The Motive Behind The Ministry.

This is just my observation but people go into ministry for the wrong motives. Some are self seeking, others call themselves doing ministry for God, but actually it is for themselves. Some think it is glamours and will bring them wealth and riches or prestige. These poor deceived individuals cause more harm to the body of Christ than we could imagine. This self seeking attitude in ministry must stop and repent. Sometimes when someone is truly deceived they believe they are doing right and it is difficult to prove to them that they are in error.
My advise is simple ask God to reveal your motives vs his plans.
Be released from your pastor or leadership with good standings before you embark on ministry.
Never try to raise money but learn to lean on God's financial principles for ministry provision. My motto is 'Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and he will add all things."
Let your pastor encourage you to step out not you tell your pastor.
Finally trust in the Lords timing.
