Saturday 4th December 2021 Devotion
Scripture:- John 4:6-26
Topic:- Rev Dr. Uma Ukpai Warns Pastors Round The Globe
I was with my wife in an Aircraft, a friend came to me, and I said to him, “Can you please, create time and rest or else you die in one month time.”
He got angry, maybe I didn’t look like a Prophet to him enough, for him to listen to me. He died a month after.
We were ministering in Porrharcourt, a Pastor friend of mine was ministering and he collapsed.
They ran to me and asked me to pray for him. I said, ‘NO’, I asked them to take him to his assigned Hotel room and let him have a good sleep and rest and I would pray for him later.
He took offense and said that my anointing has made me arrogant.
He left for his home, he came out of his car, just before he entered his house, he slumped again and died.
The work of the Pastor is the toughest job under the sun.
One Pentecostal Powerful Service is equivalent to a Soldier’s Seven days of hard Labour.
People will never allow you to rest, they can call you anytime to solve their problems.
But please, create time for yourself and practice how to rest well, eat well and drink very pure water.
This God knows we still need you. There is a role that only you can play, but you can’t play that role from the grave.
I can name a good number of my friends who have died in Ministry because they overstressed themselves and were overworked.
Then I discovered that the shortest way to failure is to try to please everybody.
While saving others, save yourself also. Your family still needs you, the Church still needs you.
This may sound simple, but there are people who now know that I’m talking to them.
Prayer Point:-
May God Almighty bless and honour you and give you a good life, long life, and good health, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Have A Beautiful Saturday!
