A Call for Reflection Among Church Ministers: The Shift from Shepherding to Freelance Ministry

There’s a profound reason why many servants of God are stepping back from full-time pastoral ministry. More and more ministers, especially in the West, are choosing the path of freelance ministry—preaching, visiting different congregations, delivering a message, and moving on. It’s an easier road, one with less pressure and little accountability. But at what cost?

Imagine a time when true shepherds, called to pastor churches, become scarce because they’ve traded in their calling for a more flexible lifestyle. We are already seeing this shift, where pastors labor tirelessly, often with little recognition, pouring their hearts into the day-to-day care of their congregations. Unlike freelance ministers who share one sermon in multiple places, pastors must remain deeply invested, ensuring each message builds upon the last, knowing the needs and struggles of their flock, tackling challenges, and nurturing growth in a way only those truly called to shepherd can do.

And yet, there is a concerning trend. Many ministers opt for freelance ministry to avoid submitting under a church’s leadership, preferring independence over unity. How often do we claim humility, saying we “only exalt Jesus,” while subtly resisting being led by others? True revival requires unity, not just isolated efforts. Imagine if freelance ministries and church pastors came together under one leadership, honoring the roles of each: evangelists bringing souls to Christ, pastors discipling, prophets revealing truth, miracle workers breaking chains, teachers laying strong doctrinal foundations, and apostles establishing new communities of faith.

This is where revival truly happens—not in fleeting, energetic gatherings, but in an enduring movement of personal transformation and communal growth. Real revival isn’t a one-time event; it’s a continuous, Spirit-led renewal that comes from ministers willing to work together in humility.

Are we ready to move beyond individual callings and embrace this vision of unity for the Body of Christ?

🚨 Important Alert to Preachers and Pastors 🚨

We’ve entered a time where theological and biblical knowledge is accessible to anyone with an internet connection or through AI. What will set preachers apart in this new age is not simply how much they know, but the anointing to impart that knowledge. You may share the same knowledge as others, but it’s the anointing that makes the difference. This is why it's more crucial than ever to seek God's anointing.

We are in a season where it’s becoming clear who is truly called by God and who is merely occupying the office of the priest. Yes, having a degree in theology or a pastoral position with a good salary might seem like success, but remember: a position in ministry is no different from any other position in a company or government unless God has truly called and equipped you.

And by "equipped," I don’t just mean theological education—because anyone can study theology. The real question is: Has God called you, and has He anointed you for this work?

Let us all seek the anointing, for that is what truly makes the difference in ministry today.

JE REVIENS DEMANDER PARDON🙏

Reconnaissance Publique et Appel au Discernement 🙏

Chers frères et sœurs en Christ,

Aujourd’hui, je suis conduit par le Saint-Esprit à partager quelque chose d’important qui pèse sur mon cœur. En tant que prédicateurs et enseignants de la Parole de Dieu, nous avons une grande responsabilité de correctement diviser la vérité (2 Timothée 2:15). Cela dit, je tiens à reconnaître publiquement et à me repentir de quelque chose que j’ai enseigné dans le passé, mais qu’après réflexion et une étude plus approfondie, je réalise maintenant ne pas être aligné avec la vérité biblique.

Dans le passé, j’ai prêché un enseignement sur le changement de nom de Sarai à Sarah et de Abram à Abraham. J’avais suivi une explication que j’avais entendue d’un prédicateur respecté, qui prétendait que Dieu avait retiré le "I" de Sarai et l’avait donné à Abram, supposément pour signifier un changement d’autorité entre mari et femme. Selon cette explication, Abram serait devenu « Ibrahim », et le "I" représentait un transfert d’autorité dans leur foyer. À l’époque, j’avais fait confiance à cette interprétation parce qu’elle venait d’un prédicateur bien connu, et je n’avais pas pris le temps de vérifier l’information correctement.

En revisitant ce sujet et après une étude plus approfondie de la langue hébraïque et du contexte biblique, je me rends compte que cet enseignement n’était ni bibliquement ni linguistiquement exact. Les changements de nom de Abram à Abraham et de Sarai à Sarah sont effectivement significatifs, mais ils reflètent les promesses d’alliance de Dieu pour faire d’eux le père et la mère de nations. Cela n’a rien à voir avec un "I" transféré ou un changement d’autorité entre eux.

