WHAT ARE THE DUTIES OF A TRUE MINISTER/SHEPHERD OF GOD
PART 2
As a Voice of the Lord you are also a messenger who brings a direct message from God and not yourself; as most do today. You are a messenger to God’s people and you must deliver His messages without fear or favour. Sometimes the message God give you to deliver may not suit your taste (as in the case of Jonah) but you are in no position to question God. Whatever He says He is capable to implement and if He wants it done it will be done with or without you. Jesus told the religious Leaders of His day that if the people stop shouting praises, the stones would; and He meant every word He said. Other times He gives messages of comfort and restoration; (“Then spake Haggai the Lord’s messenger in the Lord’s message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the Lord”). (Haggai 1:13) As a Voice you are a very unique person that has been called, chosen and charged to represent two kingdoms; therefore there is a very high expectation from both God who choose you and man/woman who you take the message to and for.
That is one of the reasons many Ministries have lost value in the sight of both God and man. Many of their Ministers/Shepherds speak and teach rubbish for either exploiting their congregations or inciting them. There is no knowledge in their words and what they preach is quickly forgotten, minutes after the service. What the people remember is how you shouted until goose bumps fill their bodies, how much you collected, who you incited them against. Many of them forget the scripture you preach from or your theme and most importantly what you said about God. I have been in churches where the Minister/Shepherd asked if anyone remembered the theme of he last Sunday message and it took more than five minutes to get an answer; and the one who give the answer took it from his/her notebook and not memory.
Let me tell you why this is happening; for it is written: For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. (John.3:20). Their deeds are so evil that they are afraid to preach or teach the truth before it be used as a measurement stick against them. They are wolves and using the Gospel as a means to gain earthly riches for themselves and their families. It is written about such Ministers/Shepherds: “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greek seek after wisdom; But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jew a stumbling block, and unto the Greek foolishness” (1Cor.1:18, 22, 23).
The Bible clearly instructs us Shepherds to be very careful what we say at any given time. “For the priest lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth, for He is a messenger of the Lord of host”) (Mal.2:7). Interestingly in our world today, many of our members learn how to lie, steal, corrupt, cheat, and even murder and get away with it(once they bring ten percent to the church): from the very lips of the Minister. A recent research carried out proves that many of the drug pushers, fruaders, internet criminals, rapist, etc., in some African Islamic countries are sadly professing Christians. The worst part of this is that in most cases those representing them (maybe to release them before the case goes to court) or taking a lawyer for them are Ministers/Shepherds. Well it would have a decent ending if they were releasing them to for the sake of evangelizing to them and helping them change their lives; but contrary to this they paid heavily to those Ministers/Shepherds and their churches are fill. The Muslims who collaborate with them spread this news and use it as a tool to convince their people that Christianity is a fake religion for criminals. I learned that in such countries, certain group of churches have less than one percent of the indigenous as members. This shameful behaviour destroys the reputation of Christianity and should be stopped at once. It is must be rooted out because it is not of Jesus Christ, but the devil who seeks to destroy us.
God highly value His True Ministers/Shepherds and recommend them highly to the flocks. Any Voice representing the Most High is His Ambassador and should live and act like an Ambassador because you came to prepare a way for the people to receive God through the Gospel you preach or teach. How can you preach/teach one thing and live another? It is not possible and you do not represent God. It is written : (“Behold I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me; and the Lord whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His people, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in; behold He shall come saith the Lord of host”) (Mal.3:1).
Bishop, What are you trying to say; are we now John the Baptist, that we should have these qualifications? Of Course you are, Dear Ministers of God, and you need to prepare the earth for the second coming of Jesus Christ. Your flocks should be able to follow that path that you have laid down for them to meet God for themselves and benefit from the promises of His covenant. Before coming to destroy the works of darkness upon the face of the earth; the Lord commands His Ministers to prepare the earth by uniting families in the right path. He compare you with Elijah His prophet; who brought message of draught to Ahab, was on the run most of the time, fed by divine instructions, raise the dead, prayed and God answered with fire, and taken to heaven alive in a vehicle.
