Food, a God given gift. They say, if a bite belongs to your mouth, no one has the power to dare take it from your stomach. Make make our choices, but there’s God’s providence in everything. God gives you according to your goals in life. So every niche, is a God given job. You were meant for things that you do with love and pride.
And so preaching, is also a God given job. Giving people the message of church, the message of peace, freedom of faith, and brotherhood. So will you be like those clergies, as God have set examples around us, who due to the divide of opinion in faith, ended up divided the people of their faith?
To be a priest is to be uniting one
You are christians. Dividing people of God over things that do not matter, by doing this you are committing a sin. As priests, pastors, and preachers, your job is to united the people of church and the people of cross. Let the resentment of ideas and egos not divided you as the followers of Christ.
For ages, there have been discords. Invention of things and beliefs in the name of God. You do awe the heavens gratitude for being born in a christian house. For God this house made blessings and a way of guidance to people of church and other faiths.
That turmoil that worshippers cause moves down the chain and faith followers become weak in their faith. They began to believe faith is responsible for people’s state of mind and take your mistakes for the mistakes of faith. So when you represent faith, represent with unity.
To be a priest is to be honest
Do not be afraid of confessions of accepting your sins. Your power of acceptance to crimes that you commit or allowed only strengthens your believe in God. That you are not afraid of the world as much as you are afraid of God. It implies that you know your higher and later reality.
As priests, don’t put the believers in disdain. Speak the truth. Pray that the truth may be with us all. It is the power of truth that created us and made us who we are as followers of Christ. Afraidness of world’s judgement makes us weak in the eyes of God. And it is God’s judgement that we must be afraid of.
Church is reforming, all the good priests are its reformers, spreading the light of truth in the light of facts, in the light of modern era. Until the angels break the laws of science and take over the world, we are all answerable to our concrete realities.
Truth that the word of God is an honest one. Does not deal in the filth that we cause upon ourselves and wear as proud sins. Best of the people of God, are those who are good at making amends and correcting themselves for better. Improving themselves and life of those around them.
To be a priest is to be able to relate
As priests you are gifted that you can do that openly in the churches. You don’t know the awe of those who are christians down to bottom of their heart and are forced to remain invisible to the society because our faith is stranger to them.
Whether the doctors, or soldiers, or teachers, or every other walk of life that’s related to well being of society count on the faith that you show. If you will show afraidness from truth, weakness of hiding things, their faith will perish, and with it their power to believe that life was created for good.
People’s faith drains because they look up to other people, then where do they look the most to find the best picture of their faith. All the Christians look up to priests and good Christans who are heavily invested in the affairs of faith. Their life’s present a model to them, who live and breathe faith.
To be a priest is to be dutiful
If life exists it is because God is doing his job, so why can’t we do ours and in good fashion, as people of church. Find your faith every day, and renew it from spirit of God, that is the holy spirit. Have you lost your faith as christians. Do you not know God made you one faith as a sign to show others faith his miracles.
May God have mercy on you but first have mercy on yourselves. Some of us have less choices in life than the others and as priests in profession, you shouldn’t be more thankful. Seems like least, but it is also a graceful job if you do it with grace.
Be people of one faith that’s meant for you. Come together and find resolves for your divides. May God give you all the power to united and embrace each other as christian brothers and sisters. And may God guide the special class of gender, give them a welcoming corner in every faith.
Be men of faith, what you have to do, what you must say, will come crawling towards you. Gracious. God bless.