Abram (qui signifie "père exalté") a été changé en Abraham (qui signifie "père de nombreuses nations") dans Genèse 17:5 comme signe de la promesse de Dieu de faire de lui le père de nombreuses nations.
Sarai (qui signifie "ma princesse") a été changé en Sarah (qui signifie "princesse") dans Genèse 17:15, indiquant qu’elle serait la mère de nations également.
Il n’y a aucune base linguistique hébraïque pour dire qu’un "I" a été transféré de Sarai à Abram, et la Bible ne suggère aucun transfert d’autorité au sein de leur mariage. C’était un malentendu, et je suis profondément désolé d’avoir transmis cela dans mon enseignement.

Un Appel aux Prédicateurs et Croyants:

Cette expérience me rappelle l’importance cruciale de ne pas accepter aveuglément un enseignement, peu importe à quel point l’enseignant est respecté ou connu. Il est essentiel que nous, en tant que prédicateurs, prenions soin de vérifier soigneusement la Parole par nous-mêmes, et il est tout aussi important que les croyants testent chaque enseignement à la lumière des Écritures. L’apôtre Paul louait les Béréens pour avoir vérifié ses enseignements avec les Écritures (Actes 17:11), et nous devrions suivre leur exemple.

J’encourage tous mes frères prédicateurs, enseignants et croyants à poser des questions, à plonger dans la Parole, et à chercher la direction du Saint-Esprit dans tout enseignement. La Parole de Dieu est notre autorité ultime, et nous avons la responsabilité de la manier avec soin. Les erreurs peuvent arriver, mais lorsque cela se produit, il est de notre devoir de les corriger et de continuer à grandir dans la vérité.

Aujourd’hui, je partage cela publiquement parce que je me sens profondément convaincu de non seulement corriger mon propre enseignement, mais aussi d’encourager les autres à toujours chercher la vérité dans les Écritures en premier.

Je remercie Dieu pour Sa correction douce par le Saint-Esprit, et je vous demande vos prières alors que je continue à apprendre et à grandir dans la grâce de Dieu.

Soyons tous vigilants, humbles et prêts à apprendre dans notre marche avec le Seigneur. Ensemble, prêchons la Parole avec exactitude et fidélité, pour la gloire de Dieu et l’édification de Son peuple.

Au service du Christ,
Schadi H.

THE ANOINTING YOU SEEK: The Radical Path to God's Anointing

04/10/2024

Although I'm not a professional writer and don't always follow traditional writing rules, I feel compelled to share my work without waiting years to publish. My primary goal isn't publication or financial gain.

For those who have been following my teachings and preaching since I was called into ministry, you may have noticed that my books are compilations of the messages I've shared over the years, in conferences, churches, etc.. reflecting the values I hold dear. They have just been refined and organized.

With the help of tools that assist me in organizing my ideas and teachings, I'm converting my decades of work into books. For more than 20 years, these teachings existed only as manuscripts, and I wasn't sure how to turn them into books.

During moments of loneliness, doubt, and uncertainty, finding a purpose was crucial for me. I kept moving forward even when I couldn't see the end of the tunnel—a feeling that few may understand or relate to. I needed something to keep me going, and I found it in writing.

I've poured so much time, energy, and strength into writing because I believe there will come a time when God allows me to fully step into what He has called me to do. At that moment, my books will serve as a foundation for the teachings I'll continue to share.

My collections form a continuous journey, each book complementing the others. Together, they explore various aspects of faith—from doctrinal insights to practical Christian living, from theological depth to real-life application.

Why am I revealing this now? Because I believe that I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. This is why I write so much and why, for now, I've found my purpose in doing so.

WHY INDIVIDUALISM IS WEAKENING CHRISTIAN FAITH?

In an increasingly individualistic world, where self-sufficiency and personal autonomy are often viewed as ultimate virtues, many believers struggle to balance the values of independence with the communal nature of the Christian faith. Modern society frequently celebrates the idea that personal spirituality can be practiced in isolation, detached from any formal community or organized structure. Phrases like "I don’t need a church to follow God" or "My faith is private" have become common expressions of this mindset. While personal faith and individual spiritual growth are indeed important, the Bible is clear that Christianity was never meant to be practiced in isolation. Individualism, when it comes to faith, not only weakens a believer’s spiritual life but also hinders the effectiveness of the Church’s mission in the world.