This time the mission for you our modern day Elijah/True Shepherd /Minister is to unite the earth before the second coming of Jesus Christ, before the final defeat of the power of darkness. Isn’t that a huge enough task that we must concentrate our effort towards instead of seeking vanities? If we do not prepare the earth for the Lord’s coming we will all perish with the powers of darkness. For God instructs that if is not done He might just as well come and “smite the earth with a curse”
Yes, these are not my instructions but God, as written in His Holy Word/ “Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse”(Mal.4:5-6). Ministers/Shepherds can’t you see that the causes of numerous wars, economical disasters, incurable diseases, are because of our failure to unite the world with the Word of God? Don’t you know that he great darkness overtaking the earth is a result of our submission to greed, selfishness, lack of wisdom, disunity and not implementing the duties that we were called, chosen, and charge to do by the Lord ? Can’t you understand that speaking with one voice, singleness of heart and purpose pleases God? No, you do not, because of what you stand to loose financially, materially, politically etc., so you will continue to stick to your doctrines, traditions, beliefs that divide instead of unite; and yet we all claim to be Christians. We are the solution and yet we choose to be the problem.
2Cor. Do you know, Ministers/Shepherds; that the thorn that now buffets you from preaching/teaching/living the truth of God Word is your pride, love for material things, riches, that expensive car you worship; after exploiting your congregation to but it, women who you take advantage of in the name of the Gospel, yachts, private planes, etc., that their acquisition have become more important to you than the task on hand? I did not say you have no right to own them but when the passion of owning them takes first place in your life, brother/sister it is of Satan and not God. Ministers/Shepherds the Apostle Paul recognized that his own thorn came because Satan wanted to stopped the vast revelation from God that he received and spread; but he use his own thorn to help check himself and remember that he was just human and in no way God. In this way the messenger of Satan was defeated because in no way did the thorn impede Paul but encourage him.
(“And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure”2Cor 12:7.) Interestingly enough from what we see here Satan’s messenger has the ability to plants thorns in the flesh. They might just go unnoticed if we do not do a spiritual check up frequently. The Apostle Paul really wanted God to take away this temptation but the Lord give him a very wonderful answer that should reassure us that these temptations are not above us. We do not have to bow to them, but use them as a weapon against the sender. Paul was conscious of its presence and used it as a check mate to pride, etc., what about you?
If you are a true Minister/Shepherd of God, you will notice that God answer to Paul reassures us that regardless of what kind of thorn the devil inflicts upon you His Voice; you have the power to overcome. He answered: “….My grace is sufficient for you for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness….” (2Cor. 12:9a) That is why in proclaiming this great victory the Apostle Paul could boast in the power of God’s grace that render the power of Satan’s thorn useless and powerless over his life; with these words: “ Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak the, I am strong” (2 Cor. 12:9 b-10). Many Ministers use this verse to encourage their members to swim in sin; because we are under the Grace of God; but the Grace makes one strong to overpower the thorns of the messenger of Satan, thus having victory over the trials and temptations placed before you to fall.
Yes, you are supposed to be the Voice of God among men exhibiting all the attributes thereof. Shepherds do you know that you are qualified to hear clearly the voice of God? What if God speaks to you today, will you recognize His voice? Many claimed to be walking according to the instructions of God but in fact are walking by the principles of man’s logic and reason. As Shepherds/Ministers of God, it is very important to identify the voice of God, because Satan tries to perfect his art of duplication daily. However the voice of God is very extraordinary and unique and can readily be identify by those who truly serve the Lord. Let’s take a look at a few examples of True Ministers/Shepherds who had the unique experience of hearing the voice of the Lord; some recognizing it, while others had to be told.
