24 NOVEMBER SUNDAY SERVICE WITH APOSTLE STANFORD AND CINDY CHRIS
THE RETURN OF THE APOSTLE
MAN OF GOD
People who are close to the man of God are the once who betray them most, they are the once who fight them more than people outside the congregation. Miriam and Aaron fought Moses, they spoke against him and complained about him going against God’s law of not marrying outside Israelites. Moses forgave them but God was angry and brought wrath upon Miriam. No matter what you know, or how much critics you have ready about the man of God, don’t speak against the man of God, because the man of God may forgive you but the Lord will not let it be, His anger will be upon you.
In this generation, people don’t honor their man of God but rather fight them. Servants of God are bleeding because people tent not to have the same accord with them. Man of God, pray day and night for people, they fast and sacrifice for people but because of the mentality of people, no one feels for them or honor and appreciate what they do for people. The man of God doesn’t serve people, but he saves people to come to salvation.
People look at the man of God as evil people when they put boundaries and restrictions to their access, but it didn’t start that way, the congregation pushes their man of God to the extent that he will act in protection of his calling and service to Christ.
Honor brings immediate access to your blessings. Ruth honored Naomi and this brings her immediate access to marriage. Honor is when you follow when things are upside down when things are tough and hard. When you honor, it has to be to a man of God you know spiritually, a man whose spiritual background you know of. Honor opens doors for you, you cannot be able to honor God if you can not honor the man of God (His servants). Your man of God is like you GPS, he gives you direction to when you want to go, but if you don't listen well instruction of the GPS you will get lost. If you listen to your GPS very well, you will arrive at your destination in time, henceforth if you don’t listen to the directions from your man of God, it will take long for you to reach to your destiny.
Not every man of God is your man of God, it is not good to let every man of God lay hands on your head. Laying of hands is more spiritual than physical, in that process spirits are transferred. If a man of God lay hand on you while he has some other spirit that is not of God it is transferred.
(Exodus 17v11&12) Amp. Now while Moses’ hand was lifted up, Israel was the stronger: but when he let his hands down, Amalek became stronger. But Moses ‘hands became tired; so the put a stone under him and he took his seat on it Aaron and Hur supporting his hands, one on one side and on the other; so his hands were kept up without falling till the sun went down.
Learn to stand up in the gap of your man of God, when your man of God can not handle it, be there to stand by him. Aaron and Hur stood up in the gap of Moses for the sake of Israel if they could not have raised Moses ‘hands Israel was going to lose. Sometimes what makes us not win the battles and wars is because we don’t stand up in the gap of our general in the war. The more you support your man of God in times of need the more battles you will be able to win. When a man of God falls, that’s the time when he needs the congregation more, he needs prayer support for him to be able to stand again.
Character and behavior matter when it comes to blessing and miracles, some blessing does not last for long because of character, so as miracles, they delay manifesting or manifest but do not last because of character and behavior.
Stand up for your man of God, be helpful in the house of the Lord and stay away from speaking against the once bridging and transporting you to where you are destined to be.
To God Be The Glory
Shalom
