Dear man of God, or woman of God, ‘get out the way.’
I have seen many people fall out of church, and my ask is if they still tithe! Some, because of how bad they got condemned, give up on such uncompromisable laws! Just because a man of God said that those people would be nothing without him!
This is pathetic and dismal!
I’m learning that because you were chosen by God to create an avenue through which many would reach Him, should not mean you idolize yourself! The Holy of Holies must continue to stand unguarded! But we have mended the veil that was rent into twain; and have denied man access to God! We’ve settled for less, deriving our purpose from priesthood unto men rather than priesthood unto God!
Ahhh, and we become insecure, ending up controlling men so that we feel important!
I’m speaking to myself!
Yes, you started a church. That men could bring their tithes to the house of God! When we start claiming how important we are because we did so — we should ask, shall God’s people not have a place to offer their sacrifices! We should count ourselves blessed for having been picked to start those places — even if it was hard to create them in the first place!
I find that God was thinking about His people and we must remain stewards, just doormen — not that men come to see us — but that we open the doors for them to come see God! And not us! Period! I’m writing that He might reach you! I write that you might reach Him! Yes, I created a channel that both He and you could commune, but I must keep the channel open, only ensuring it doesn’t get blocked in any way!
I am not calling for the disrespect of doormen; but we are preaching personalities instead of the High Priest. Turning attention to us, most of the time! Those who disrespect the doormen shall be dealt with by His chastisement!
Ah! But we must get out of the way! We must lift Him up, that He may draw all men to Himself! Lift Him — and not ourselves! The pattern is us lifting Him and Him lifting us!
Victoria Orenze just posted something that shook me! How God turned tables for the proud! We see Nebuchadnezzar getting to eat grass! King Saul once chosen was rejected by God! Ah let’s not forget Lucifer!!! He tried to block the channel!
Ah! Let’s get out the way!
We must pray for those we see it’s taking, that God’s mercy prevails! And that He does unto them according to the mercies of David! And that He continues to keep us from falling or tripping; And that we die to self! And to everything that tempts us to get in the way of others trying to get to Him!
