I cannot say that ministry work isn’t a work. Yes, it is because it takes your time as well even though it may be a bit of your time but you should never take it as a job.
Being a prophet, pastor or apostle should never be seen as a job. The Gospel is given to pastors from God for free so they can be shared with us. At the same time, we are not meant to pay for any gospel because it was given to them for free and we should get it freely too.
If you have learnt a lot about Jesus Christ, you will know that he had a job. He was a carpenter. He took his life seriously as well so that he will be able to put some food on his table.
In the Bible, Mark 6:3 states that; Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
They all knew him. They kmew that he had a job. It’s just so funny the way some pastors of nowadays take the gospel work. If God calls you, you should know that you have to do it for free and not tell or ask people to pay you for the free gospel understanding that God has given to you.
Gospel is free. Jesus Christ had a job during his lifetime so tell your pastors to do so and no one will disturb you to pay any amount of money for gospel.
