Read 1 Sam.2 vs35-36. PRIESTHOOD 4 ECONOMC SURVIVAL. God, spkin 2ru a prophet, warned Elis household of coming judgment, dat He wld stop his lineage frm d right 2 d priesthood. He wld replace him wit a fa8ful & obedient servant. Howeva, those of his decendants wu want 2 force demselves in2 d priesthud wld com solely 4 economic survival. Gods genuinely called servants wu do not lose focus wil nt b in d priesthood(pastoral profession) 4 economc survival, but life impact. Wht are some marks or traits 2 identify one wu is there 4 economc survival rather than life impact in our contemporary setting? Included in d inexhaustbl list are crave 4 materialism, monetizatn of d gospel & xploitatn of d membershp etc. If we are called in2 d pastoral profession, may our bein there not b 4 economc survival but 2 impact d lives of pple of our generatn 4 God. Being there 4 economic survival rather than 4 life impact, according to 1Sam. 2 vs 35-36 implies one is operating within d matrix of divine wrath instead of Gods approval.May God elp us 2 b rightly disposed in dis most sacred calling(amen).