It is not an ordinary voice and leaves a lasting effect upon those who hear it. It is unique and powerful beyond the imagination of man; it brings understanding, knowledge and wisdom, as we digest and interpret them. It is written: (“And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings; As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake; (“And the sound of the cherubim’s wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when He speaketh”. Ezek 1:24,29;10:5)
But Christ claimed that what these men heard were just the tip of the iceberg. The voice of God is more marvellous than you think; therefore there is a very sure way of recognizing it for clear interpreting it, and that is through acceptance and acknowledgement of Christ. God Himself pointed us to that method. “And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me; Ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape” (John 5:37). Jesus was simply saying that what was seen or heard in the past needed to be fully understood and that type of understanding comes only through Him. Read also ( John 12: 28-30)
The True Shepherd/Minister is also the voice of an Advocate. He/She is responsible to represent the people in times of difficulties and frustrations before the Lord; to represent the depressed, downtrodden, oppress, and disadvantaged on earth before the rulers of this world. He/she is expected to wed and bury them, be the shoulder they can cry upon in times of distress, be their consultant in times of confusion, nurture and nourish them when they are physically and spiritually malnourish, and the Voice that they can hear the instructions of God through. But I know for a fact that in many cases this is contrary to the true. Indeed a very unique task. Are you a True Shepherd/Minister of God? Are you a Voice for the King?
If you are really the Voice of God that I am talking about: what is expected of you? You are to represent them before God and man and help them to put their lives in order. That is why your calling is unique and demands a lot. You become an administrator for the people way of living. Much of what they do or say depends on how you mold them. You control their way of thinking because they see you as an oracle of God Himself; therefore if you are a crook, sadly majority of your congregation see it as a way of life. That is why I believe from the bottom of my heart that it is within the means of the church and not the political institution to take over and correct the economical downturn of our world today. However instead of finding solution to the economical problems, the Ministers are the ones to increase it by exploiting the people.
Because as a Minister, you are also a responsible to build the community to the standard God’s wants it to be. The people respect and you are the confidante for many suffering minds. Now because it is part of your role you must also be the solution. The people look up to you for it. Half of the church members lost their jobs, people are homeless and hungry; and there you are preaching nonsense calling it politics. People go to God for solutions in times like these and as the Voice, Ambassador, and confidante; of God they expect an answer from you. But many Ministers eyes are so close because of greed that they think it all starts and ends in that hall they call church.
Take the United States for instance; many have lost their jobs and businesses are closing for the lack of customers. If the church was in control they would start teaching/training their members some self sustainable skills and liaising with businesses to supply the items needed to help their members get started. If these people were trained in honesty, decency, and hard work; they would paid back for themselves for the items they received to get them started and regularly paid their dues to the church, without been being force or lied to.
Take for example the Ministers from Africa, India, etc.; who every year wants people to help out with money, money, and money. My question is when will they become mature and dependent on themselves? Never, if they continue to get those hands-outs instead of being taught how to fish, open a fishing industry and help others to open theirs. But the Ministers of the big nations think that if they help these people to become independent; their own ministries will suffer because they will have nothing to raise money for.
But all this is planted by Satan because he knows a fully economically control Church will easily defeat his purpose and tactics.
If each group that was made financially independent return five percent to those Ministries that set them up; there will be no need to lack; but dishonesty and fear have close the doors of trust and the right path have overgrown with weeds. Well back to your duties.
You have the duties to regulate the patterns that their discussions take daily positively lay the ground work for the shaping their outlook. Many times it is not an easy task and some like Dr. King die in the process. The end result was he did not die for nothing, for his vision lives on and he continues to motivate others with the truth of its impact. He recognized very early that even to the detriment of his life and that of his family; if change was to come than he had to be not only a Minister but a Advocate for truth, confronting the powers of his days with the need to bring the needed change that made a people/nation as God wanted them to live. He sought justice by the only means he knew how that would fit the recommendation of a Minister of God; through encouraging the people to understand the force behind truth ,even through non-violent means. As a dispenser of the knowledge of God, he prove that only through love and not blood shed could this problem be solve; for blood had already been shed on the cross of cavalry. He was one of the ambassadors of God that was truly a voice during our modern days.
Ministers/Shepherds, It is your duty to weep for your people before the Lord. You are to spend time daily lifting them up in prayers and seeking directions that will affect the way they live their every day life. For it is written: “ Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say; Spare thy people Lord, and give not thy heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is your God?”(Joel 2:17) That is the question many modern day heathens ask when they see the way we live; our faithlessness, our submissions to the ills of this world instead of taking control over them.
