What Do You Do When Pursuing God Isn’t Fun Anymore?

Van Crouch

By Van Crouch

Some people start out well in ministry, but somewhere along the line they decide to hang it up, leave the ministry, and go do something else. If the Christian life isn’t producing what you hoped it would and pursuing God isn’t fun anymore, what should you do? Here are five ideas that I believe will help you.

1. Clarify—The devil will try to tell you you’re not called. But you clarify the call of God that is on your life. Tell the devil, “I’m called of God, and you’re a liar! God is for me and with me, and He has not changed His mind! I am in the right place at the right time!” Don’t use the devil as an excuse for everything you want to find a cop-out for.

2. Purify—If the Christian life has turned into a drag, sin may have gotten in. Get the sin out of your life or you’ll be miserable. After he made mistakes, David prayed, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted to You” (Ps. 51:10–13 NKJV).

3. Simplify—Maybe you’ve loaded yourself down with so much that there is no way you can ever get it done. Remember this formula: S.I.B.K.I.S.—See It Big, Keep It Simple. You’ll be more effective if you’ll ask yourself, “Is this a good thing, or is this a God thing?”

4. Modify—You’ll have to make some changes. Too many times people go to the altar and practice remorse rather than repentance. “Remorse” is trying to feel sorry for things you like to do with no intent in your heart to change (or modify). “Repent” means to go back up to the highest level.

5. Magnify—Don’t look at where you are today. Look at where you’re going. If you’ll magnify God and call on Him, He will answer and show you great and mighty things to come.
