*DAILY DEW 30/JUNE/2025* *THE DEMANDS OF MINISTRY* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. And when his friends heard [of it], they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself."* (Mark 3: 20-21) _Bible Insight_ Jesus' ministry was so intense that he and his disciples couldn't even find time to eat (Mark 3:20). This highlights the overwhelming demands of serving others and spreading the gospel. Jesus' commitment to his mission was unwavering, and he prioritized helping others over his own physical needs. When Jesus' friends heard about his activities, they thought he was "beside himself" (Mark 3:21). This shows how easily people can misjudge and label others based on their actions or circumstances. Jesus' friends didn't understand his priorities or the source of his strength, leading them to question his sanity. _Key Lessons to Apply:_ - *Ministry can be demanding*: Serving others and spreading the gospel can be overwhelming, requiring sacrifice and dedication. - *Not everyone will understand*: People may misjudge or criticize us due to a lack of understanding or differing perspectives. - *Stay focused on your mission*: Like Jesus, we should prioritize our purpose and values, even when faced with criticism or misunderstanding. - *Prioritize your mission*: Stay focused on your goals and values, even when faced with challenges or criticism. - *Be understanding of others*: Recognize that people may not always understand your perspective or priorities. - *Seek support from like-minded individuals*: Surround yourself with people who share your values and can provide encouragement and support. _MEDITATION:_ *"The demands of ministry are sometimes underrated. May those who are facing harsh criticism and strenuous ministry demands remain strong and focused."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_June,2025* ❤ *Facebook Link:* https://www.facebook.com/share/1ZXrcgLmwm/ Please follow *David Joshua Egbochuo* on Facebook for more positive impact contents.
