Don’t be a magician.
There is nothing more fulfilling in ministry than to be able to help someone else’s dream come true. We are designed to be connected to other members of the body for the purpose of supplying what’s needed to help someone else prosper.
I truly believe that you can’t be a successful child of God and be stingy, selfish or even a loner. I have a life verse that I live by and do my best to model for others. It’s found in 1John:
1John 3:17
If you see some brother or sister in need and have the means to do something about it but turn a cold shoulder and do nothing, what happens to God’s love? It disappears. And you made it disappear.
So, don’t be a magician when it comes to demonstrating the love of God. Help somebody, bless somebody, show somebody the love of God. Man, if we don’t show the world love, we don’t show the world God. God is love.
