Desire And Possess Sarah’s Christian Qualities
Thursday 4th June
Text: 1 Timothy 3:1-4
Key Verse: “Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him”. Isaiah 51:2
The standard of Divine call was manifested in the life and ministry of Abraham. Abraham was called the ‘father of faith.’ The Lord was going to bring out the gospel that will save the world through Abraham. Today, we are called the children of Abraham, and the women, the daughters of Sarah. This is the standard Christian ministry. How God wants it to go-the man and the woman. Those that entered into ministry do so without this complete formation. The wife of a preacher must play her role; but this is hardly happening. Can you see the relationship between marriage and the Christian ministry? Desire is not enough; you must qualify for it. If a man desires the office of a bishop, there are qualifications for it. Woman, your husband can be a preacher by your contribution and support. Abraham could not have gone to the Promised Land if Sarah did not follow him. Then, all the Lord has done through Abraham would have not been possible because Sarah would have frustrated it. If Sarah did not have spirit of the gospel, and the spirit of submission, the Christian faith that came through Abraham would have been frustrated. That is why God today calls women, “The daughters of Sarah.” “Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughter ye are” (1Peter 3:6a).” Many are into ministry, and their wives are not cooperating, and the Bible tells us, for ministry to be effective, the family of the preacher must play their role. Some husbands have dropped out of ministry or ran away from home because of their wives. Some are in second marriages, and their righteousness has greatly declined. A tough and uncooperating wife will hinder the work and frustrate the efforts of the pastor in the ministry. The pastor is not doing well because of his nagging and satanic wife who will not cooperate with him to move the ministry forward. By so doing, she becomes the doorway for Satan to occupy the church.
Thought For The Day: A man’s Divine call to ministry includes his wife
Song For The Day: Trust and obey, there is no other way…
Bible Reading For The Day: Job 35-38
