Stupidity

There are words I very rarely use because they are very strong. One such word is stupid.

But allow me to use it today on ministers, because I am one

Have you heard ministers defending their anointing and calling?

How many times do we hear them saying, ‘touch not mine anointed’?

What about, ‘believe the prophet’?

Many ministers love being treated special and very different from ‘sheep’.

They love special seats. They love special garb. They love special greetings and giftings.

In short there is nothing ordinary with them when they are accessing privileges.

But let them be caught in sin.

I am a man like you. I have feeling just like yours. I am not special because I can sin just like you.

Incidentally, if some sinner was brought to them prior to his sin being found out, the condemnation that issued from their office was without mercy, especially if it was of some little loss to him or his. Patmos could have been the destination of the banishment if he knew where it is and it could have been affordable.

Choose what you want. It is stupidity to change rules when they stop favoring you.

You need to realize that Moses’ was one small infraction. But because of his anointing that simple sin meant that he would not cross over. David’s sin meant judgment for his posterity because of his anointing.

Never in the scriptures do you see a prophet, or leader for that nature, claim commonality to defend himself. The only thing we see is the example of the incarnation when Christ took our nature.

And that is simply for the purposes of identifying with us and understanding us. And that is the same with us as concerns our anointing.

We do not share any yardstick. Understanding the ones we minister to is not the same as being like them. The standard for our judgment is way higher than theirs like I have mentioned with Moses and David. And James 3:1 says the same thing.

It is thus stupidity to tell people not to touch the anointed and at the same time infer the anointing makes no difference in your life. It could actually be blasphemy.

And for you being led, stop also the stupidity of allowing the ‘anointed’ conveniently leave his anointing when he wants to wallow in the comforts of this temporal life. Call him to the Biblical standard of that anointing and leave him if he doesn’t exemplify a holy life, a life worthy of emulation.

Let me leave it here hoping someone has learnt something.

God bless you.
