Acts 21:17-20 KJV
And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. [18] And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. [19] And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. [20] And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
Here we can understand clearly the Apostle's testimony that was celebrated by other Apostles and leaders. A lot of miracles were done through the hands of the Apostle, but salvation was the source of their joy.
Some ministers have no recent testimonies of genuine salvation in their ministries, but a regular testimony of breakthrough, financial blessings, healing etc. None of which moves God.
On the other hand some are downcast for not seeing these visibly outrageous testimonies of breakthrough and financial blessings, though people are getting saved.
Luke 15:7 KJV
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
This is a simple misplacement of priorities, making disciples is our primary focus in the ministry, not making financial breakthrough.
When we all have this certain understanding we will celebrate good success as seen by God.
You can be a part of it, tell some about Jesus today and cause the heavens to rejoice
Prayers 🙏🏼: Lord Jesus, may I not misplace priority in service in Jesus name.
Remain blessed
