For the Man of God after Today's Service

[My Offline Bible] Matthew 23
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

[My Offline Bible] Luke 15
10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

[My Offline Bible] Matthew 18
19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Church services have ended in most places, pastors, Church leaders and administrators are going through the data collected to rate the services and to plan for the next meetings...

Some don't need any data... They didn't have more that two or three upon all the efforts put in and they are feeling miserable wondering if they were called, wondering if God was in the service at all... Many of these have had to give out the offerings for welfare, and how much is even the offerings? With head bowed like Elijah under the juniper tree some are thinking of quitting, others are psyching themselves in faith, some are wondering if they had not missed their flight of destiny...

Discouragement is rife...in that job and many don't even appreciate it...

But is that discouragement justified?

If Jesus Christ would be comfortably present where two or three are gathered in His name worshipping in truth and in spirit what is it that makes such uncomfortable to us? If He who owns the system would be comfortable with a sinner's repentance why are we who are just helping hands be uncomfortable?

If the angels in heaven are rejoicing over the person who makes a turnaround because of your message today and God Himself is excited about it, why is it that it's you that's feeling bad?

Maybe it is not Him you want to please but the society or yourself...

Maybe you want to have an achievement different from that of Christ...

So long you aren't making those few people twice the children of hell but you are helping their faith in God and inspiring the renewing of their hearts towards life transformation,  God is excited and heaven is rejoicing and God's reward for what you have done is on the way...

Most importantly rejoice that the work you have done hasn't removed or blotted out your name from the book of life...

It is when you gather people and what you do is not helping people towards heaven rather making them twice the children of hell that you really need to worry...if you are rejoicing over that, you need to know also that heaven isn't rejoicing...you need help!

But if you are in obedience and you have gathered your two or three in His name, and not in the name of self aggrandizement and self seeking, know that Christ was there and your prayer is heard...

And WHEN you become hundreds or thousands don't be carried away into making people children of hell...

Keep gathering together in His name, ensuring that you maintain being the temple of Christ and His Spirit, and not a tent of wickedness...and not be carried away by the statistics!

Remain blessed, more strength man of God...
