The Privilege

By Dag Heward-Mills

The ministry of Jesus Christ is not a burden. It is a privilege! A privilege is a right or benefit given to some people and not to others. A privilege is a special opportunity to do something. A privilege is a special advantage that is not enjoyed by everyone. A privilege is a benefit enjoyed only by certain people. A privilege is a special exemption granted to certain people. Serving God’s people will always be a privilege. There is no greater honour and no greater privilege than to become a servant of the Most High God! When God called you to be a shepherd, He was giving you a special advantage that is not experienced by many people. Learn more about the privilege of becoming a servant of God, through this refreshing book by Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, author of the best-selling series on Loyalty and Disloyalty.

What is a Privilege?

For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, THEY URGENTLY PLEADED WITH US FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF SHARING IN THIS SERVICE TO THE LORD’S PEOPLE.

2 Corinthians 8:3-4 (NIV)

Serving God’s people will always be a privilege. There is no greater honour and no greater privilege than to become a servant of the Most High God. If you understand what it means to be a shepherd, you would plead for a chance to serve in that capacity.

A privilege is a special opportunity to do something. Actually, becoming a shepherd is a special opportunity given to you by God Himself.

A privilege is a right or benefit given to some people and not to others. Indeed, the benefits of being a shepherd are not enjoyed by everyone.

A privilege is a special advantage that is not enjoyed by everyone.

A privilege is a benefit enjoyed only by certain people.

A privilege is a special exemption granted to certain people.

A privilege is an advantage or source of pleasure granted to someone. God gives you an advantage and a source of blessings when He makes you a shepherd. Being a shepherd will be a blessing to you! Shepherds will care for people but the shepherd also receives many blessings because he is a shepherd.

The ministry of Jesus Christ is a privilege indeed. To be in the ministry is to be given a special opportunity to do something.

To become a shepherd is to be given a right and a benefit that is not given to others.

Not everyone enjoys the benefit of being a shepherd. Shepherds are given a special advantage