We are expected to go and do always according to the will and instructions of God and not ours. The reason many Ministers/Shepherds have so much storm in lives today is because they fail to follow the clear and precise instructions of God Almighty. You see if you do you might be thrown into the sea of life difficulties and problems until you realize your true calling. God instructions are always clear like this: “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city,, and cry against it; for their wickedness come up before me.” (Jonah 1:2) It instructs you when to move, where to move, what to do once you get there and why. It is always necessary to grasp this very important point or most of the time you find yourself flogging a dead horse that you are calling ministries. Because He send you he also provides specific instructions for how you will be taken care of during that period (Matt. 10:11-12).There is also a particular behaviour pattern laid down for you as you work in the lord’s vine yard; you are not the boss but the servant and you are to serve the people you shepherded. This is where we fail today many times over.
Today instead of been servants we wear big titles, robes, caps/hats etc. and want those we are to serve to bow to us. It is so sad. Take Jesus for example; walking most of the time, people calling Him just Jesus most of the time, and yet He is the King of Kings. I came to understand that great men serve and empty men spend their time fighting for titles and boasting about their achievements. For it is written: “….you knows that the princes of the gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you; but whosoever shall be great among you let him be your minister; And whosoever shall be chief among you let him be your servant: even as the son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and give His life as a ransom for many” (Matt. 20:25-28;Mk.10:43-45) (I love you Jesus). Today in many ministries’ we see the attributes of the authorities of the world and one cannot serve two masters at the same time.
Yes as the Voice of the Lord; we are instructed to be as humble as little children in our faith in God, have compassion, be witnesses to the ends of the earth, baptizing those converted, preaching the good news to the poor (not selling the good news to the poor) casting out demons and evil spirits, healing the sick and setting at liberty the physically and spiritually imprisoned. ARE YOU REALLY AWARE OF YOUR DUTIES??????? HAVE YOU GONE WRONG AND HAVE BEEN EMPTY. IT’S TIME FOR RENEWING, REFILLING, REVIVING IN JESUS NAME
LORD WE THE SHEPHERDS WHO YOU MANDATED TO CARRY OUT YOUR GOOD NEWS TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH; HAVE COME TO YOU JUST AS WE ARE; EMPTY VESSELS THAT HAVE FAILED YOU IN MANY WAYS IN THE PAST. RIGHT NOW WE ARE STANDING ON THE TRUTH OF YOUR WORD FOR CLEANSING AND REFILLING.

RIGHT NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH; WE BIND OUR WILLS TO THE WILL OF GOD; THAT FROM THIS DAY FORTH WE WILL BE CONSTANTLY AWARE OF YOUR WILL AND PURPOSE FOR OUR LIVES. WE BIND OURSELVES TO THE TRUTH OF YOUR WORD AND PROMISE EARNESTLY
FATHER, THAT FROM THIS MOVEMENT WE WILL NOT ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE DECEIVED BY THE MANY SUBTLE DECEPTIONS OF THE WORLD AND THE DEVIL.
LORD JESUS, YOU PROMISE THAT IF WE TRULY BELIEVE IN YOU AND THE WORKS THAT YOU DO, WE SHALL DO ALSO; AND GREATER WORKS THAN THESE SHALL WE DO; BECAUSE YOU WERE GOING UP TO YOUR FATHER TO SIT ON HIS RIGHT HAND.
RIGHT NOW WE BIND OURSELVES TO THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST AND PROMISE THAT NEVER AGAIN WILL WE TAKE IT FOR GRANTED OR MISUSE IT FOR SELFISH PURPOSES. FROM THIS DAY ONWARDS WE WANT TO BE CONSTANTLY AWARE OF ITS MIRACLE WORKING POWER TO RESTORE, HEAL, AND SAVE. WE BIND OURSELVES TO THE MIND OF JESUS CHRIST.; THAT WE WILL BE AWARE OF HOW HE WOULD HAVE US THINK IN EVERY SITUATION WE FACE DAILY. AS WE CRY IN UNITY FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR THIS NEW DAY IN OUR LIVES AND THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE ASSIGN TO US. REFILL US TO OVERFLOW AND HELP US NOT TO REACT OUT OF OUR OWN HUMAN, CASUAL THOUGHTS WHEN SITUATIONS ARISE SUDDENLY. MAY THE HOLY GHOST DIRECT US HOW TO THINK AND ACT LIKE JESUS. WE BIND OUR FEET TO THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT OUR STEPS WILL BE STEADY AND TRUE ALL DAY LONG. WE BIND OURSELVES TO THE WORK OF THE CROSS IN OUR LIVES SO THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO DIE DAILY TO OUR OWN SELFISH DESIRES AND MOTIVATIONS AND BE MORE LIKE HIM.
