[THE PREACHER'S CORNER]
THE PULPIT__IS IT FOR THE SOULS OF MEN OR THE SWEAT OF MEN? (PT.ONE)
By His Grace and Mercy,we have discussed this extensively,but I'm burdened to revisit it.
...but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. (Pro 12: 21 b)
This is exactly what's happening today. The wicked are filled with mischief.
Let's get one thing clear here.
Each time we read about "THE WICKED" in the scriptures,we are quick to POINT fingers at,or RELATE it to our PRESUMED OR PERCEIVED ENEMIES!
But on the contrary, THE WICKED, MEANS ANYONE, INCLUDING YOU AND I LIVING OUTSIDE GOD'S WORD... WHETHER YOU'RE A PASTOR, BISHOP, APOSTLE OR WHATEVER TITLE,WE GIVE OURSELVES...IN AS MUCH AS WE ARE NOT LIVING IN OBEDIENCE TO GOD'S WORD,WE ARE EQUALLY CLASSIFIED BY SCRIPTURES AS "THE WICKED!"
It's why sometimes we unknowingly pray against ourselves,and were God to be hasty to answer,many of us would be long gone.
Now,ideally,the Church is a place of Salvation,a place of discipleship,a place of grooming and making men for Christ Jesus. It's an environment where lives are broken,moulded and modelled after Christ Jesus to take their place in destiny.
Sadly,the focus of our pulpits today is a far cry from what we read in our Bibles.
BOTH IN LITTLE AND LARGE ASSEMBLIES, THE ATTENTION IS NO LONGER ON HOW TO HARVEST THE FRUITS OF THE SOUL OF MEN...BUT RATHER, IT'S ON HOW TO HARVEST THE FRUITS OF THE SWEAT OF MEN!
The number of unguarded pulpits we see today in solid Bible believing churches is quite shocking. Not unguarded in a physical sense but a spiritual one. Unguarded against those who pretend to deliver God’s Word but instead deliver error to meet their selfish ends.
And for a keen observer of the happenings in our pulpits today, these erroneous diversion from God's Undiluted Word has unleashed a scourge more harmful than any satan used to limit her in the dark ages.
And this is mostly encouraged by us believers in the PEWS, who have become too distracted and lazy to study God's Word for ourselves nor improve our prayer lives, EXCEPT TO PRAY AGAINST ENEMIES,WHEN WE SHOULD BE PRAYING FOR REVELATIONS AND SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT. WITHOUT REVELATIONS,THERE CAN NEVER BE RESULTS.
Today, Churches that offers the prophetic and prosperity as their trademarks are jam-packed during their meetings by fortune seeking christian believers,who usually return home famished in their spirit man.
Because, instead of being fed with God's Undiluted Word that brings conviction of our dependency on Christ Jesus for our existence,we are entertained with curious stories and physical expressions,that more than often leaves the hearers with more faith in what satan can do than what God has for us in Christ Jesus.
THE ENDGAME OF ALL THESE IS HOW TO REACH DEEPER INTO OUR POCKETS INSTEAD OF OUR HEARTS. MANY ARE MADE TO SELL THEIR HARD-EARNED VALUABLES OR EVEN BORROW TO SOW SEEDS TO THESE WORKERS OF INIQUITIES!
A Biblical pastor is one who receives or hears and speaks for God and not self...who also can courageously convey God's Message to His people. That is, they're messengers, servants, shepherds and watchmen of God and not the people;
Then spake Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD. (Hag 1: 13)
Read also,Amos 3:7,Jer.17:16,Isa.62:6,etc.
Their authority comes from God alone whose Messages (not their own personal messages) they bear. Jer.1:4-8.
The main purpose of God for His Messengers was to bear His Word for the aim of teaching, reproving, correcting and training in righteousness...
2Tm.3:16,1Tm.6:11. But this noble, inspiring and Divine function,very many of us have apparently shunned and abandoned for the filthy lucre of the flesh;
10. His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
(Isa 56: 10-11)
But what we fall to understand or perhaps believe is that, God is very much aware and angry with us, including even the people we are misleading who are running to us. God is very much aware of His sheep we are leading astray,and His Judgement has begun in His House;
2. Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;
3. Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! (Eze 13: 2-3)
And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them. (Jer 14: 16) Read also Eze.14:10,Jer.23:13-22
