Excuse Me, Pastor! Are You Jesus?

I could no longer endure the constant reply by most Christians...."The Pastors Says...."

God chose someone in our midst and use them to speak to us. God could choose anything and anyone and it's most likely He will choose someone foolish and whom the world consider nothing. And I know none of you will be convinced unless my statement is supported by God's word. Galatians 1:1,
This letter is from Paul, an apostle. I am not appointed by any group of people or any human authority, but by Jesus Christ himself and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from the dead.

(Jesus chose 11 simple fishermen and a tax collector)

God sent His Holy Spirit to speak to us through someone; and it could be anyone, including animals and do not be shocked or surprised if your pillow speaks to you!

A pastor used by God is not someone who only teach people what to do, rather they are supposed to show us by example how to live a godly life. Pastors and every other servant of God are actually Jesus Christ in disguise. Every servant of God, fulfilled God's work powered by the power of the Holy Spirit. Every work belong to the Almighty God, who accomplished His own will through men He chose.

A servant of God does God's will silently and secretly away from the limelight. Jesus Christ do not seek publicity in what He does. Jesus Christ worked in such a manner that only the Father knows and is pleased. The Father is glorified when every good work is accomplished in secret. Galatians 1:10,
Obviously, I'm not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, then I would not be Christ's servant.

Jesus Christ ministered with love and humility.

No work can be accomplished in the absence of God's Spirit. Jesus Christ, promised the Holy Spirit to those whom the Father has chosen, when He left his earthly life and returned to the Father.

Jesus Christ disclosed to us that every of His sheep recognizes Him. "My sheep knows my voice".

If the Holy Spirit is the One performing miracles in our midst, then we are witnessing Jesus Christ, our Saviour alive and at work in every servant who sacrificed themselves as vessels to be used. What I meant to say is no man can fulfilled God's will without the presence of God's Spirit assisting them. It is the same to mean that Jesus must be present in you to fulfill God's will for apart from Jesus, we can not accomplished anything for God's honor and glory.

A servant of God is either doing God's will or his own will! It is either the Holy Spirit at work in a person or the person is merely doing everything by his own effort?

Do not just follow blindly.....seek and check out the truth....always remembering that the devil will never take a holiday from his work to deceive YOU! The devil is constantly at work to distract you from God's truth about Jesus our Saviour.

In closing, please never neglect reading the Bible and spending personal time with Jesus. The Judge will not accept your answer someday, when you stand before Him and say, "My pastor told me so..."

Do you see Jesus in your pastor?

Do you recognize the sermon he preached each week as those that were from Jesus Himself?

Does your pastor's lifestyle bear the fruits of the Holy Spirit?

And most important, do you know Jesus personally?

The shepherd chosen by God the Father is loving and humble and will not hesitate to face death for the honor and glory of the Gospel.
