s called life. But they experience these things on a well-lit stage in the midst of being leaders to others. Who do they go to in order to deal with their issues?

Trying to navigate through the nuances of the COVID-19 pandemic has left many in a state of depression and suicide ideation and surprisingly Christians are counted in the number. However, prior to the pandemic, there had been a rising number of clergy, (pastors included), who were taking their lives fueled by depression. This unnerving trend is the focus of this article.
