Summary: Beloved don't allow people who God has not called as judges over you to derail you or make you give on doing the Work of God. Stay committed, stay strong and deliver to the satisfaction of He who has called you.
May the peace of the Lord be with you.
Topic: *FOCUS ON YOUR WORK FOR GOD*
1 Corinthians 4:1-5 King James Version (KJV)
4 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
Beloved, nobody has called you to judge or be a watch over the stewards God has placed to take care of His things and guide His children through His mysteries and revelations and all He put in their hands.
You don't have the right to judge them. Only God can judge and judge rightly. Remember that though some Stewards may appear righteous and others may appear unrighteous, they are all not blameless before God Almighty.
Only God can tell who is blameless from who is not because He knows what is hidden in the heart and the secret mindset of His people. He alone knows what they want to do and don't want to do.
It is their Master or Employer who will either commend them or not. You have called no one and given no one job to do as a Man of God or Steward of God so please keep quiet and mind your business.
If you have any duty at all towards them, it is to pray for them that the Lord will find them faithful and trustworthy when He comes.
Beloved, if you are a Steward of God, don't allow people's judgement of you to affect your work for God. People will say a lot, some will say very very bad things even though they have no idea or understanding of what your work entails or what you go through on a daily basis.
The attacks, the challenges, the tears, the let downs, the down times, the frustrations and stress, that time when you feel like nothing is working so you want to give and just be, but, with the knowledge that God is faithful and just, God is love and His mercies endure forever and also His grace abounds, you hold on tight to Him and forge ahead.
Beloved, nobody, not even your wife or closest ally can tell what you really go through on a daily basis as a Steward of God though they may have an idea, so just focus on God Almighty and do His work for Him. Forget all the talkatives, gossips and slanderers who are just saying what they think as if it's the truth though they are in error.
Be strong in the Lord, have faith in Him and do His work diligently in Jesus name.
*IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS* and no one else. Focus on the crown that God has prepared for you and overlook all the negatives being dished out around you by people who have no idea of what you are really going through on a daily basis. God bless you and keep you Man of God.
Prayer: Daddy please empower me to do your work well whiles I focus on YOU and ignore all the negative energies that are pushing to bring me down. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
_EXHIBIT YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS AND THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY SHALL SURELY REWARD YOU_
