TOPIC : DO YOU BEAR YOUR PASTOR'S BURDEN ?
TEXT : EXODUS 17:8, 11-12
Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun
There was war between Israel and the Amalekites.
Joshua was the commander of the Lord's army.
Beloved, Moses the servant of the Lord was on the top of a mountain with Aaron and Hur.
Ss long as his hands were lifted up, the army of Israel had the lead.
Whenever his hands were down because of fatigue and weariness, the Amalekites begin to win.
To ensure victory, Aaron and Hur had to put stones as support for Moses's hand and also held up his hands until their enemies were defeated.
Do you know that your pastor can be discouraged sometimes?
Do you know that there are times when he is so traumatized that he feels like giving up.
When you watch your pastor fight in his weary and tired state, how do you respond?
Do you gather a team of other rebels to help you gossip about his weak state?
Never forget that his weakness is the result of his many battles to ensure that your not devoured.
Those scars you see lacerating his body are wounds inflicted on him in his many attempts to shield 🛡️ you from beasts.
Some give up their comfort for you to be comfortable.
Church members, comfort your pastors,
They are paying high prices for loving you.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled week in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
