Welcome to another day of Blogmas themed LOVE OF CHRIST. Like always, I say; thank you for being here and engaging.

Today, I want us to talk about the most neglected set of people in the church – the pastors. Nobody seems to care about their welfare, their families, or their health because we guess they are superheroes. But they are not, Pastors are human like us with struggles, aspirations, yearnings and desires and they are worthy to be celebrated and appreciated.

Why should I appreciate my pastor? After all, his/her salaries are being paid? You should celebrate him/her because God said so. Why? See below:

Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in the word and doctrine. For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain,” and, “The labourer is worthy of his wages.”
I Timothy 5:17‭-‬18 NKJV

Who are the elders in your congregation? The first elder is your pastor(s). Why did God commanded it? Because they laboured over us in words and doctrine. The first honour is the salary, to double the honour, a gift won’t be a bad idea.

Another Bible verse to affirm God’s Word concerning your MoG.

If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things? Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.
I Corinthians 9:11‭, ‬14 NKJV

Can you tell me how best and thoughtful to spread the love of Christ if not through gifts to our servants of God?
