For in the time of trouble
he will hide me
in his pavilion;
he will hide me
in the secret place
of his tabernacle;
he will set me high
on a rock. Psalm 27:5

*DOING GOOD TO ALL MEN*

Galatians 6:10 says, “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith” (ESV). The King James Version uses the word men, but the meaning encompasses all people (including 'your enemy' Matt 5:43-48; Luke 6:35; Rom 12:20-21) .

Christians have the command to “make every effort to add to your faith goodness” (2 Peter 1:5). We should be known for our goodness. When people hear the word Christian, their first thoughts should be of honor, integrity, kindness, and good deeds. The idea of doing good to all men echoes Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:16: “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Our lights shine when we follow Jesus’ example of doing good wherever we go (Acts 10:38).

In our efforts to do good, we must not overlook the priority Paul sets in Galatians 6:10.

We are to do good to everyone, but we are to pay special attention to the family of Christ. How we treat our fellow believers is a sign of our faith: “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:35). That love for the family of God shows itself in acts of goodness and charity (1 John 3:17) and is, in fact, one proof of salvation (1 John 2:9). We start doing good unto all men by softening our hearts toward our brothers and sisters in Christ and dedicating ourselves to their well-being, as though it were our own.

Part of doing good to all men is that we don’t return evil for evil (Romans 12:17). Jesus called us to set aside our natural reaction when someone wrongs us. Instead, we are to repay evil with good (Romans 12:21). This was written by someone living under the tyranny of Emperor Nero. Christians were being persecuted, their property seized, and their lives taken (Acts 8:4; Hebrews 10:33–34). So the command was not given lightly. Paul understood what that meant for Roman Christians. But he also knew that, when we return good for evil, we are allowing God to bring His righteous judgment upon the evildoers instead of taking matters into our own hands (Hebrews 10:30).

Another way we do good unto all men is that we actively search for ways we can bless people. Throughout history, Christians have led the way in building orphanages, founding schools, funding hospitals, digging water wells, and meeting the practical needs of people. Scores of Christian organizations around the world were created to rescue those caught in human trafficking, feed starving children, and minister to the suffering and persecuted. Most Christian missionaries serve on foreign soil at great personal cost to their finances and their families. They do so because they are following Jesus’ mandate to take the gospel to all the world (Matthew 28:19). They are doing good to those who have no way to repay them. They are obeying Jesus’ words from Matthew 6:3–4: “But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

Doing good can start today, with little things. Whatever our circumstance, there is some way to do something good for someone, to the glory of God. A small goodness is better than no goodness and can, in fact, have a great impact. As Samuel Johnson said, “He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do any.” Copied

The basic secret of public speaking is not trying to impress people—it is trying to connect with them.
Here are 7 principles that make a speaker effective:

1. Know your message – Be clear about the one main thing you want people to remember.

2. Know your audience – Speak to their needs, interests, and level of understanding.

3. Practice, practice, practice – Confidence comes more from preparation than natural talent.

4. Speak simply – Use clear words and short sentences. Don't try to sound unnecessarily complicated.

5. Make eye contact – Look at different people rather than staring at your notes.

6. Control your voice – Vary your speed, volume, and pauses. A good pause can make an important point powerful.

7. Tell stories and give examples – People often remember a story longer than a list of facts.
The biggest secret
Confidence does not mean you are never nervous. It means you have learned to speak effectively even when you are nervous.
A useful formula to remember is:
Prepare → Practice → Connect → Speak → Pause → Conclude.

🌿 Happy Sunday, My Dear Friend

As you begin this new week, remember that you don't have to understand everything God is doing to trust where He is leading you.

Don't allow yesterday's pain to steal today's peace. Forgive, let go, learn, and move forward. Protect your mind from unnecessary worries and your heart from bitterness.

When things are beyond your control, put them in God's hands and focus on what you can do today.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

May God give you peace in your heart, wisdom in your decisions, strength in difficult moments, and hope for better days ahead. Have a blessed and peaceful Sunday. 🙏

WHEN WE SAY “CONGRATULATIONS” TO A CHURCH POSITION—WHAT ARE WE REALLY CELEBRATING?

Somewhere along the way, the church adopted a strange habit: treating spiritual assignments the same way the world treats promotions. A pastor is transferred? “Congratulations!” Someone is elected to a church office? “Congratulations!” A leader moves to the conference? “Congratulations!”

But a serious question hangs in the air:
What exactly are we celebrating?
Because nothing in Scripture treats ministry roles as career upgrades.

1. CHURCH POSITIONS ARE ASSIGNMENTS, NOT PROMOTIONS

In the corporate world, congratulations make sense—higher pay, more prestige, a nicer office. But in God’s work, a new role simply means a new responsibility. Paul calls ministry “a good work” (1 Tim. 3:1), not a good advancement. Leadership in the church is not climbing upward—it’s kneeling lower.

2. MINISTRY IS ABOUT GOD’S MISSION, NOT HUMAN ELEVATION

A church officer is not being “elevated”; they’re being entrusted. Heaven isn’t impressed by titles. Heaven is concerned with faithfulness, humility and the weight of souls. The moment we treat church roles like status upgrades, we fertilize pride in the very place God planted humility.

3. THE HARM OF “CONGRATULATIONS”

This culture may look harmless, but it slowly reshapes the church:
• It makes ministry feel like a career ladder.
• It encourages ambition instead of calling.
• It teaches people to chase titles instead of service.
• It introduces competition where there should be consecration.

We begin to measure God’s work with worldly metrics—and the cross disappears behind leadership badges.

4. A MOMENT THAT CUT DEEP

I once spoke at a private family event not too long ago where another pastor—recently elected to the conference—was present. A lady stood up during her speech and proudly announced, “He used to be our pastor but he has just been promoted to the conference…”

The word “promoted” pierced me!

I’ve received “congratulations” myself when moved from one district to another. Yet my spirit has always resisted the idea. These are not promotions. These are just reassignments in the Lord’s vineyard.

And here is the uncomfortable truth:

5. IF THESE ARE “PROMOTIONS,” WHY THE DOUBLE STANDARD?

If reassignment is a promotion, then why don’t we congratulate:
• the pastor moved from a city church to a rural district?
• the former conference president now serving a local congregation?
• the former first elder now assigned as an usher?

We don’t—because deep down, we only congratulate what looks like a climb upward.
And that exposes the real problem:
We have become secular-spirited people celebrating secular ideas inside a sacred space.

This mentality is killing the spirituality of the church and encouraging worldly methods to “rise” in ministry.

6. WHAT WE SHOULD SAY INSTEAD

In Scripture, no one was applauded for receiving a divine assignment. They were prayed for.
Strengthened.
Blessed.
Consecrated.

Better words would be:
“May God strengthen you.”
“We are praying for you.”
“May God give you wisdom for this responsibility.”

That is the language of a spiritual church—not applause, but intercession.

7. THE CALL

Let us stop baptizing secular ambitions and calling them spiritual victories.
Let us resist turning ministry into a ranking system.
Church roles are not achievements—they are responsibilities.

Let’s return to a culture of prayer, humility, and service.

We must stop this trend before the world finishes reshaping the church in its own image.

And we have these “congratulatory” messages being posted on official church pages? copied

In this life, nothing remains permanent - not parents, spouses, family members, friends, power, riches, or wealth. All these are temporary, lasting only for a moment. Even the joys and comforts derived from them are equally ephemeral. The one constant in life is Christ, specifically the enduring joy of having a relationship with Him. Considering this reality, how well are you utilizing the opportunities you have? It is wise to utilize them effectively to secure that which is permanent. HATal, 2026