YOUR WORD SAID THAT SATAN AS LIGHTNING FELL AS HE WAS THROWN OUT OF HEAVEN. WITH THAT SAME POWER; FROM THIS DAY FORTH WE TAKE AUTHORITY AND BIND THE STRONG MAN SATAN AND SPOIL HIS HOULDHOLD AND TO TAKE BY FORCE EVERY BIT OF JOY, PEACE, BLESSING, FREEDOM AND EVERY MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL POSSESSION HE STOLE FROM US. IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST WE TAKE THEM BACK RIGHT NOW. SATAN WE LOOSE YOUR INFLUENCE OVER EVERY PART OF OUR BODIES, SOUL, AND SPIRIT. WE DESTROY, SMASH, AND CLASH EVERY DEVICE YOU MAY TRY TO BRING INTO OUR SPHERE OF INFLUENCE FROM NOW ONWARDS.
OUR HEAVENLY FATHER; HAVE MERCY UPON US FOR WE HAVE SINNED AGAINGST YOU AND YOU ALONE HAVE WE DONE EVIL IN YOUR SIGHT. WE HONESTLY REPENT OF EVERY WRONG DESIRE, ATTITUDE AND PATTERN OF THINKING WE HAVE HAD. FORGIVE US FATHER, FOR HOLDING ONTO WRONG IDEAS, DESIRES, BEHAVIORS, AND HABITS WE HAVE ACQUIRE ALONG THE WAY. WE RENOUNCE AND REJECT THESE EVILS. FATHER WE SUBMIT TO YOUR WILL AND LOOSE FREED THE STRONGHOLDS AROUND THEM THAT WOULD KEEP US FROM BEING COMPLETELY SURRENDERED TO YOUR WILL FOR OUR LIVES. IN TIMES LIKE THESE WE HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT WHAT WE WANT OR WHERE WE ARE GOING BUT FATHER WE SUBMIT TO YOU AND LOOSE ALL SPIRITS OF DOUBTS, FEAR, AND CONFUSION FROM OUR LIVES.
AMEN.
RIGHT NOW WE HOLD HANDS AS REFILLED VESSELS FROM EVERY CONTINENT AROUND THE WORLD AND TAKE BACK THE POWER AND AUTORITY THAT BELONGS TO US AND DECLARE THAT DURING THESE TEN DAYS OF FAST AND PRAYER THERE WILL BE MIGHTY TESTIMONIES AND A REFILLING OF THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
AMEN

Let’s take a look at a few examples of True Ministers/Shepherds who had the unique experience of hearing the voice of the Lord; some recognizing it, while others had to be told.
It is not an ordinary voice and leaves a lasting effect upon those who hear it. It is unique and powerful beyond the imagination of man; it brings understanding, knowledge and wisdom, as we digest and interpret them. It is written: (“And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings; As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake; (“And the sound of the cherubim’s wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when He speaketh”. Ezek 1:24,29;10:5)
But Christ claimed that what these men heard were just the tip of the iceberg. The voice of God is more marvellous than you think; therefore there is a very sure way of recognizing it for clear interpreting it, and that is through acceptance and acknowledgement of Christ. God Himself pointed us to that method. “And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me; Ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape” (John 5:37). Jesus was simply saying that what was seen or heard in the past needed to be fully understood and that type of understanding comes only through Him. Read also ( John 12: 28-30)
The True Shepherd/Minister is also the voice of an Advocate. He/She is responsible to represent the people in times of difficulties and frustrations before the Lord; to represent the depressed, downtrodden, oppress, and disadvantaged on earth before the rulers of this world. He/she is expected to wed and bury them, be the shoulder they can cry upon in times of distress, be their consultant in times of confusion, nurture and nourish them when they are physically and spiritually malnourish, and the Voice that they can hear the instructions of God through. But I know for a fact that in many cases this is contrary to the true. Indeed a very unique task. Are you a True Shepherd/Minister of God? Are you a Voice for the King?
