Pastors, you have the most difficult vocation of the five fold ministries. Daily, you have the unique job of keeping the body of Christ together and growing spiritually, a task that is virtually impossible. Your ministry is a daily endeavor of management. Several times in a week you have to deliver to your congregation the message that you believe God has given you, and then have faith that the people are ready to receive it. This can be a very stressful process. Added to these responsibilities is the scheduling and monitoring of the Teacher and the Evangelist so that your congregation will grow with a balanced knowledge of God. The Apostles and Prophets ministries will be addressed at a later time.

Many Pastors are concerned with church growth, missionary work and outreach ministries. You may be one of the Pastors with exceptional management skills and so your church is flourishing. Your ability to hire the right assistant pastors, teachers, worship leaders and staff has enabled your ministry to work harmoniously. You seem to have it all, a subject to teach and a staff to teach it well, yet you lack the relationship that you once had with Jesus. Your ability to control your ministry obstructs you from intimacy with Him.

Like many Pastors, you may not be a very good manager and you struggle everyday in the ministry. Your fellowship with Jesus has been reduced to you praying continually about your church, church elders, deacons, Sunday school and choir. It is difficult to get your staff and congregation to work together with you in order to move in the direction you feel God wants lead. Your prayers seem to go unanswered and sometimes you just want to give up. The stress of managing your ministry has caused you to have a disconnection with Jesus.

Pastor, when you find yourself disconnected from Jesus, you have a very difficult time reconnecting with him because you’re restricted by your own methods, teachings and doctrines. You have created your own bondage and you need help getting out. Pastor, you have received revelation from God, but one revelation on any subject is sure to be followed by more. Because of the revelation you received, you mistakenly believe that if you approach Him in any other way you would be violating God’s teaching and will.

Pastor, Jesus is not a method. Jesus is not a teaching. Jesus is not a doctrine. Jesus is not a principle by which we live. Jesus is not any of the Gifts. Jesus is not the fruit of the Spirit. Jesus is the timeless and never changing “I am.” He has never lost His desire for intimacy with you. He loves you and He has tremendous longsuffering for you. You are His shepherds, the ones He trusts His beloved bride to. There is not a word that could give the proper emphasis to the amount of love and desire for intimacy He has for you. And you need to feel intimacy with Him as you once did. You need to know the personal fellowship that can only be experienced between you and Jesus, Jesus and you. You need to feel His love for you and your love for him.

It does not matter if your church has a membership of 15,000 or 15. It does not matter if you are in the city and your services are broadcast on national television or you are in a mountain town ministering to a local Indian tribe. The pastoral ministry is sometimes the most difficult job to have and maintain an intimate connection with Jesus.
