IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL
TOPIC: GOD'S MEASUREMENT OF GOOD LEADERSHIP NOT BY HAVING LARGE CONGREGATION
The current trend of outcome-based churches serves as a good example.
Their leaders preach a widely popular message, and thousands of people follow them. Yet, Jesus says in Luke 6:26, "Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for so did their fathers to the false prophets."
Brethren, Popularity is not a good measurement of God's pleasure with a leader!
Jesus Christ, the most perfect Spokesman for God who has ever lived, only had about 120 true followers when His ministry ended (Acts 1:15). This was not due to failure on His part, but because His Father's message could be wholeheartedly believed only by those whose minds God had already prepared to accept it.
"Purpose-Driven" church leaders will not preach the unadulterated Word of God because they know it is divisive. It would also thwart their goals of a large following and a large income. Thus, their messages do not involve repentance, sound doctrine, or God's law, except where it may serve to further whatever purpose is driving them. Their messages do not remind people of their moral responsibilities to God and brother, and thus if they claim to speak for God or say that God sent them, we can know from biblical patterns that they are, in fact, false prophets. Their large churches, as amazing as they might seem, are not accurate indicators of God's involvement or blessing.
Don't misunderstand me friends, I didn't mean all large churches are having fake or false pastors, we bless God for many large congregation all over the word where souls are prepare for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but I can't but talk on these end time false pastor who are not biblically law abiding because they want crowd in their church because of tithes and offering, such fake pastors are not altering the perishing soul and sinners who are yet to know Christ.
We shall know the truth and the truth shall set us free.
LET US PRAY
DEAR LORD JESUS CHRIST, OPEN OUR HEART TO KNOW, OUR EYE TO SEE AND MAKE US MORE CLOSER TO YOU IN JESUS NAME,
Share this meal
Good morning friends