I LOVE POINTING SENSITIVE ISSUES...😀

LUTTE AVEC DIEU : Conversations Honnêtes Sur la Prière, le Doute et la Foi 📚

Vous êtes-vous déjà senti frustré par des prières sans réponse ? Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé pourquoi la réponse de Dieu ne correspond pas toujours à vos attentes ? Vous n'êtes pas seul ! Dans mon dernier livre, "Lutte avec Dieu", je plonge dans les attentes communes versus les réalités de la prière — un voyage auquel beaucoup d'entre nous peuvent s'identifier mais dont on parle rarement ouvertement. 🙏

Ce livre est né de mes propres luttes non filtrées et de mes expériences de plus de deux décennies dans le ministère. En tant que pasteur, j'ai veillé au chevet d'hôpitaux en priant de tout mon cœur pour que les malades soient guéris, pour les voir ensuite mourrir. J'ai prié ardemment pour que des mariages soient restaurés, pour les voir finalement échouer. J'ai lutté avec mes propres prières sans réponse, ressentant le poids du silence quand j'avais désespérément besoin que Dieu intervienne. recement j'ai prié pour la provision enfin d'empecher la demolition de l'église de shelter Kampala, une église ou j'ai investi mon âme, mon souffle et ma vie mais malgré plus de 2 ans de prière j'ai ete forcé de voir le bâtiment démoli🙏

🌟 Ce que vous découvrirez :
Beaucoup d'entre nous sont enseignés à croire que si nous demandons avec suffisamment de foi, Dieu répondra toujours de la manière que nous espérons. Mais que se passe-t-il lorsque les réponses semblent retardées ou différentes de ce que nous attendions ? Dans ce livre, nous explorons :

✨ La Réalité de la Prière :
De l'"écharde dans la chair" persistante de Paul à la propre prière de Jésus à Gethsémani, l'Écriture nous montre que la prière n'est pas une transaction ; c'est une relation avec un Dieu dont la sagesse et l'amour dépassent notre compréhension.
✨ Les Réponses Inattendues : Découvrez comment les réponses de Dieu, bien que parfois différentes de nos désirs, sont toujours filtrées à travers Sa volonté parfaite pour notre bien ultime.
🌱 Mon Voyage Personnel :
Je partage mes propres batailles — priant pour des percées dans mon ministère, pour être seulement rencontré avec le silence de Dieu. J'ai demandé la guérison, la restauration et l'intervention, pour ne recevoir que des réponses inattendues ou aucune réponse du tout. Ce livre est une invitation à quiconque a déjà ressenti la piqûre de la prière sans réponse ou la confusion du silence de Dieu.
✨ Un Engagement Plus Profond avec Dieu :
La prière n'est pas à propos de manipuler les résultats ; il s'agit de se rapprocher de Dieu, même dans le silence, le doute et les moments sans réponse.
🚪 Je suis ravi de m'offrir pour des discussions, des lectures de livres ou des sessions de questions et réponses avec des congrégations, des petits groupes ou des familles qui souhaitent approfondir ces sujets. Que vous luttiez avec vos propres questions sur la foi ou que vous cherchiez une nouvelle perspective sur la prière, j'aimerais rejoindre votre voyage.

📞 Connectons-nous ! Je suis disponible pour visiter votre église, groupe ou domicile pour une conversation significative sur la foi, le doute et les complexités de la prière. N'hésitez pas à me contacter pour planifier une session — j'aimerais entendre votre histoire et marcher avec vous à travers le voyage magnifique, désordonné et puissant de la foi.

🙏 "La promesse de la prière n'est pas que nous obtiendrons toujours ce que nous demandons, mais que Dieu est avec nous dans la demande." 🙏

WRESTLING WITH GOD: Honest Conversations About Prayer, Doubt, and Faith

28/09/2024

📚 WRESTLING WITH GOD: Honest Conversations About Prayer, Doubt, and Faith 📚

Have you ever felt frustrated by unanswered prayers? Have you ever wondered why God’s response doesn’t always match your expectations? You’re not alone! In my latest book, Wrestling with God, I dive into the common expectations versus the realities of prayer—a journey many of us can relate to but rarely talk about openly. 🙏

This book isn’t just theory—it’s born out of my own unfiltered struggles and experiences of more than 2 decades in ministry. As a pastor, I’ve stood by hospital beds praying with all my heart for the sick to be healed, only to watch them pass away. I’ve fervently prayed for marriages to be restored, only to see them fall apart. I’ve wrestled with my own unanswered prayers, feeling the weight of silence when I desperately needed God to move. 🙏

🌟 What You’ll Discover:
Many of us are taught to believe that if we ask with enough faith, God will always answer in the way we hope. But what happens when the answers seem delayed or different from what we expected? In this book, we explore:

- ✨ The Reality of Prayer: From Paul’s persistent “thorn in the flesh” to Jesus’ own prayer in Gethsemane, Scripture shows us that prayer isn’t a transaction; it’s a relationship with a God whose wisdom and love go beyond our understanding.
- ✨ The Unexpected Answers: Discover how God’s responses, though sometimes different from our desires, are always filtered through His perfect will for our ultimate good.
- 🌱 My Personal Journey : I share my own battles—praying for breakthroughs in my ministry, only to be met with God’s silence. I’ve asked for healing, restoration, and intervention, only to receive unexpected answers or none at all. This book is an invitation to anyone who has ever felt the sting of unanswered prayer or the confusion of God’s quietness.
- ✨ A Deeper Engagement with God: Prayer isn’t about manipulating outcomes; it’s about drawing closer to God, even in the silence, doubt, and unanswered moments.

