Pitfalls to take note in ministry
1) Love for man/woman
- Dun counsel the opposite sex alone! Maintain a healthy sex life with your own spouse. In this way, u will not be tempted!
2) The Love for money
Ps 35:27
-To the degree u prosper tt's the degree God is magnified. Never once a righteous should beg for bread. Dont cheapen the ministry!
3) The love for prominence
- Leaders who are insecure yearns for attention. Never become big in your own eyes. Know who u are B4 God. Leaders are not to be being Lordship or dictatorship.
- Leadership is servanthood.
- Just like the Holy Spirit don't control u, He leads u! Learn to be humble. Humility functions in the realm of free-will. You make a decision tt you want to be a servant to all.
- Dun ask God to humble you or ask your leader to humble u! Its up to one's free will.
- Fasting is a powerful form of self-humbling. Serve as often as possible.
4)Idolising the ministry
Deut 5:7
- Dun be too busy to serve until u have no time to pray n read the bible! Dun be too busy until the only time u will pray n read the bible is the time when u prepare a sermon or u r asked to lead a prayer meeting or play for CG!
5) Insecurity
