After all, who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only God’s servants through whom you believed the Good News. Each of us did the work the Lord gave us. (1 Corinthians 3:5 NLT)
The most well-known evangelist is only God’s servant, and the most obscure pastor in the smallest of communities is only God’s servant.
It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow. (1 Corinthians 3:7 NLT)
God‘s rewards are not for how big I did my ministry, but for how faithfully I did my ministry.
The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. (1 Corinthians 3:8 NLT)
The subtitle of my book Shepherd Leadership is “The metrics that really matter.” The whole third section of my book When Sheep Bite is about remaining faithful to the field where God has called you.
Your faithfulness to God’s call is what matters. God sees you, God will sustain you, and God will reward your faithfulness!
