Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for people, not people for the Sabbath.
For this reason the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath." Mark 2:27-28

It can be very
disturbing when you know you have a calling and you are not able to work
because of that. I have seen young preachers embarrassingly broke because they
have a calling. This can make you look funny in the eyes of people because they
see you as a lazy person; how can a whole MOG not able to fulfill family
obligations? The society is not merciful to people like that.
You have to understand
that you are Lord of the Sabbath; the Sabbath was made for you and not you for
the Sabbath. You come first before your call; if you don’t take care of
yourself and you die you will not be able to fulfill it. If that parent loves
her child so much that she won’t eat, she will die and leave the child.
The bottom line is that
you should be effective with your call 100%. Anything you do that will jeopardize
it is not allowed. It is like getting a job that takes all your time even on Sundays
so that you don’t have time to go to church or pray anymore. However, if you
have a part time job and you close at 12pm and you can still go and pray and do
your ministry then it’s perfect! God is not against work. You call can’t
support you well for now so you have to do something extra.
You were created for
your call, you came as a savior to that problem; Jesus came to earth because he
was coming to save mankind. You first and your call second; be respected and
loved. By all means fulfill that call but live your life!
