Appreciating their Efforts

By Deaconess Oluchi Mfon

1st Thessalonians 5:12-13— "“And we beseech you brethren to know them which labour among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake.

And be at peace among yourselves". Appreciation  builds relationship, people cannot know you  appreciate them if you do not tell them how  important they are to you.

When you compliment people it build lasting relationship and  help people know they are valued.  Remember your  leaders/ministers who first  taught you the word of God Hebrews 13:7—”Remember  them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation” Think of all the good that has come from their lives and stop finding faults.

Several ways to show them our appreciation: speak loving words, remember them in your prayers daily, supporting the ministry financially as Apostle Paul emphasized in 1 Corinthians 9:4-10. As believers when we do not treat the ministers God has given the church with honor, how can we say we honor God?

Let’s appreciate their efforts, and many including the heavens will appreciate you too. God bless you.

You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
