When does MINISTRY become INIQUITY?

Activity in ministry does not equal your relationship with God.

“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” - Matthew 7:22-23

The idea that ministry = your relationship with God, reminds us of the workaholic that neglects spending intentional time with their spouse & tries to justify this by saying, “look at all I do for us - I pay the bills, I provide for us, I buy us nice things…”. They’re missing it. All their spouse wants is to be in relationship with them and KNOW them.

Your ministry can literally become iniquity if you’re not spending time with the Lord. He wants to KNOW you. This week, we interviewed @luke_stclair and the episode was full of convicting reminders like this. If you feel that your prayer life is at a standstill, you’ll be blessed by this interview. Just look for the episode called “How to PRAY” on Apple & Spotify.
