Death trap for ministers

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Here is a real trap for ministers ... Wanting to go more places ... more, more more ...

A minister can get into so much trouble expanding.  You begin with one radio station, then another, then another ... pretty soon the radio bills are enormous and your ego just wants more and more ... and unless God frees you it can pull you under.  (Television is even worse.)

But I see this same trap with those who want so badly to cover all the villages in their area.  Some even go into great physical danger to do this.  (They better really establish that what they are doing is what God has told them and not just their own idea.)

Financially all this can be a death trap.  And when the minister gets more than he can cover financially and is faced with paying for all those works, he often resorts to fleshly means to pay his bills ... putting pressure on people to give to him.

Instead, when you keep yourself under control and do what you can without pushing beyond that which is of God, then the need is provided by God.  And when the work is of God the provision will be from God.  There is such a difference between provision from God and provision by the flesh.

(See 6-5-12 ... "When God pays for the work ...)

God, by HIS Spirit, will reach all HE chooses.  No one will be left out.  God reached the apostle Paul without any human speaking to Paul.  God will reach all HE chooses.
