Dear Minister, God Has Backups

The majority of Christians have allowed themselves to be filled with pride. They boast because of their gifts and level in ministry. 

The other day I heard Jesus saying, we did not choose Him but He chose us to bear fruits. 

Indeed, God has backups. When Gehazi rejected a triple portion of anointing, Jehu had an opportunity. When the sons of Eli forsook God, Samuel was appointed. 

Your unfaithfulness will give a substitute the chance to play. When Saul became stubborn, God chose David, a man after His own heart. 

Have you not read the Bible that a donkey was once used by God to talk to a prophet?

You are not the only personnel of God. The Lord has backups. God has many kingdom militants who have not tasted the abominations of this generation. 

There are many people in God’s hatching place. They are God’s generals under construction. The very day you mess up, God will replace you. 

When Judas rejected his place as Jesus’ financial minister, for just thirty pieces of silver, Mathias had an opportunity. 

God has backups. When men rejected their place in the ark, it became a hostel for animals. 

You said you will not accept their invite again, because the money they gave you was small. You sometimes change the sermon, when there is poor attendance. 

You cancelled the programme because your picture on the flier was not big enough, and your title was not added to your name. 

Dear Minister, God has backups. If it is men you want to please, you must be ready to be replaced because you are not the only Minster of God. 

The very day you drop the microphone, someone more anointed, very loyal, and faithful to God, will pick it up and do extraordinary things. 

I remember the other day, when John the Baptist said, it behooves Jesus to increase, so that he would decrease. 

Do not run after fame, else you will fade soon. If it is likes and popularity you want, you will become the puppet of the devil and loose your position in Christ. 

Fight a good fight, finish the course, and keep the faith. God is thy reward and thy great shield. Look unto him the Author and Finisher of their faith. 

Indeed God has backups. If you mess up He will replace you.
