Be Alert and Aware

Be Alert and Aware

Beware of certain members who start a church without the pastor’s consent,

It was their own decision without the pastor’s knowledge for they were not sent.

There are always confusion when a church leader does his own thing,

Because there was no peace when he left; for the love of God was not seen.

Members who walk in the love of God will not bring the pastor harm,

Because they refuse to leave with someone who is causing a membership storm.

God have spoken many times that his love should always be on display.

It’s wrong when members would leave their position just to have their own way

Many will leave and plant seeds against the pastor and bring others into discord,

They don’t realize what they are doing is displeasing to the Lord.

They will continue to invite church members to join them in their quest,

But those who will follow them will be out of God’s will and not be blessed.

Members who do such things will always have unrest in ministry,

Because it was not God that sent them out; it was them listening the enemy.

They are blinded to the fact that they have been operating out of God’s will,

Trying to make things happen even knowing that their ministry is not fulfilled.

There are a lot of churches that has been started by using another man’s flock

And the ministry that was started was built on sand and not on solid rock 

Always respect and honor the ones’ who have taught and trained you to succeed

They are the ones’ that God called to give you experience to fulfill ministry.

If you are under a shepherd, show honor and respect. This is what you do.

Never be involved with anyone who will try to take your shepherd away from you,

So if this message have open your eyes to what you have done in the past.

Then by God’s grace; ask for forgiveness and go on with God and be free at last.

Never associate with those who speaks evil of the shepherds that God have given.

So keep the unity together in love for this is the way we should be living.

If you are a leader such as a deacon, board member or any other department head,

Stay connected to the local church and to your shepherd and only be spirit led.
