IMPART YOUR LIFE TO OTHERS

"So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impact to you not only the gospel of God, buy also our own lives, because you have become dear to us."
1 Thessalonians 2:8 (NKJV)

• Leaders in ministry should impact their lives to the people they are ministering to—it is an important aspect of ministry work.
- Minister to their needs and be identified with them in their problems (Acts 20:28).
- If you stand with them to solve their problems; they would stand with you in fulfilling your vision.
- The people you care for would not mind to sacrifice what they have in order to partner with you in the assignment—people respond to love without hypocrisy (Luke 8:1-3; Acts 28:8-10).
~ Although in exceptional cases, if you are ministering to a wrong set of people, people you are not sent to—they may not be supportive (Acts 22:17-21).
~ Also, if you are not at the right place that God wants you to be—the people there may not give their full support.
~ You attract wrong people if you are not at right place that God has assigned you.

• The Galatians showered love on Paul because they saw the sincerity and genuineness of his care and love for them.
- Paul said, if it were possible, they would have plucked their eyes and given them to him. In other words, they could give anything to Paul.
13. "You know that because of physical infirmity I preached the gospel to you at the first.
14. And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise or reject, but you received me as an angel [messenger] of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15. What then was the blessing you enjoyed? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have PLUCKED OUT your EYES and given them to me."
Galatians 4:13-15 (NKJV)

• People respond to care, even animals do!

• You will not fail in Jesus' name.
Peace!
