FIVE THINGS YOU MUST EXPERIENCE AS A PASTOR :
1 WITHDRAWAL OF FOLLOWERS
You must understand that you don't have all the members as permanent members, you see those people shouting hallelujah, amen? Some of them are not permanent and they can leave you without thinking twice, so build around God and forget followers.
2. BETRAYAL FROM FRIENDS
Don't trust anyone who claims friendship with you, even trusting yourself is DANGEROUS,
Do not talk of others, Don't think everyone is loving, caring, and reliable like you.
Those people you are parading as friends can shock you without looking back.
Build around God and forget friends

3. REJECTION FROM YOUR SENIORS
If you have never experienced rejection from those ahead in ministry, then you are a learner.
Not that they are evil or don't love you, it's just that you are not in their class and you don't belong in their groups. So thinking they will just incorporate you easily, then you are a joker. Seniors in ministry can relate well with you when they see something they can collect or that will benefit them no matter how little it is... your gift will make room for you before the great! Build capacity, build your personality, and develop your ministry, soon they will seek you!
4. SILENCE FROM HEAVEN
This one is very common, it's not that you committed any sin, God has his reasons for this, even in the Bible, there were silence periods. Between Malachi and Matthew, there is an empty space, that is what divides Old Testament from New Testament, "IT'S CALLED SILENT PERIODS " It was 430 years without a word from God. If you are a Pastor and you have never gone through these silent periods, then your calling is questionable. Yes, you have prayed, fasted, sacrificed, done everything recommended by the Bible, spiritual fathers and mothers, mentors and seniors, and even friends in Ministry, yet no result and God is not speaking. He is in using you to speak to people but he is silent in your matter, it's called SILENT PERIOD, very stressful because you are confused about everything.
5. ATTACKS FROM SATAN
Satan only attacks what threatens him and his operations, if your Ministry is not a threat to him, then he has no business attacking you. Oppositions only come to those in positions, only the tree with ripe fruits attracts stone, only a player with a ball receives attacks, if you are experiencing any form of attack on your life and Ministry, then welcome to the real life of a Pastor.
If Satan does not attack you directly, he uses people, especially those close to you. Expect this always because it's part of the package. He may come with issues through scarcity or anything capable of pulling you down etc.
NOTE: NO PASTOR IS FREE FROM BATTLES, THE HIGHER YOU GO, THE TOUGHER IT BECOMES. ENCOURAGE YOURSELF AND MOVE ON MY FELLOW SOLDIERS IN CHRIST BECAUSE REWARD AWAITS !!
Have a wonderful and blessed day. Amen.
Receive Jesus Christ today and go to church for spiritual fellowship
