Church leaders who do their job well deserve to be paid twice as much, especially if they work hard at preaching and teaching. It is just as the Scriptures say, “Don’t muzzle an ox when you are using it to grind grain.” You also know the saying, “Workers are worth their pay.” 1Timothy 5:17-18 (CEV)
Ministry in Church is work. Pastors, Evangelists are as much engaged in work as doctors, bankers, or judges. Preaching and teaching the Word of God is honorable work that deserves pay like any other. Actually Scripture has said that ministering the Word of God must get twice more appreciation and pay than any other work.The person who preaches and teaches the Word ought to be honored and paid twice more than the company CEO, politician or sportsperson.
This is because the ministry of the Word benefits people in all levels of spirit, soul and body and profits a person not only in this life but for eternity.So just as you appreciate and honor your service provider with your money, even twice as much or much more appreciate and honor the person who encourages, comforts, and builds you up in the Word.
