# A pillar is something that holds something else up. So obviously an important prerequisite for being a pillar is that you help to bear an important part of a load. Whether that load is physical one or spiritual one, a pillar will play a key role.
#A pillar needs to look good and by that mean that they must be a sample and a sample of obedience to My word. Nobody wants to see a pillar that looks cracked, worn, and crumbling, or they won’t trust it to bear the weight. This doesn’t mean putting on a show, but it does mean reflecting Me in your life and actions and words as much as you’re able.
#A pillar needs to be strong and sturdy. This means that you have to have faith and be strong in Me and in your beliefs and convictions. You can’t be blown about by any attack of the Enemy or you’re more like a straw than a pillar.
# A pillar needs to be dependable. Along with being strong, people also want to have the assurance and security that the pillar is going to stay in its place and do what it’s supposed to do. Others want to know that they can count on you and do your job very well and faithfully without needing lots of outside intervention to make you do what you must. You also have to be stable, not doing well just because you feel like it but consistently, because you know its My task for you and thus you put your heart into it day in, day out.
#A pillar takes initiative. A pillar doesn’t wait to be told to help with something. They see the need, seek Me, counsel about it if necessary and respond.
# A pillar has vision and a direct connection with Me. Pillars don’t need a go-between Me and them. They look to Me directly for My input on how to live and how to improve in bearing the load I have called them to bear. They feel personally responsible for getting My viewpoints on how they can do their job better.
#A pillar knows its place, and it appreciates and celebrates the chance to serve Me in the way I’ve called it to. It doesn’t try to be something it’s not, but does the best it can for Me in the place where I’ve put it.
#A good pillar works to make others stronger. A good pillar for Me doesn’t just do its own job and bear its own load , but it helps to pull others up to a higher level as well, and through their sample and through their interactions and effects on others , they help others to be more for Me as well.
# A pillar works with others and isn’t a one-man show. There are very few buildings made of only one pillar, and it’s in the teamwork of all the pillars that buildings are made strong. Strength and dependability are traits I look for in a pillar but that doesn’t mean that my pillars don’t need others.
# Pillars are content. They are happy to be a pillar for Me, and My joy becomes their strength.
# Being a pillar is a lifestyle choice. It’s not something that happens at some point and then your status as a pillar is forever confirmed. It’s the faithful performance of your tasks for Me at a high level of consistency and excellence that determines your status as a pillar in My house.
