Why would I need to “get under” someone with a Title or senior position within a Assembly or Congregation? What you leaders should be directing the people of God to do is Study the Word of God, Pray always and Build a relationship with the Godhead. Read the Gospels and learn who your Savior is, learn about his Ministry and how he is Meek and Lowly in Heart! Jesus was full of the Holy Ghost not Pride! He made no reputation for himself and took on the form of a servant! KJV Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30
Many congregations are full of Doctrines of Men. Passed down from the leaders to the members of the bodies of these congregations. Led by proud men who will not submit to correction and because of their pride they control the lives of their members. No longer having a connection with God they fake it. Having a form of Godliness but denying the power thereof because they have no Godly direction anymore. KJV 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 2 Timothy 3:5
The people love to have it so. Worshiping and lifting up the creation rather than the creator. KJV Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Romans 1:21-25 Not seeking God for themselves but looking to a man to lead them. He creates lessons for them to study, demands church attendance, and takes their money with Tithes and Offerings. He spends the money on his livelihood, church buildings but not on the poor within the congregation. He doesn’t help the widow and that single mother who gets on the bus every service with her children to get to service. While he drives around in his nice vehicle. The poor members are shamed for getting food boxes because they’re told it’s begging and God’s people don’t beg. Yet he fails to take advantage of all the government programs offered to his assembly because it’s a not for profit. Take the cheese, food, veggies and help your people who are poor but instead you take 10% of their money that they can’t afford to give you and you put this on God. You tell them God will open up the windows of Heaven and poor out a blessing for them. A total misuse of the book of Malachi which is under the law in the Old Testament and was for the Levitical Priesthood. No such direction is given to the people of God under the New Testament!
Instead he teaches the members to become educated so that they can live an easier life. So they don’t have to struggle financially. Buy homes with 20 year mortgages, how do you know the Lord wants you to stay in one place paying off a mortgage? Did you seek the Lord for yourself or did you do what your leader said to do? Because if you’re educated and have money then he doesn’t have to worry about you coming for your money that he tells you is God’s money that he has stewardship over. Is God really concerned about fancy church buildings than the well-being of souls? Jesus fed the people, healed the people, taught the people, had compassion on the people, loves the people and died for the people. You misuse, misguide and rob the people of God.
If you are this leader repent and turn from your wicked ways! You have lost your relationship with God! You are a thief and you will answer to God for your sins against humanity! God is not mocked! Turn back to God, get back to the strait and narrow path that Gods will can be done in your life! AMEN!
