Many believe that the Minister has generously provided an abundance of God, for his service in the preaching of the word. It is not so. Preachers are men who are enduring hardship as our Savior and the disciples did, asking for nothing but giving everything. Going into harms way to provide salvation for all who believe. After the tears of joy for those who are saved and the tears of loss for those who reject the truth.
Most times a thankless task that they perform, seeking only God's will and the introduction of lost souls to the truth. Their praise and reward is not on this earth, but in a country that exists somewhere else in time and space. For Jesus testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. A prophet is not without honor, but in their own country and among his kin, and in his home.
What then is their reward?
allows reading;. 1Co 9:18-23
What is my reward then? Really, when I preach the gospel, May I make the gospel of Christ, free of charge (Providing free what is freely received.), not to abuse my authority in the gospel (which is not thought to power, as not being the master of his flock, but as an example for them.).
For though I be free from all (as in the body.), but I made ​​myself a servant to all (in his mind.), that I could get more.
and said to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews, with those under the law, as required by law, that I can get them, which are required by law, those who are without law, as without rights (which is no right to God, but under the law to Christ) that I could get them that are without law. For the weak I became as weak, that I could get weak I am made ​​all things to all people, I could definitely have some (have an understanding of the various troubles that face a man in his quest for the truth ..
having an understanding of false doctrine and the difficulties people face in just trying to survive from day to day.) And all I do for the gospel of his (as it is not for any gain or prestige in this life, as a poor man ssrce of gold.) That I could be a participant this with you. (such as a carpenter with them in a foreign country .)