If you are really the Voice of God that I am talking about: what is expected of you? You are to represent them before God and man and help them to put their lives in order. That is why your calling is unique and demands a lot. You become an administrator for the people way of living. Much of what they do or say depends on how you mold them. You control their way of thinking because they see you as an oracle of God Himself; therefore if you are a crook, sadly majority of your congregation see it as a way of life. That is why I believe from the bottom of my heart that it is within the means of the church and not the political institution to take over and correct the economical downturn of our world today. However instead of finding solution to the economical problems, the Ministers are the ones to increase it by exploiting the people.
Because as a Minister, you are also a responsible to build the community to the standard God’s wants it to be. The people respect and you are the confidante for many suffering minds. Now because it is part of your role you must also be the solution. The people look up to you for it. Half of the church members lost their jobs, people are homeless and hungry; and there you are preaching nonsense calling it politics. People go to God for solutions in times like these and as the Voice, Ambassador, and confidante; of God they expect an answer from you. But many Ministers eyes are so close because of greed that they think it all starts and ends in that hall they call church.
Take the United States for instance; many have lost their jobs and businesses are closing for the lack of customers. If the church was in control they would start teaching/training their members some self sustainable skills and liaising with businesses to supply the items needed to help their members get started. If these people were trained in honesty, decency, and hard work; they would paid back for themselves for the items they received to get them started and regularly paid their dues to the church, without been being force or lied to.
Take for example the Ministers from Africa, India, etc.; who every year wants people to help out with money, money, and money. My question is when will they become mature and dependent on themselves? Never, if they continue to get those hands-outs instead of being taught how to fish, open a fishing industry and help others to open theirs. But the Ministers of the big nations think that if they help these people to become independent; their own ministries will suffer because they will have nothing to raise money for.
But all this is planted by Satan because he knows a fully economically control Church will easily defeat his purpose and tactics.
If each group that was made financially independent return five percent to those Ministries that set them up; there will be no need to lack; but dishonesty and fear have close the doors of trust and the right path have overgrown with weeds. Well back to your duties.
You have the duties to regulate the patterns that their discussions take daily positively lay the ground work for the shaping their outlook. Many times it is not an easy task and some like Dr. King die in the process. The end result was he did not die for nothing, for his vision lives on and he continues to motivate others with the truth of its impact. He recognized very early that even to the detriment of his life and that of his family; if change was to come than he had to be not only a Minister but a Advocate for truth, confronting the powers of his days with the need to bring the needed change that made a people/nation as God wanted them to live. He sought justice by the only means he knew how that would fit the recommendation of a Minister of God; through encouraging the people to understand the force behind truth ,even through non-violent means. As a dispenser of the knowledge of God, he prove that only through love and not blood shed could this problem be solve; for blood had already been shed on the cross of cavalry. He was one of the ambassadors of God that was truly a voice during our modern days.
Ministers/Shepherds, It is your duty to weep for your people before the Lord. You are to spend time daily lifting them up in prayers and seeking directions that will affect the way they live their every day life. For it is written: “ Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say; Spare thy people Lord, and give not thy heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is your God?”(Joel 2:17) That is the question many modern day heathens ask when they see the way we live; our faithlessness, our submissions to the ills of this world instead of taking control over them.
We are expected to go and do always according to the will and instructions of God and not ours. The reason many Ministers/Shepherds have so much storm in lives today is because they fail to follow the clear and precise instructions of God Almighty. You see if you do you might be thrown into the sea of life difficulties and problems until you realize your true calling. God instructions are always clear like this: “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city,, and cry against it; for their wickedness come up before me.” (Jonah 1:2) It instructs you when to move, where to move, what to do once you get there and why. It is always necessary to grasp this very important point or most of the time you find yourself flogging a dead horse that you are calling ministries. Because He send you he also provides specific instructions for how you will be taken care of during that period (Matt. 10:11-12).There is also a particular behaviour pattern laid down for you as you work in the lord’s vine yard; you are not the boss but the servant and you are to serve the people you shepherded. This is where we fail today many times over.
