Facts:

👉Pastors are not superhuman, they can get to breaking points
👉most pastors don't have people to pour their hearts to
👉The only army that shoots its soilders and lieutenants without any tangible offence is the church
👉pastors neglect thier own needs to meet the needs of others
👉A man of God is an ordinary man in the hands of a mighty God
