A small fish in a big pond...

...or a small fish in a big pond?

I know we have been called to dominate...it's part of our 5-fold mission from God:

“Be fruitful and multiply;

 fill the earth and subdue it;

have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” (Genesis 1:28 - NKJV)

It's sad to note that though we're called to dominate things, a lot of us are going around trying to dominate people - sometimes using manipulation and emotional blackmail to get others to do what we want them to.

Overtime, I've come to notice (very sadly) that more and more people, including Mr. & Mrs. Pastor, want to be seen, heard, obeyed and "worshipped" - it's all a big SHOW as if we're big fish in a small pond.

I'm not saying you are not important all I ask is that you remember that our brother Paul, who wrote more than half of the New Testament, said:

"For by the grace (unmerited favor of God) given to me I warn everyone among you not to estimate and think of himself more highly than he ought [not to have an exaggerated opinion of his own importance], but to rate his ability with sober judgment, each according to the degree of faith apportioned by God to him." (Romans 12:3 - Amplified)

Without a doubt, you hold an important and privileged position as Mrs. Pastor but that will never make you "God" to the people He has placed in you and your husband's care. You are an "Oracle of God" but not God. Please take the time to continually check your motives - so you are using things and loving people not loving things and using people. We're all small fish in God's big pond, irrespective of how mega our churches may be...

...please don't ever forget that!
