(Jeremiah 3:14-15 KJV) “Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord ; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.”
If your pastors do not feed you with knowledge and understanding, then staying out of church is a better option. There is nothing as deadly as to be tied down in a church where you are not being fed with knowledge and understanding. You are better off being won anew than to be tied to a pastor who would not feed you with knowledge and understanding.
There are many types of pastors:
- Those whose god is their belly and their glory is in their shame
- Those given according to God’s heart
The scriptures say “God will give us pastors according to His heart“. These men and women will feed us on grace and truth with knowledge and understanding. You must be ready to receive them. They will feed us on grace and truth; but they will do this with knowledge and understanding.
The pastor God gives will feed you on the bread of heaven, Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that He is full of grace and truth (See John 1:14) The difficulty is not with the pastor, but will you eat what he serves? Your attitude can change his ministry and message. The pastor is given to feed the church; the church must have a hunger and thirst for truth and grace.
Listen! This is the time to re-organise yourself; you must receive the pastors God gave you. You are different from others, but He that ascended knows you inside out, and as the scriptures teach, He gave gifts unto men. You must decide to receive your gift with grace and content.
Your pastor is your pastor and you must receive him as long as he feeds you on Christ, full of grace and truth. Your pastor may not speak by word of knowledge but he speaks the truth anyway. Put your pastor at ease if you want the best of him to bless you. Don’t push him or her to be anything other than what God made him.
I hope you receive the gift God gave you!
I love you.
