Speaking at the Pastors and Leadership Conference in Orlando, hosted by Bishop T.D. Jakes, Pastor Sheryl Brady shared on Friday a powerful message, entitled “Don’t stress out … stretch out,” with thousands of women attending.
As burdened and overwhelmed church leaders listened on, Brady identified that the real object of ministry was not gathering people to oneself but taking others to Jesus.
Sharing the story found in the Scriptures where Jesus fed the multitudes, the dynamic pastor addressed the desire of Jesus to gather his flock to himself.
Though the Bible estimated that more than 5,000 men alone (not including women and children) were hungry and tired, instead of sending them away to find their own food like the disciples had suggested, Jesus told them to sit them down in groups of 50 or 100 and feed them.
“God sent me here today to tell you what you really need to do in your life is just sit down,” Brady stated. “Because if you just sit down and shut up [He is] about to give you a miracle.”
