READ: John 10:1-16
“And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.” – Jeremiah 3:15
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!
God will also use men of God to give you instructions for your life. These instructions help you to become a better person. There are times your pastor will give a command to fast and pray.
It is important to follow these instructions. The Bible teaches that we should obey those that have spiritual authority over us.
“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls…” (Hebrews 13:7, NIV).
Listen to the voice of your shepherd. 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 overall shepherd and He told Peter to look after the sheep. That means that He was delegating the care of His sheep to under-shepherds.
“…and the sheep follow him: FOR THEY KNOW HIS VOICE. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers” (John 10:4,5).
