It is one calling that takes your spiritual,<br> mental and physical input! Many pastors are actually stressed out,<br> overworked and depressed.\n\nWant to know how to help your Pastor and also help your growth in Christ?\n\n##### *1 . Show Up!*\n\nYou have no idea what your continuous attendance at your local Church does for your Assembly. The truth is that people join a Church based on the kind of community it is. They join because of the fellowship of brethren and the love there in. \n\nEnsuring you never miss a service ensures that the assembly has the pleasure and blessing of your fellowship. Growing Churches grow easier than non - growing Churches. Your absence at your local Church meeting does more harm than you can ever imagine.\n\n##### *2. Pay attention to the Word.*\n\nA Church filled with babies cannot significantly advance God's plan on the earth. This is why you must desire to grow and take steps to do so. You need to devour the teachings of your ministry gift and grow by them. Feed on the scriptures and be able to explain them and apply them.\n\n##### *3. Do not miss Prayer meetings.*\n\nThe flame of revival is fanned by the intensity of prayers. The real members of a Church are the praying members. A Church that will remain ablaze for Christ must have between 80-100% of her members praying together at least once a week for between 1-2 hrs per time. \n\nCooperate Prayer meetings enables the Lord unify the vision in the local Church. Praying together causes everyone to see the same thing and move in the same direction. Make up your mind to attend your next Prayer meeting.\n\n##### *4. Join a Department\/ Unit\/Group.*\n\nEndeavour you play your role in ensuring every service day is a success. Christianity is about service. You give yourself to serving another. Jesus emphasized washing the feet of the saints to exemplify humble service between believers. So don't just be content to seat in Church week in week out! Join a department and be dedicated there!\n\n##### *5. Pray for your Pastor.* \n\nYour Pastor is a marked man. He is going to be attacked by the devil because the scripture says \"strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter\". A lot of ministers are carrying purifying wounds in their souls due to heartbreaks and unmet expectations. \n\nSo pray for your Pastor passionately! Pray for help,<br> pray for light,<br> pray for direction and pray for opportunities for him! You know he is praying for you.\n\n***to be continued***\n\n**Still me @oredebby**",<br>"json_metadata":" \"community\":\"busy\",<br>\"app\":\"busy\/2.5.6\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\",<br>\"tags\":[\"busy\",<br>\"sc-n\",<br>\"stach\",<br>\"wafrica\",<br>\"bigwaves\" ,<br>\"users\":[\"oredebby\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=pastor+preaching&client=ms-android-transsion&prmd=ivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj47ej42Y7hAhXBVt8KHQCvD68Q_AUoAXoECA0QAQ&biw=360&bih=560#imgrc=2Ftl8fStXVkVXM\",<br>\"\/@oredebby\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/cdn.steemitimages.com\/DQmb2UHYCyLnRXJjAwXT4FsTJDaACY8xXp7y14ZetQuA5Gh\/images%20(1).jpeg\" " | | comment_options | "author":"oredebby",
