Exercise regularly...

As Christians, especially Mrs Pastors, we must exercise regularly lest we become flabby.
Oh please don't stop reading. I'm not writing about what you think - although that one really matters too and that will be our launching pad.

Ministry made easy

I don't know about you but I have a Continuous Improvement (CI) mindset. I'm always looking for a better and hopefully easier, more efficient and effective way of doing things. The way I see it, life is already filled with stress so why add to it? Jesus even told us that each day already has enough trouble in it.* The great thing about having a CI mindset, is that you're always on the hunt for hints, tips, nuggets to make your life better. So you can only imagine my delight when I found some nuggets in the book of Numbers. I remember almost feeling "numb" each time I had to read the book of Numbers when I was a younger Christian. BTW, I'm still young.

Let's read these 3 verses together:

Beyond giving cheerfully

Like many Ministers, Mrs. Pastors included, I have quoted this verse to buttress the need for us to always give cheerfully:

You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”*  

Recently, as I was preparing for the next post on my Mrs. Pastor Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/DearMrsPastor), the word "Generous" was continuously impressed on my heart though I wanted to write on "Gracious" - which is a very important quality as we consider the "A-Z of Mrs. Pastor." I surrendered and as the Holy Spirit expounded the word using the Word, it expanded beyond a 5-sentence piece to a full fledged post - so I'll link both.

ln His Presence

One of my favourite verses is: Psalm 16:11 ~ You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore. (Amplified)

As I meditated on the verse, this song also dropped in my heart:

In the Presence of Jehovah

God Almighty, Prince of Peace

Troubles vanish, hearts are mended

In the presence of the King*
