HIS WORD ABOVE HIS NAME [PS.138:2] 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 CHRISTIANITY IS UNDER SEVERE ATTACK! ********************************** CUSTODIANS OF GOD'S WORD ARE FIGHTING THEMSELVES,LED ON BY THE DEVIL! 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 We all are witnesses to the drastic change taking place in the Christianity landscape. Doesn't anyone see the handwriting on the wall,that the devil is the one orchestrating and instigating this abnormalities. Anyone following us should know that we have been EXPRESSING GOD'S DISPLEASURE OVER HIS CHURCH, INCLUDING THE POLITICIANS THEY ALLOWED INTO INTO THEIR LIVES, AND THE CONSEQUENCES ATTACHED. A FEW DAYS AFTER, TWO JUDGES OUT OF THE FIVE THAT PRESIDED OVER THE ELECTION AT THE APEX COURT DIED MYSTERIOUSLY ON THE SAME NIGHT. WE ALSO REVEAL THAT, EXCEPT THERE'S REPENTANCE THERE ARE TWO OR MORE THAT ARE STANDING BY THEIR SIX FEET. ON THE FIRST DAY OF 2025, THREE PASTORS DIED IN ONE DAY... IT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE!!! My major pain tonight is how easy it was for the devil to infiltrate the lives of these pastors bringing shame to the Body of Christ Jesus. I do thank God sincerely that one of the biggest fishes that the enemy thought he has caught has backtracked and publicly apologized to the flock under his care(he was an invisible mentor to me, because he inspired me greatly), thus it was so painful to see the traits of the world beginning to appear in him. I really do appreciate his courage, because in him I see the first fruit of the mandate. He is in my prayers, even as he's a gaffer for others. Why was it easy for him to retreat? It's because he was qualified by God to occupy that position. This isn't to say some aren't qualified, but, they're held firmly in the enemy's grip, and do not see nor agree that they are no more on the same page with the ONE Who called them. They mistake their worldly acquisitions and large congregations as a sign of God's approval. YOUR EARTHLY DELIGHTS AND ACQUISITIONS ARE A NO, NO FOR GOD, FOR YOU AREN'T GOING TO MEET HIM WITH THAT GARBAGE! Our assignment today is to use God's Word to provide the attributes that a leader of God's flock should possess, not titles or certificates. The Bible specifically speaks about the qualifications for those who will lead a congregation of people. These qualifications have been the same for almost 2,000 years. Christ Jesus is the perfect fulfillment of these qualifications as the *Senior Pastor* of the Church. We shall be relying on these two scriptures...(Titus 1:6, 7; 1 Tim 3:2) This is the overarching, summarizing characteristic. The two scriptures show that Biblical qualifications for leaders in the church are deeply intertwined with the Gospel, which should be reflected in their character, behaviors, and relationships. Summarily, these are the main and necessary attributes we ought to possess before we can successfully lead God's flock. Without these basic yet extremely important attributes, it won't take long before the enemy dismantles our defenses and craftily forces us to tow his line. BUT THAT IS NOT OUR PORTION IN CHRIST JESUS' NAME,AMEN! 👉Noble Task: Eldership is viewed as a noble and beautiful responsibility, analogous to Christ Jesus giving Himself for His people, emphasizing a leader’s calling involves joy and sacrifice. 👉Above Reproach: Leaders must maintain a lifestyle that promotes the Gospel, avoiding actions that could bring disrepute to their ministry. Today, it's from one scandal to another for church leaders. Though we deny, and fool ourselves the more by jumping to human courts whose history we all know, the highest bidder wins. In almost every rumour,there tends to be an element of truth. The most reason our lives must be above reproach. 👉Marital Fidelity: The faithfulness and love of a pastor towards his wife exemplify the relationship between Christ Jesus and the church, portraying the importance of strong marital commitment. We here the shameful news of pastors sleeping with either church members or outside the church. Divorces have become a common spectacle in pastors' homes... how can you, that pastor(male or female) intervene in members marital squabbls? 👉Family Leadership: Fathers must model gospel principles at home, demonstrating God’s order and care through their parenting, reflected in their children's behavior. This is one of the most successful areas for the devil. Inflicting the spirit of the age on our children to tarnish our reputations. But we mustn't give up...this is an area where we must so much depend on the Ministry of the Holy Spirit...Rom.8:26. My personal experience here is very horrible, from the moment I had the auto accident that crippled me. But, leaning on the Holy Spirit has continued to strengthen me to hold on. 👉Stewardship: Leaders should recognize that all resources belong to God and be responsible stewards of those resources for His glory. THIS IS A TOUGH AREA FOR THE FRONTLINE PASTORS, THAT'S SERIOUSLY OFFENDING OUR FATHER. Are we caring for the less privileged in the household of faith,much less outside the faith. If we had been faithful and transparent with the church finances, and readily available to the less privileged amongst us, THE NUMEROUS DEBATES ON TITHING AND OFFERINGS THAT'S CREATED SERIOUS DIVISION WITHIN AND WITHOUT THE CHURCH,WOULD NEVER HAVE RISEN. 👉Humility: A Gospel leader must exhibit humility, recognizing their dependence on grace and approaching others with gentleness and a spirit of restoration. Oftentimes,our own members go to other pastors when in need of advice and encouragement, because of their inability to access us, because of the subtle arrogance success has bequeathed on us. 👉Gentleness: Patterns of gentleness, modeled after Christ Jesus, are essential qualities for church leaders, contrasting with quick-tempered or harsh behaviors. 👉Substance Independence: Leaders should find joy and fulfillment in the Holy Spirit rather than in addictions or indulgences, demonstrating moderation and self-control. 👉 Peace Pursuit: Leaders reflect Christ Jesus' role as the Prince of Peace, actively working towards reconciliation and harmony within the church. 👉 Generosity and Hospitality: A commitment to financial integrity and generosity, coupled with the practice of radical hospitality, conveys the open-hearted nature of the gospel. These insights collectively highlight how truly embodying the gospel transforms the characteristics and responsibilities of church leaders. Please, let us identify our various areas weakness (weak spots) through which the enemy has been kicking us like a football and strengthen them with full dependence on the FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD in us, Amen 🙇🙏!
