Take care of your Pastors

New Dawn Daily Devotional with Apostle Joel
*[[1Co 9:11]] ISV* If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap material benefits from you?God's children should learn from the Word of God to take care of those who plant spiritual seeds into their lives with material benefits.

Start to take your responsibility to take care of those who feed you with the Word of God, this will help reduce the gimmicks which some men and women of God do to raise finances for their needs.
1 Corinthians 9:14 Philips translation says, "On the same principle the Lord has ordered that those who proclaim the gospel should receive their livelihood from those who accept the gospel" . Our Lord Jesus Christ has commanded that ministers of the Gospel should live through the teaching of the Word of God.
Galatians 6:6 reinforces the same truth: "Let him who receives instruction in the Word [of God] share all good things with his teacher [contributing to his support]" (Amplified).
The Phillips translation of this verse says, "The man under Christian instruction should be willing to contribute toward the livelihood of his teacher."
First Timothy 5:17 in The Living Bible says, "Pastors who do their work well should be paid well and should be highly appreciated, especially those who work hard at both preaching and teaching."
The Williams translation says, "Elders who do their duties well should be considered as deserving twice the salary they get, especially those who keep on toiling in preaching and teaching."
So the Word of God makes it clear that ministers of the Gospel should be well supported by those they minister to.
Make up your mind to start appreciating those who minister your spiritual needs.This could be the key to your miracle you have been seeking.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, Today i make up my mind to advance the Kingdom of God by taking care of God's ministers needs. God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is counting on me and I will not let him down. I now know my responsibility in the kingdom of Heaven in Jesus name. Amen
