Oh! the ‘blunders’ we make…. in His name!

You’d have thought, that given the many teachings of our Lord, and the several epistles written by the early church Apostles; we all would’ve known the truth by now – and also, followed it keenly!

Sadly, most modern-day Ministers have chosen their own paths.

They not only distort foundational principles of the gospel, but have also become an embarrassment to the name of the Lord. Same name, whom they claim to profess.

All who’re called to leadership capacities in the Church, must follow Jesus’ example wholly.

This office – conferred on some, by God, doesn’t afford the ‘selected’ the rights to oppress or judge those, whom they have been commissioned to watch over.

Perhaps, we forget; that when appraisals start for the body of Christ, the parameters used for the leaders, will be far weightier than those used for the followers.

The scriptures make it clear, even as it is written:

“My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.”

(James 3:1)

Whilst it is noble, and very rewarding to be a vessel in the hands of God; the responsibilities attendant, must not be viewed lightly, nor treated with negligence.

For, to whom much is given, much more is required!

In Nomine Domini Nostri,

Jesu Christi.
