In a quaint town nestled between rolling hills, a church stood as a beacon of hope for the faithful. Within its hallowed halls, a counseling session unfolded, led by the charismatic Pastor Daniel. His eyes, though kind, were heavy with concern as he sat across from ELIZABETH, a pastor's wife known for her elegance, yet lately, the subject of whispers among the congregation.
Pastor Daniel, his brow furrowed, began, "Elizabeth, we find ourselves at a crossroads. Your influence as a pastor's wife carries immense weight, but it seems the flock may be losing their way."
Elizabeth, dressed in opulence that rivaled royalty, raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. "Pastor, I fail to see how my attire could lead anyone astray. Fashion is an art, a form of expression, is it not?"
Pastor Daniel leaned forward, his voice resonating with urgency. "Indeed, but it's the manner of expression that concerns me. Your dressing must glorify God, not distract from His message."
The pastor recounted tales of wayward souls, lured by the allure of materialism, the glittering facade of prosperity portrayed by Elizabeth's extravagant wardrobe. He painted a vivid picture of congregants swaying towards the temporal rather than the eternal, their focus shifting from the divine to the worldly.
"Your influence extends beyond the sanctuary, Elizabeth. Your choices in attire are shaping the perceptions of our community. We are meant to be a reflection of God's light, not a mirror of earthly desires," Pastor Daniel implored.
Elizabeth, defensive, retorted, "But pastor, is it not better to show the world that Christians can be prosperous and stylish? Shouldn't we dispel the notion that devotion to God requires a lack of worldly pleasures?"
Pastor Daniel sighed, "It's not about denying ourselves joy or success, but about using those blessings to uplift rather than distract. Your dressing should draw attention to the grace of God, not to the extravagance of your wardrobe."
As the counseling continued, Elizabeth's facade crumbled, revealing the internal struggle between her desire for worldly admiration and the responsibility she bore as a shepherd's wife. Pastor Daniel, sensing her vulnerability, spoke words that echoed through the sacred space.
"Elizabeth, true beauty lies not in the shimmer of jewels or the richness of fabrics, but in a heart devoted to God. Your dressing should reflect the humility and modesty that accompany a life surrendered to His will."
Elizabeth, humbled, bowed her head. The realization of her role in steering the faithful back on course weighed heavily on her conscience. In that moment, the drama unfolded not in theatrics, but in the quiet redemption of a pastor's wife realizing the profound impact of her choices.
And so, the counseling room became a sacred arena for transformation, a place where the echoes of repentance and renewal resonated, paving the way for a community to rediscover the true essence of glorifying God in every aspect of their lives.
Time To Make A Decision
Brethren, if you are still living in SIN then
you need Jesus Christ in your life who has the power to secure your salvation
today because tomorrow may be too late. Therefore if you are ready to accept
JESUS CHRIST into your life and be saved from Hell fire (i.e. A place
originally prepared for Satan and his falling angels who are his demons work
force) then say this simple prayers with me.
"I come to you Lord Jesus. I know I am a sinner. Please forgive
me all my sins. I repent and renounce them all. I accept you today as my Lord
and my Savior. Wash me with the Blood you shed for me on the Cross of Calvary.
Write my name in the book of life and erase my name from the book of death
and I promised to serve you with the rest of my life. Thank You Lord Jesus. In
Jesus name I pray. Amen".
Join a bible believing church where they worship the Lord Jesus Christ IN TRUTH
and IN SPIRIT and their preaching focuses on SALVATION, RIGHTEOUSNESS
and HOLINESS of God because God is a spirit and he is HOLY,
therefore without Holiness no one can please God.
Please
avoid churches where
they worship materials things of this world and not focusing on how to
make you prepared and enter the Kingdom of God (e.g. "where the pastor
glorify and honor
members with big cars, big tithe payment than honoring God
Almighty")....Run away from such church, they will lead you to hell
fire.
Please read your bible everyday and maintain this new life in Christ Jesus till
death or till the second coming of Christ Jesus and it is certain that you will
be among the qualified candidate of the Kingdom of God and you will reign with
Christ Jesus at the end of time.
Thanking you for your attention.
The word of God says "I must do the work of He that sent me, whiles it is still day".
Share as you are led the spirit of God, till the last
person receives it.
God will bless you as you do this in Jesus name.
