Thank you I totally agree thank you
The church belongs to the Lord. Ephesians 5:23, "For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body." You first duty is to your wife and children. Make sure that you take your family on a four day Carnival Cruise before you invest money to building up the church. That is not your job.
When God is ready for you to build the church he will provide the finances in addition to your yearly family vacation. For now take your fiances and invest in your children with music lessons, dance, karate and acting lessons, education, etc. Use your extra money to invest in owning and operating your own business. God will bless your business and provide funds for you to build his church.
Many times people who have been called to ministry will neglect their wife and children. They believe that church members are to call them at all times of the day and night with their problems. Psalms 142:1, "[[Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave.]] I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication."
God will isolate (cave) each and everyone of us. People will go through and experience some problems that their pastor is not going to be able to solve. The more problems that you have the more that you will soon realize that you need God and that no man can help you not even your pastor. The ministers primary job is to preach the word of God ultimately it will be God who will fix the problem.
Now there are some ministers who want to be all up in your business, finances, wife, etc. Most of your business should be between you, your wife and God. Remember that the husband is called to be the minister (priest) of his house. Many men do not operate in their God given authority as the head of the house but want to be the head of God's house.
