THE 10 HIDDEN REASONS FOR FINANCIAL STRUGGLES IN LIFE AND MINISTRY.

Many times pastors think the financial sufferings and struggles they go through is as a result of demonic attacks.

It is not every suffering or struggling that is from Satan. We must sometimes leave Satan alone. Here are some few reasons pastors suffer financially:

1, When you resign too soon from a ministry that pays you to start your ministry and you don’t have the financial capacity to stand alone financially.

2, Failure to accept the fact that ministry is not working for me so let me add something that can bring additional income to support my family and ministry.

3, Becoming full time too soon is one of the major reasons for financial struggles in ministry. Many still don’t know there is a difference between FOOL TIME MINISTRY & FULL TIME MINISTRY. When you are not doing evangelism, not praying and not counselling go to the market and sell something legally to put food on the table.

4, Failure to build yourself in ministry. Ministry is capacity building. When your impact is minimal on people’s lives your income will be minimum. Ministry comes before money not money before ministry. Your money is in the impact of your ministry.

5, ignorance about financial matters is the most deadly disease among pastors who are struggling financially. There is WHAT TO KNOW about ministry finances before you can generate them. I learnt 33 practical wisdom to finance my ministry as I studied pastors who are financially buoyant in ministry.

6, Failure to spend time before God in prayer to identify your financial rod that will part your financial Red Sea. There is something God has given you that can bring in the finances. Elisha asked the woman WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR HOUSE? I’m also asking you WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

7, Not having any source of income. Many pastors don’t have any source of income. Failure to build a source of income means nothing will come into your hands. There must be at least 4 minimum sources of income into your life.

8, Many pastors are not givers but only takers. Failure to sow seeds block the flow of finances into your ministry. Identify ministries above and under you and sow seeds.

9, Failure engage poverty eradicating prayers to break any financial limitations upon your life. There are forces that want to make you poor in ministry.

10, Raising too large a family without the financial resources to take care of them. When you have a big family it means many mouths to feed, school fees, high bills to pay.
