I want to be a teacher.
Why?
To educate those seeking to learn.
Those in need of mentoring.
Those seeking an image to respect.

I want to be a doctor.
For the money.
For the wealth.
Just hear this not the reasons.
To be instructed why?
If to help another.
To save lives if possible.
To be the best medical professional.
To find a cure for a disease.

I want to be a lawyer.
For the money.
And depends upon the field you represent.
You might be blessed like so many others on earth.
Or defend those against the injustice of the law.

I want to be a minister.
Really?
Explain why?
For the money.
It's a business, a corporation.
And tax-free to protect my wealthy.
Look, how many gospel singers claiming to be ministers?

Explain this again?
For the image.
I start my own church if my senior minister won't let me be what I want to be?
Really?

So you want to be a minister?
Well, comprehend you the shepherd of the flock.
You must be compassionate, a counselor, a listener, a teacher of the word.
A saver of souls when others are tempted.
You must use the temptation of Jesus as your storyline.

To be all things.
You must be sincere.
Let's keep it real.
