Daily Devotions: Rewards of Ministry - August 26, 2026

2 Corinthians 1:12 (NLT) – “We can say with confidence and a clear conscience that we have lived with a god-given holiness and sincerity in all our dealings. We have depended on God’s grace, not on our own human wisdom. That is how we have conducted ourselves before the world, and especially toward you.”   In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall discusses the foundational guidelines and rules of ministry that every pastor and spiritual leader must live by. Drawing from the life of the Apostle Paul, he highlights the call to live among God's people with sincere, god-given holiness rather than joining in questionable activities or relying on purely human wisdom.   Pastor Sumrall explains that spiritual leaders operate from a completely different core than political or business leaders; their priority is not financial "return on investment" (ROI), but the saving and nurturing of souls. Although the world may not fully understand or appreciate this calling right now, pastors can remain steadfast knowing that on the day Jesus returns, the eternal rewards given by the Father will make those they served truly proud. ---- Don’t forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon 🔔 to stay updated.