🚪 I’m excited to offer myself for discussions, book readings, or Q&A sessions with congregations, small groups, or families who want to dive deeper into these topics. Whether you’re wrestling with your own questions about faith or looking for a fresh perspective on prayer, I’d love to join your journey.

📞 Let’s Connect! I’m available to visit your church, group, or home for a meaningful conversation about faith, doubt, and the complexities of prayer. Feel free to reach out to schedule a session—I’d love to hear your story and walk with you through the beautiful, messy, and powerful journey of faith.

🙏 “The promise of prayer isn’t that we will always get what we ask for, but that God is with us in the asking.” 🙏

Embrace Doubt as a Part of Faith, Not an Enemy of It
—Excerpt from my book "WRESTLING WITH GOD"

Many Christians fear doubt, seeing it as a sign of spiritual failure or weakness. However, doubt is not the opposite of faith; it’s a natural and necessary part of the faith journey. When approached with honesty and a willingness to seek God amid questions, doubt can be a powerful doorway to deeper understanding and trust. Here’s how to embrace doubt as a valuable part of your spiritual growth:

1. Recognize That Doubt Is Normal

Doubt is a universal experience, not limited to the spiritually immature or weak. It’s a part of every believer’s journey, and acknowledging doubt as normal removes the stigma that often surrounds it, freeing us to explore our questions without shame. The Bible is filled with examples of faithful individuals grappling with doubt—Moses doubted his ability to lead, Elijah questioned God’s plan, and even John the Baptist, who baptized Jesus, sent disciples to ask if Jesus was truly the Messiah (Matthew 11:2-3).

I’ve sat listening to champions of faith, from my homeland in Africa to the West where I now live, and seen how often faith is portrayed as the absence of doubt. But inside, I remind myself: “You haven’t seen anything yet—life can teach you lessons that theology and Bible school cannot. Every great man and woman of God has walked through seasons of doubt.”

Doubt doesn’t disqualify us; it deepens us. It’s a catalyst for growth, pushing us to seek God more earnestly and discover His truth in new and profound ways. So, don’t fear your doubts—embrace them as an invitation to wrestle with God and emerge with a stronger, more resilient faith.

This section is part of my book "WRESTLING WITH GOD," where I explore how the challenges of doubt can lead to a more authentic and profound relationship with God.

📢 A WARNING TO THE BODY OF CHRIST: BEWARE OF MISGUIDED EXPECTATIONS!🙏

Today, many are drawn to the message of Christ with the expectation of guaranteed health, wealth, or relational restoration. We hear countless promises: “Come to Jesus, and He will fix everything!” While it’s true that Jesus can heal, provide, and restore, this is not the primary purpose of the Gospel. The cross is not about quick fixes or temporary benefits—it’s about spiritual restoration, eternal life, and reconciliation with God.

⚠️ The Danger of Wrong Motives: When people come to Christ solely for earthly blessings and those expectations aren’t met, it can lead to disillusionment, bitterness, and even turning away from the faith altogether. This is a dangerous path that shifts our focus from the true purpose of Jesus’ sacrifice. Our faith must be rooted in His grace and our need for redemption, not in what we can get from Him.

📖 The True Gospel: A balanced message emphasizes repentance, the need for a Savior, and the hope of eternal life. Jesus calls us to take up our cross, not to chase after the comforts of this world. Our relationship with Him is not transactional; it’s about knowing and loving the One who gave His life for us.

🚨 Scriptural Warning: The Bible warns us about these times. “For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.” (2 Timothy 4:3-4). This is happening today as many seek preachers who promise prosperity, prophecies, and miracles without addressing the deeper call to repentance and transformation.

🚨 A Call to Preachers and Believers: As a result, some preachers have drifted into emphasizing prophecy and miracles over the true Word of God. We must return to the foundation of the Gospel—the message of the cross, salvation, and eternal hope.

Church, let’s not be swayed by messages that only tell us what we want to hear. Let’s seek the full counsel of God’s Word and pursue a genuine relationship with Christ. Remember, Jesus didn’t come just to make our lives better here on earth—He came to give us eternal life. Let’s keep our eyes on Him, the true treasure of our faith! ✝️❤️
