Tent Maker reference is always pointed to Apostle Paul earning to living while in ministry. Did we truly understand and go deeper into this details chapter about Tent-Maker in the bible content thus describing what is part of the purpose that the Lord reveal through us.
The basis of this illustration is about freedom. By nurturing and cultivating liberty both within our soul and spiritual essence within us. Yes, many are called to serve but along the way there is lot combustion of principality and also many hidden interpretation within the apostasy of Christianity that at time this love of Christ being used to oppress and abuse each other in the ministry, resulting of many salvaging, suppression and contradiction in the Lord’s direction and God purpose was diverted. Instead of using our differences as creativity tools and ignite motivation for the people, many used to exert their influence and swindle it as a mean of prophetic direction from the Lord Himself.
Apostle Paul in his letters that he has written to many churches during his time has also experiences similar worldly exercise and conviction. This similar action also prophesized by our Lord Jesus Christ before Paul time.
This happening, are mostly at the level of hierarchy of authority within the said organization in the church. Causing lot of commotion in the interpretation of traditions and rules of men at time may stumble block amongst us so cruelly at time some of us began to stray away as a result of such a feud? Is this we as elect in the elite should portrait?
So to stop that negative purpose and to build a same conviction, the mere interpretation of men in their own laws and discerning has to be strictly strips away looking into the purpose of God, His word to words and scripture scrutiny it to the most detail laying the greatest commandment to the least and the laws of the new testament to be spiritually fulfill in the highest decision. Deep conversion into the Spirit filled is of most important as this will govern pure loyalty and allegiance to our Lord Jesus Christ himself.
One of the reason why many Christian serving in Lord’s ministry choose to be free is to leaves as a Tent-Maker is to be unbound from this heart-ache sickening men’s control and management of the church privy against attack to our personal liberty wanting to control and enhance their dominance of their principal influence into one another in our life. Even to that extent to control which division and section lies within our skill and talent to serve the Lord in His house.
There is even a strong connotation if you are not member of the church you are not have this privileges to serve God. Because to be a member is to work into the ways of men of forcing a person to pay due and serving to meet the condition of men first before you can have the “privilege” to serve our God. A large some church leaders and elects; may try to justify this “privilege” condition by quoting as God’s authority in the Pauline epistle – so said as truth so that the leaders authority will never be challenged.
That is why some has chosen to live, teach and share the gospel with their own working capability while serving the ministry of the Lord in another responsibility. Work to support oneself along the ministry of God. This has set us to go back to those early Christian life with taintless in their faith and conviction in God. Not only this freedom was felt but it a discipline that has called unto us to set other free in that similar manner without the oppression of this world.
I observed many Pastor who has been serving in the ministry that have a different opinion and principality with their fellow team or senior pastor being politically ooze out from the church because of miss-communication and the direction of the church is not clear. Somewhere also being asked to leaves not realizing that there is not about leadership management as a reflection but rather the love of God is not apply within a clarity of experience and conviction of being a good shepherd.
There is many out there as foretold by our Lord Jesus Christ a “generation of vipers” not only being seeing to believe but trying to justify the cause of the Lord by championing for their own on the other mean for their personal accountability. This Lord has also give a warning that he will even deny them of their work in God. In summary this very elect only build the affairs of their pocket rather than the spiritual building that God has vested as a responsible to them.
In the end they will accountable their soul for the oppression to our Lord Himself as being the superior and judge to His ministry.

Christmas is not about once a year celebration. It is also not about a yearly break from work to spend time with family. It is not about the sharing and caring season, but it is about a single year and moment of Jubilee that has been foretold those day and fulfilling of prophecy by action of sacrifice within Him, the Messiah to release the freedom and setting the liberty within us free from the clutches of the evil principalities and power of darkness that harp us on daily basis to bring and tempt us into bondages.
