READ : Psalm 119:97-104
“And I will give you pastors according to my heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.” – Jeremiah 3:15
God will minister His Word through pastors and shepherds. That is why it is important to have a good church and a pastor who teaches the Word of God. When the Word of God is preached, Christians will know and understand what is happening in their lives. In the last days, God is giving pastors who will feed us with knowledge and understanding. Receive the knowledge and understanding that God is giving you through your pastors now!
Apart from knowledge and understanding, God will use a man of God to give instructions to Christians. These instructions help us to become better people in life. There are times your pastor will give a commandment to fast and pray. It is important to follow these instructions. If you do not obey the simple instructions in the Word, do you think that God is going to give you a greater instruction? He that is faithful in little is faithful in much. The Bible teaches that we should obey those that have spiritual authority over us (Hebrews 13:17).
Church members must listen to the voice of their shepherds (John 10:4-5). God has delegated the destiny of the sheep to the shepherd. God will bless your life and lead you through the voice of your shepherd. Jesus is the good shepherd and He told Peter to look after the sheep. That means that He was delegating the care of His sheep to under-shepherds. Dear pastors, we have an awesome responsibility and we can only do it by staying with the Word.
