The Toilet Ministry
The Way of the Lord: Title: "The Unseen Ministry: Embracing the Role of a Spiritual Toilet"
Introduction:
As I reflect on my journey, I realize that my calling is not to seek recognition or reward but to serve others selflessly, even when it's challenging and unappreciated. I've come to understand that my role is akin to that of a spiritual toilet – a vessel for others to release their burdens, cleanse themselves, and start anew.
The Journey Begins:
I opened my home to young adult girls who had been abused or abandoned by their families, providing a safe haven for them to heal and grow. I sacrificed my monthly earnings, meant for my own family's well-being, to support these girls and other church members. Some have gone on to graduate from university, while others have moved on without even a word of gratitude.
The Cost of Sacrifice:
My family has borne the brunt of my sacrifices. My wife has cried countless times, worried about our own children's well-being. My children have felt unloved, as I could no longer provide for them as I once did. They've even been sent home from school due to unpaid fees. My mom still rents, while I've sold land and borrowed money to keep the ministry afloat.
The Weight of Responsibility:
Church bills piled up, and I became the sole breadwinner for the ministry. Some of the girls I helped turned against me, spreading harmful rumors that threatened my family's safety. Despite teaching them forgiveness, some left without expressing gratitude or offering support.
The Toilet Ministry:
In the midst of chaos, I realized that my role was not to seek appreciation but to serve. Like a toilet, I've become a vessel for others to release their emotional, mental, and spiritual waste. I've learned to let go of expectations and trust that God sees my efforts.
Lessons Learned:
1. Selfless service is not about recognition but about obedience to God's call.
2. Sacrifice is necessary for growth, but it requires boundaries to maintain emotional and spiritual well-being.
3. Forgiveness is key, even when others don't express gratitude.
Conclusion:
Embracing the role of a spiritual toilet has taught me humility, selflessness, and trust in God's plan. I'll continue to serve, even when it's difficult, knowing that my efforts are making a difference in the lives of those I've helped.
Scripture Reflection:
"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." – Matthew 25:40
Call to Action:
If you're feeling called to serve others selflessly, remember that your efforts may go unappreciated, but they are not unseen. Trust in God's plan, and know that your sacrifices are making a difference.
