Acts 20 vs 33-34

³³I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.

³⁴Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

This verse tells us that even as a minister of God, you must engage in productive work.
As a disciple of God, you must not be idle or become a burden to others.
There is a lot of idleness in the ministry. Many ministers of God use ministry to cover up their idleness.
Apostle Paul was one of the greatest Apostles, yet he didn’t make himself a burden. He works, he was a tent maker.
If your ministry is not big enough to meet your necessity, you should do secular jobs to meet your necessity and not become a burden to your members.
I have been in the ministry for the past 21 years, been active in the ministry for 15 years, yet I have a secular job that meets my necessity and that of my family.
As a minister of God, you should follow the model of Apostle Paul.
May God give you the wisdom to live a productive life in Jesus’ name. Amen.

An Inspired Challenge for Wives This Father's Day - Today Can Be Different
Consider asking your husband how you can pray for him each day. (If the father of your children doesn’t live with you, for whatever reason, remember to put him on your prayer list too.) Your husband wants nothing more than to succeed, but he probably struggles with issues he’s afraid to admit, even to himself. He may feel insecure about being a dad, especially if he didn’t have the benefit of a good role model. Or maybe he feels more like an understudy because he’s “only” a stepdad.
