Ministry Today
You can never claim to love the head and hurt the feet at the same time!
The pains the feet feels are mutually shared by all parts of the body, because of the central nervous system.
You can’t claim to love Christ, who is the head of His body, and hurt the feet of His body! No genuine man of God intentionally hurts another genuine man of God.
The worst hurts ever are words! Once spoken they can never be retrieved. Your word is a sword. Be careful what you say of others! Be careful how you unsheath your sword.
Those who live in glass house shouldn’t throw stones, but if they do. They are creating storms they can’t control.
Just a few days ago, I was praying over issues like this and I heard the LORD say to me, “Son, when you speak against another of my servant to hurt him and pull him down, it is not just him you are hurting but Me.”
“Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the lord is able to make them stand,” Romans 14:4.
You don’t pull someone down so you can go up! Ministry is not competition but complimentation.
The most hurtful part of it all is when someone you have trusted with your pains, uses the information against you! If it is an enemy, then it’s okay… but not a friend!
“For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: but it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of god in company,” Psalms 55:12-14.
Only wild beasts devours each other and when ministers of God resort to this means, they take the forms of ferocious beasts.
“But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another,” Galatians 5:15.
This is the face of ministry today! Oh, what a shame!
