S.O.S.

SOS is an international morse code distress signal. The use of this code was to alert other of the danger that is around them. This morning the meaning of SOS is "Support Our Sisters". As SistersNMinistry we need encouragement and support from each other. We need to be committed to this support by our action and words.

It is hard to get this kind of support when sisters are trying to tear each other down, destroy their character or even destroy their life. Competition, envy, jealousy, deceit and manipulations in the pulpit and ministry is not what we should be about. Over the past few years I experienced all and more from other sisters in ministry. The remarks were "I can do that better", "She preach like she's the pastor" or "Who put her in charge, well I'm not listening to her" and etc.

This type of attitude makes it hard to do ministry effectively. Let us remember,
God has given each of us unique gifts for ministry which can not be imitated by others. If we find ourselves off our wall and trying to do ministry outside of our gifts let us check to see why are we really do this.

Instead of tearing each other down let us build each other up. In order for us to accomplish more we must stand united. Let us send out the distress call for some real praying sisters who are committed to the reality of ministry.
