Are you in step...

...or in strife with the Ministry?

When asked how his wife feels about him being away from home for so long preaching and teaching the Word of God, Josh McDowell said his wife, Dottie, is even more committed to what he’s doing than he is. At that time the question that popped in my heart was:

“Are you in step or in strife with the Ministry?”

If you ask any woman who has struggled with being either Mrs. Pastor or a Minister's wife, you'll find out that they had peace after they surrendered "all" - including themselves & their husband - to God. Before that, their lives were in pieces.

Nothing compares to the blessings that come when we surrender all to God. Ask Father Abraham who got an extension to God's initial promise in Genesis 12: 2-3.* After he surrendered one of his most precious ones - his only son - to God, Genesis 22: 16-18 tells us "...I have sworn by Myself, says the Lord, that since you have done this and have not withheld [from Me] or begrudged [giving Me] your son, your only son, In blessing I will bless you and in multiplying I will multiply your descendants like the stars of the heavens and like the sand on the seashore. And your Seed (Heir) will possess the gate of His enemies, And in your Seed [Christ] shall all the nations of the earth be blessed and [by Him] bless themselves, because you have heard and obeyed My voice."** Can you beat that? Won't you want to be in on this? You can...

All you need to do is just get in step with the ministry and without a doubt, abundant blessings will flow in and follow you...all your life.
