Motivating our Ministers

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale
RCCG Dominion Mercy Seat

An attitude of gratitude enables us to see and acknowledge the fact that we are blessed. An attitude of gratitude will drive us to action. See the account of the 10 lepers in Luke 17:11-19. Verses 15-16 showed worship, thanks, appreciation by just one out of ten, which motivated Jesus to do more, reach deeper in His  bounty of good gifts, to not only  cleanse the one leper but also  make him whole.

Believe  it or not, appreciation is one of  the most powerful forces on earth.  Nobody can resist the power of  appreciation; not even God. Noah in Genesis 8:20-22 offered  to God after the  flood, “…

And the  Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart…” No matter who you are or what you do, cultivate the habit of celebrating people and making them feel appreciated every time they are with you. Always celebrate your boss, your employees, your pastor, your congregation, your clients, your spouse, your children and your friends.

Nobody loves to be merely tolerated. Everybody loves to be celebrated. Irrespective of status, treat everybody like a king.  Listen to this quote by William Arthur: “Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, motivate me, appreciate me, and I will NEVER forget you” That’s why this month, we appreciate our Ministers.

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

Facing Your Giants

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale

1st Samuel 17: 10-11 – “And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together. When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid” Every man faces Goliath. He taunts, He deceives, He attacks and His mission is to defeat us.

Whatever Goliath you may be facing, His purpose is to destroy your life. As God raises you up and elevates you, there are going to be challenges. One of those challenges is a Goliath challenge. For some of us, Goliath may not be a physical giant, could be a sickness, disability…anything that threat-ens to stop you from becoming who God wants you to be. For some it’s a habit, or a human being at your job stopping you from making progress.

We can’t avoid Goliath; he is necessary to our growth as Christians. Your Goliath may be an addiction, habit, attitude, a job layoff, financial problems, marital problems, illness. Goliath for you maybe bitterness, unsettled matter, problem from the past, difficult moral decision, sexual immorality, alcoholism, unforgiveness etc. You think if you try to quit that habit or fight that problem, your life will change too much; you’re afraid you stand to lose too much if you try to defeat our Goliath,

Immediately David was anointed king, he was thrown into a massive life challenge. The anointing on your life will attract significantly great challenge. Whenever God calls you & anoints you, He exposes you to a challenge. Are you ready?

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