Today instead of been servants we wear big titles, robes, caps/hats etc. and want those we are to serve to bow to us. It is so sad. Take Jesus for example; walking most of the time, people calling Him just Jesus most of the time, and yet He is the King of Kings. I came to understand that great men serve and empty men spend their time fighting for titles and boasting about their achievements. For it is written: “….you knows that the princes of the gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you; but whosoever shall be great among you let him be your minister; And whosoever shall be chief among you let him be your servant: even as the son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and give His life as a ransom for many” (Matt. 20:25-28;Mk.10:43-45) (I love you Jesus). Today in many ministries’ we see the attributes of the authorities of the world and one cannot serve two masters at the same time.
Yes as the Voice of the Lord; we are instructed to be as humble as little children in our faith in God, have compassion, be witnesses to the ends of the earth, baptizing those converted, preaching the good news to the poor (not selling the good news to the poor) casting out demons and evil spirits, healing the sick and setting at liberty the physically and spiritually imprisoned. ARE YOU REALLY AWARE OF YOUR DUTIES??????? HAVE YOU GONE WRONG AND HAVE BEEN EMPTY. IT’S TIME FOR RENEWING, REFILLING, REVIVING IN JESUS NAME
LORD WE THE SHEPHERDS WHO YOU MANDATED TO CARRY OUT YOUR GOOD NEWS TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH; HAVE COME TO YOU JUST AS WE ARE; EMPTY VESSELS THAT HAVE FAILED YOU IN MANY WAYS IN THE PAST.

RIGHT NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH; WE BIND OUR WILLS TO THE WILL OF GOD; THAT FROM THIS DAY FORTH WE WILL BE CONSTANTLY AWARE OF YOUR WILL AND PURPOSE FOR OUR LIVES. WE BIND OURSELVES TO THE TRUTH OF YOUR WORD AND PROMISE EARNESTLY
FATHER, THAT FROM THIS MOVEMENT WE WILL NOT ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE DECEIVED BY THE MANY SUBTLE DECEPTIONS OF THE WORLD AND THE DEVIL.
LORD JESUS, YOU PROMISE THAT IF WE TRULY BELIEVE IN YOU AND THE WORKS THAT YOU DO, WE SHALL DO ALSO; AND GREATER WORKS THAN THESE SHALL WE DO; BECAUSE YOU WERE GOING UP TO YOUR FATHER TO SIT ON HIS RIGHT HAND.
RIGHT NOW WE BIND OURSELVES TO THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST AND PROMISE THAT NEVER AGAIN WILL WE TAKE IT FOR GRANTED OR MISUSE IT FOR SELFISH PURPOSES. FROM THIS DAY ONWARDS WE WANT TO BE CONSTANTLY AWARE OF ITS MIRACLE WORKING POWER TO RESTORE, HEAL, AND SAVE. WE BIND OURSELVES TO THE MIND OF JESUS CHRIST.; THAT WE WILL BE AWARE OF HOW HE WOULD HAVE US THINK IN EVERY SITUATION WE FACE DAILY. AS WE CRY IN UNITY FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR THIS NEW DAY IN OUR LIVES AND THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE ASSIGN TO US. REFILL US TO OVERFLOW AND HELP US NOT TO REACT OUT OF OUR OWN HUMAN, CASUAL THOUGHTS WHEN SITUATIONS ARISE SUDDENLY. MAY THE HOLY GHOST DIRECT US HOW TO THINK AND ACT LIKE JESUS. WE BIND OUR FEET TO THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT OUR STEPS WILL BE STEADY AND TRUE ALL DAY LONG. WE BIND OURSELVES TO THE WORK OF THE CROSS IN OUR LIVES SO THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO DIE DAILY TO OUR OWN SELFISH DESIRES AND MOTIVATIONS AND BE MORE LIKE HIM.
