Have you ever experience in your congregation, your leader, elder and even Pastor that cannot be connected? If yes, then the next step is to observes and relates to whom that they have always kindred and associates themselves within the vastness of the assembly.
Through fine observation and study you will notice a series of behavior patterns and cognitive associations to the person and sex that they normally acquaintance with. This will also drive a conclusion and data to whom and person that our leader will link to.
If you notice that this manner is of recurrent and rampaging you are most of the time being stage after by those delegated sub-leader that have given responsibility to mend after Pastor’s flock. A distortion of our elder has been influence and blend into the principle of commercialize in Christianity.
Take note that if you unable to reach your Pastor and have:
- To queue in for a phantom expectation time to drink and fellowship,
- Unable to accommodate his time resource with you more than just expected,
- Always brushing you off with the excuse of busy and unavailability,
- Does not visit your home, well-being and connect this brotherly Christian relationship,
- More concentrate on the “church affair” rather that you as an important individual,
- Project church as essential ‘materialization purpose’ to reach out to the community and need ‘monetary sustenance’ to operate.
- When you have an emergency and he has to make arrangement for an appointment to meet up,
- Stress more of acceptance of offering rather that freely giving in return,
- Your spiritual opinion are suggestion rather than sharing to God purpose and will for you,
- He distance himself because you are not a member to that church community,
- Did not trust mostly and believe in your conviction and faith,
- He keep quiet didn’t reciprocal relationship in all the sms/email opinion you sent to him,
- Have to respect him as an elder and leader to that governing church authority,
- Making use of you only for voluntary work and helping him where nobody wants to assist.
- He steal on your loyalty for himself and church rather than in the principles and decree of the God allegiance,
- Call you only when you are related to church functions and activities,
- And e.t.c.
You will also realize that even from that line up of this control and governing all will be obligatory starting from the top down to very down in this commercialize concept in managing a church affairs. Rather that sustaining the church orientation and survival based on the words of God and love towards mankind, many have resort to sustain the commercial value of that church existence in commerce principles and trade participations.
Exploitation of the sheep and community is damagingly taking account of each department financial statement as the sole contribution and area center of attention rather than focusing on the motive of spiritual growth and anointing entity of that delight person salvation. Number count instruction and attendance is the preeminence of great consequence. This has subversive and contravening the rules of the Lord Jesus Christ by forsaking those one person at the expense of affluent society and membership. These have placed those ministers to exploit financial gain from the brand name of Christianity.
The more they exploit, the community-God people will suffer dryness in their spiritual growth and thus drawn out the life breath of the Spirit of God from those anointing person that Lord Jesus Christ spread towards the diversity of gifts, talents and activities yield. Cronyism and nepotism will flaunt widely within this church community and approval to serve and service to God will have to be determined and fancy of those relation caretaker and norm of that governing society. You will only be accepted when you meet those standard, way and directive of their purpose.
They have place themselves on the higher ground liken associates to Moses the rebuke that Jesus Christ stress on those corruptible Pharisee and leader of the laws that wind up those Judaism in the purpose of so called God’s directive and commandment.
“Why are you still in the ‘church’?” The still diminutive and gentle voice pose. I believe you need to seek God boldness and instruction for his expectations venture in your future undertaking to His will!
His duty is to guide and direct your forthcoming path. . . .
