I Peter 5:4 NKJV
“and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.”
I Peter 5:4 NKJV
We all are shepherds on many levels.
We are shepherds over our siblings, in family, at our workplace, in our community, in government, in church, and in ministry.
As shepherds in our respective positions, we are to shepherd them as unto our Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ.
We don’t shepherd people unto our gain or to fulfil our own agenda. We shepherd them for His kingdom and for Him.
Everything we do unto the people we are shepherding is accounted, measured, and rewarded by our Chief Shepherd.
Whatever investment we invest as a shepherd to our sheep is invested back into us. Though it is not about the return we receive from doing it God’s way. But it is about giving God the honour for being our Chief Shepherd.
It is important to know that we are all serving under our Shepherd Jesus Christ. We are all accountable to Him.
When we serve Him in His way and do everything unto Him, God would crown us with His glory not only in heaven but also here on earth.
That glory will elevate us to shine His glory here in this world. That glory will begin to change the atmosphere around us.
God’s way of shepherding will cause everyone to taste that the Lord our God is a good good God.
Healing their brokenness, restoring lives, building their confidence in Christ, and launching them into living in God’s plans.
Blessings
Ps Ambrose
