MINISTRY is TEAMWORK; But GOD’S PAYCHECK is INDIVIDUAL
There’s so many concepts of spiritual authority that have been mistaught… it’s hard to even keep track of them all.
– This isn’t a multi level MARKETING scheme. There’s no downlines to get paid off of.
– This isn’t a concert PROMOTION business that needs ticket sales to be successful.
– Ministry is not a SHOW for audiences that needs good ratings or views or subscribers to survive.
Kingdom Ministry is for those that teach, obey, and carry out God’s Will, God’s Word, and God’s Way.
The Most High hands out heavenly rewards to EVERY INDIVIDUAL according to their WORK – not their influence, not their ratings, nor their popularity or notoriety.
Spiritual Leaders get rewarded for their faithfulness in what THEY do, not what followers do!
Jesus didn’t get punished when Judas betrayed Him – the only person that lost anything was Judas!
Jesus still received His FULL REWARD for His Obedience and Faithfulness until death.
Spiritual Leaders, Elders & Overseers get rewarded for THEIR obedience and punished for THEIR disobedience.
Followers get the EXACT SAME REWARD as Leaders according to the WORK they put into the ministry.
Audiences don’t get paid. Workers do! God can speak thru a donkey if He wants to, and you can follow the donkeys YouTube channel.
But God doesn’t reward you for following anyone on any media channel. Only real life Followers, Volunteers, and Financial Supporters get eternal rewards.
But God also doesn’t give extra royalties to the leaders name! It’s the WORK that matters, not the brand name!
Those that are called to be Saints and Followers of leadership get rewarded for what THEY do, and suffer loss for what THEY don’t do.
Just because Spiritual Leaders care for you AS IF they gave account for you – doesn’t mean they actually have to account for you before God.
When Leaders stand before God, they only give account to God for themselves!
Let’s Reread the Scriptures to the Believing Hebrews and Get Clarity:
Hebrews 13:7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have SPOKEN UNTO YOU THE WORD OF GOD: whose faith FOLLOW, considering the end of their conversation [lifestyle]…
– An Overseers Job is to speak the Word of God, and Live an Example. Not to lord over & be bossy, but to persuade saints in obedience to God and lead by example.
– If they do it faithfully, they get rewards.
– If they don’t obey the truth they teach, they become a cast away.
– If they teach a mixture of lies with truth, they LOSE a large part of their reward.
Hebrews 13:17 OBEY them that have the rule over you, and SUBMIT YOURSELVES: for they watch for your souls, AS they that must give account, that they may do it [watch for your soul] with joy, and not with grief: for that is UNPROFITABLE FOR YOU [the follower].
– A Saints Job is to obey (be persuaded) by the Word of God, and submit (come under the mission, carry out the purpose) of the leadership they follow and Assemble with, so that they reap the HEAVENLY rewards of the mission.
– If they do it, they get rewarded.
– If they don’t, they lose kingdom profit.
Refusing to submit and listen to spiritual leadership only hurts the saint – not the leader.
The leader already did their job. It’s UNPROFITABLE for THE SAINT to refuse to listen to spiritual leadership.
YOU GET REWARDED IN YOUR OWN ROLE
A leader lords over their family, not over God’s flock! They teach and persuade God’s flock, and lead by example.
If a leader is a hypocrite, THEY lose their reward, not the saint!
Unless the saint chooses to SUPPORT the leaders sin. Anyone who willfully supports error and mixture becomes a part of it.
The leader doesn’t lose anything when saints choose not to follow their example.
God still rewards faithful leaders. A leader cares for the saints, but is only truly accountable for themselves and their family.
If a saint chooses to follow the devil, a media hypocrite, or an entertainer or false teacher instead of an example of real life obedience – THEY lose profit, not the leader!
Unless the leader refuses to CORRECT the saints’ sin. If leadership turns a blind eye to sin in the flock without giving correction, they become a part of it.
In the Kingdom of God, anyone who lives right and and does their part WILL GET REWARDED!
You will be rewarded for playing YOUR OWN ROLE in God’s Assembly!
Yes ministry is TEAMWORK; but the PAYCHECK is Individual!
More Scriptural Proof:
1 Corinthians 3:8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are ONE: and every man shall receive HIS OWN reward according to HIS OWN labour.
Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to HIS WORKS.
Galatians 6:4 But let every man prove HIS OWN work, and then shall he have rejoicing in HIMSELF ALONE, and not in another.
5 For every man shall bear HIS OWN burden.
Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man ACCORDING AS HIS WORK shall be.
1 Corinthians 3:14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, HE shall receive a reward.
Be Faithful to Your OWN ROLE on God’s Kingdom team – the ECCLESIA aka CONGREGATION of King Yashuah!
Find the RIGHT TEAM, doing the RIGHT WORK, the RIGHT WAY (God’s Way not the World’s way), and DO YOUR PART!
If you do, You will be CONTENT, SATISFIED, and well REWARDED!
