TRUE FOLLOWERSHIP AND SUBMISSION

True followership and submission to a pastor, prophet, evangelist, teacher, or ministry begins with an understanding of the essence of the Gospel—not the pursuit of the spectacular, manifestations, or crowd size.

Sadly, much of modern Christianity has shifted its focus from Christ and His finished work to signs, wonders, personalities, and numbers. While manifestations have their place, they were never meant to be the foundation of our faith. The Gospel remains the center.

The Apostle Paul, addressing the elders of Ephesus, did not commit them to miracles or experiences but to the Word of God’s grace:

“And now I entrust you into God’s hands and the message of his grace that is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all his holy ones who have been set apart for God.”
Acts 20:32 TPT

Paul also declared:

“For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”
1 Corinthians 2:2

When I speak about Christ being the absolute focus, I am not merely referring to mentioning the name of Christ in sermons. I am talking about teaching Christ in His totality as the essence of the Scriptures and their fulfillment. Christ is not a subject within the Gospel—He is the Gospel.

Paul introduced himself as one separated unto the Gospel of God and immediately defined that Gospel as God’s Son:

“The Gospel concerning His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 1:1–3 AMPC

The Scriptures find their meaning, fulfillment, and revelation in Christ. Therefore, true ministry is not measured by manifestations, crowds, or charisma, but by how clearly Christ is revealed and taught.

As Paul emphasized:

“Our message is God himself…”
Colossians 1:27 MSG

This understanding is essential for both ministers and their followers. When Christ remains the focus, neither the minister nor the congregation becomes the center of attention. With this mindset, even a minister will not find it difficult to admit wrongdoing, receive correction, and walk in humility, because his identity is rooted in Christ and not in maintaining an image before people.

A ministry is not validated by the size of its crowd, but by the clarity of its message concerning Christ.

The essence of true submission is not loyalty to a personality, but devotion to the Gospel being preached. Follow Christ, and follow those who faithfully reveal Him.

THERE IS NO POWER IN ANOINTING OIL

When a bottle of oil becomes a permanent fixture on the altar, it can easily shift people’s focus from Christ to a symbol. Christ in you is enough.

The purpose of ministry is not to make people dependent on oil, water, cloths, or external objects, but to reveal Christ and His finished work. When Christ is truly taught and understood, believers discover that everything they need is already found in Him.

You only keep giving people oil when you have not fully given them Christ—not merely by mentioning His name, but by teaching Him, revealing Him, and helping people grow in the knowledge of Him.

This is why 2 Peter 1:3 is so profound:

“Everything we could ever need for life and complete devotion to God has already been deposited in us by his divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing him…”
2 Peter 1:3 (TPT)

Notice the standard for enjoying victory in Christ: not dependence on external objects, but the knowledge of Him. God has already given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. The believer’s growth, victory, and experience of God’s provision flow through an increasing knowledge of Christ.

Hebrews 10:1 reminds us that shadows were never meant to replace the substance:

“The old system of living under the law presented us with only a faint shadow, a crude outline of the reality of the wonderful blessings to come…”
Hebrews 10:1 (TPT)

Oil, like many Old Covenant practices, served as a shadow pointing to a greater reality. Christ is that reality. When the shadow becomes the focus, people can miss the substance. The ministry of the New Covenant is to unveil Christ, not to build dependence on symbols.

The Apostle John wrote:

“But the wonderful anointing you have received from God is so much greater than their deception and now lives in you. There is no need for anyone to keep teaching you. His anointing teaches you all that you need to know…”
1 John 2:27 (TPT)

The anointing is not in a bottle; the anointing abides in the believer forever through the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Paul also taught that believers have been sealed with the Holy Spirit:

“And because of him, when you who heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit.”
Ephesians 1:13

The believer is already anointed in Christ and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. We do not seek an external anointing to complete what Christ has already accomplished within us.

The power is not in the oil; the power is in Christ. Oil may serve as a symbol, but Christ is the substance. The believer’s confidence must never rest in a bottle of oil, but in the indwelling Christ and the revelation of His finished work.

The goal of ministry is not dependence on symbols, but maturity in Christ.

“Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
Colossians 1:27

CHRIST: YOUR TRUE FRIEND AND LOVE

I have come to realize one thing about this world we live in: the only completely trustworthy Partner and Friend is Christ.

Do not put your ultimate trust in people, but love everyone. People may fail, change, disappoint, misunderstand, or walk away. Many are only interested in what they can gain from you, while very few genuinely care about how you feel or what you are going through.

This is not a reason to become bitter or withdraw from people. Rather, it is a reminder to anchor your heart in the One who never changes. When your confidence is in Christ, you can love others freely without placing on them a burden that only God can carry.

Jesus remains faithful when others are unfaithful. He stays when others leave. He understands when others misunderstand. His love is not based on what He can get from you, but on who He is.

“It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.”
Psalm 118:8

“A friend loves at all times.” Proverbs 17:17

“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

Let Christ be your confidence, your comfort, your strength, and your closest Friend. Love people, serve people, forgive people—but place your trust in Christ alone.

CHRIST IS YOUR TRUE FRIEND AND LOVE.