YOUR WORD SAID THAT SATAN AS LIGHTNING FELL AS HE WAS THROWN OUT OF HEAVEN. WITH THAT SAME POWER; FROM THIS DAY FORTH WE TAKE AUTHORITY AND BIND THE STRONG MAN SATAN AND SPOIL HIS HOULDHOLD AND TO TAKE BY FORCE EVERY BIT OF JOY, PEACE, BLESSING, FREEDOM AND EVERY MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL POSSESSION HE STOLE FROM US. IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST WE TAKE THEM BACK RIGHT NOW. SATAN WE LOOSE YOUR INFLUENCE OVER EVERY PART OF OUR BODIES, SOUL, AND SPIRIT. WE DESTROY, SMASH, AND CLASH EVERY DEVICE YOU MAY TRY TO BRING INTO OUR SPHERE OF INFLUENCE FROM NOW ONWARDS.
OUR HEAVENLY FATHER; HAVE MERCY UPON US FOR WE HAVE SINNED AGAINGST YOU AND YOU ALONE HAVE WE DONE EVIL IN YOUR SIGHT. WE HONESTLY REPENT OF EVERY WRONG DESIRE, ATTITUDE AND PATTERN OF THINKING WE HAVE HAD. FORGIVE US FATHER, FOR HOLDING ONTO WRONG IDEAS, DESIRES, BEHAVIORS, AND HABITS WE HAVE ACQUIRE ALONG THE WAY. WE RENOUNCE AND REJECT THESE EVILS. FATHER WE SUBMIT TO YOUR WILL AND LOOSE FREED THE STRONGHOLDS AROUND THEM THAT WOULD KEEP US FROM BEING COMPLETELY SURRENDERED TO YOUR WILL FOR OUR LIVES. IN TIMES LIKE THESE WE HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT WHAT WE WANT OR WHERE WE ARE GOING BUT FATHER WE SUBMIT TO YOU AND LOOSE ALL SPIRITS OF DOUBTS, FEAR, AND CONFUSION FROM OUR LIVES.
AMEN.
RIGHT NOW WE HOLD HANDS AS REFILLED VESSELS FROM EVERY CONTINENT AROUND THE WORLD AND TAKE BACK THE POWER AND AUTORITY THAT BELONGS TO US AND DECLARE THAT DURING THESE TEN DAYS OF FAST AND PRAYER THERE WILL BE MIGHTY TESTIMONIES AND A REFILLING OF THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
AMEN
TO BE CONTINUED

"This time the mission for you our modern day Elijah/True Shepherd /Minister is to unite the earth before the second coming of Jesus Christ, before the final defeat of the power of darkness. Isn’t that a huge enough task that we must concentrate our effort towards instead of seeking vanities? If we do not prepare the earth for the Lord’s coming we will all perish with the powers of darkness. For God instructs that if is not done He might just as well come and “smite the earth with a curse”
WOW, very powerful and glad you said it......Wish there was another word other than Amen...but AMEN..AMEN...AMEN. Your whole post was right on point especially concerning our collective selfishness and greed that hinders us from going to reconcile the whole earth to the Holy Father ...Are we a collective Jonah not wanting to go to "Ninevah" as instructed by God Himself??? I wonder how many will respond to this, I bet very few....Too busy feeding their coffers, pockets and ego's...

I need to read Part 1.....:) Talk about a real Prophesy for once..instead of the "your harvest is coming" type of drivel that seeks to only itch those ever increasing ears that ultimately robs God of His charge to us. Instead of itching those ears, we need our ears heavy by God's convicting and stirring Word. Go Ye Therefore is not for some, but for ALL!

Brother Liberty,
This is an awesome post. I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see someone who would take the time to write and articulate both the problem and the solution within one post. The many problems of leadership are already on the forefront, now we need them to simply take heed and do what thus saith the Lord. The people will continue to suffer in sin as long as leadership gives them a reason to swim in sin as you have stated.
It seems that the fruit we see in most churches is a reflection of the leadership itself. Most will claim that they cannot control the people, but what is tolerated and accepted will be exploited to the max. Can you imagine if today's church was run like the churches of the time of the Apostles. There would be some folks thrown out of the church including some of these pastors (Especially some of these pastors)
