“If you love me, Feed my Sheep” John 21:17…
As under Shepherds under The SHEPHERD ( Psalm 23), GOOD Shepherd, ( John 10:11) ,GREAT Shepherd ( Hebrews 13:20) and CHIEF Shepherd (1st Peter 5:4) YESHUA HA MESSIACH( Jesus The Messiah), regardless of your TITLE or POSITION you MUST remain TRAINABLE, TEACHABLE, COACHABLE, and CORRECTABLE.
SURRROUND yourself with people who will tell you the TRUTH! Proverbs 27:6 states“ Wounds from a friend can be trusted but an enemy multiplies kisses.”
BLESSINGS flow from the TOP; so before we ANNOINT and APPOINT others and SEND them on ASSIGNMENT, make sure you as the PASTOR,APOSTLE,PROPHET,ELDER/LEADER,etc of the Church have been ANOINTED , APPOINTED , EDUCATED , and CONSECRATED.
The BODY of CHRIST is PHYSICALLY SICK because the LEADERS are not SPIRITUALLY HEALTHY. Many are CONSUMED and have CON SOME with being liked, and building a temple that makes their name great. They are looking to be LIKED, INVITED, and ACCEPTED.
We PAUSE once/twice a year ( Christmas /Easter) for a few hours or days to ACKNOWLEDGE the BIRTH, DEATH, and RESURRECTION of the MESSIAH. Then go FULL THROTTLE for WEEKS and MONTHS planning SEVERAL celebrations for OURSELVES RELIGIOUS LEADERS or CHURCH AUXILIARIES ( Birthday Parties, Dinners, Church Anniversary, Pastor Anniversary, Clergy Appreciation, Wedding. anniversary, Usher, & Choir Anniversary ) that last an ENTIRE month! Put GOD back on the THRONE and REMOVE your IDOLS.
There is a DIFFERENCE between a WINDOW and a MIRROR . The window only shows us a GLIMPSE of ourselves while giving us a FULL VIEW into the lives of others. A MIRROR allows us to REFLECT on our own lives.
Because the followers in the FLOCK don’t SIT where we SIT, they can’t SEE what we SEE. Don’t FLEECE the FLOCK by using the WINDOW of other people’s lives as an OPPORTUNITY for your own SELFISH-GAINS and PERSONAL ADVANCEMENT in the KINGDOM of GOD. Start with the person in the MIRROR and closely EXAMINE your MOTIVE for MINISTRY. Are your actions so YOU can SHINE or are you REFLECTING the LIGHT of CHRIST?
MANY leaders seek to be APPLAUDED by MAN, rather than APPROVED by God! When TRUE DELIVERANCE takes place, folk will not like you, invite you, or accept you!
As LEADERS, too often we GO ALONG to GET ALONG for fear of loosing MONEY or MEMBERSHIP. Seek FIRST the KINGDOM of GOD and His RIGHTEOUSNESS, then ALL these things SHALL be added unto you. ( Matthew 6:33)
In 2020, everyone talked about 20/20 VISION, but have PLUCKED OUT their own eye and turned a BLIND eye and DEAF ear to what GOD is trying to EXPOSE; in leaders INDIVIDUALLY, and the BODY of CHRIST, COLLECTIVELY.
EXPOSURE, is NOT always a BAD thing. It brings HEALING and AWARENESS to the ENTIRE body. Leaders and their followers alike are moreconcerned with COVERING folk rather than CORRECTING them. But COVERING also involves CORRECTION!
GOD’s WORD has a MESSAGE for your MESS regardless of your AGE! When giving a MESSAGE to the people,some leaders act as if they have ARRIVED, are ABOVE satanic influence, demonic attack, or being DECEIVED by the wolves in sheep’s clothing.
SELF-EXAMINATION is more IMPORTANT than the PLATFORM, PEDALSTOOL, and PULPIT on which you stand or the POSITION/TITLE you hold. We seek to deliver others but some leaders need DELIVERANCE themselves.
There is a difference between GODLY ORDER in the Church (BODY OF CHRIST ) and the orders given by the MAN OF GOD who is leading the CHURCH BODY.
It’s not about the DEMON-STRATION of WARFARE but the APPLICATION of the WORD. It’s not about the PROPHETIC gifting but the POWER of the GIFT! It’s at the name of YESHUA/Jesus that every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that HE not your leader is LORD!
MANY have the HOLY GHOST but have NO POWER!
….That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. (1st Corinthians 11:30,NIV).
DO MORE in 2024-To Get Your House In Order-There Are Levels To This!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
