NEVER SATISFIED?
John came neither eating nor drinking,and people say,There's a demon in him!The son of man came eating and drinking,and people say,Look at Him!He's a glutton and a drunk,a friend of tax collectors and sinners!Yet,wisdom is proved right by it's actions.{MATTHEW CHAPTER 11:VERSE 18}
This is the way man sees things. Everywhere in life. Your apparent friends one day,then a sudden switch and your Allies are now your attackers.Welcome to the real world.Even Jesus was confronted by this insanity of man.The plain truth here,is that regardless of our efforts,there will be opposition.Stand for Christ,your opposed,do not speak up,your opposed.Another example,preachers preaching the church needs workers,then workers appear,then they are attacked from behind by people who are jealous and power thirsty.Yes in the little and huge churches.And before unbelievers get real excited,yes this same thing goes on daily in the business world.In social clubs etc.I believe this is one of the very first things all humans learn as their brains,and opinions develop growing up.
I learned how to handle this as a young leader and manager of business and people. I learned about it earlier.As a business man i realized that i had to do what i felt was fair and right,regardless of the opposition.Yet it made me think long and hard about what to do in any single situation.Human nature is to capitulate when under fire from opposition! That's why to this day, i say most people are not leaders.Most are followers.
I have spoken mostly about the world of business. Yet this principle must be looked at from the eyes of the Lord himself.If you expect to make everyone your friend as you serve in church,then your in for a big surprise.Everything we set out to do in church,should be with whats profitable to the gospel.Do not compromise Gods word, let him lead you.When i speak of profitable, i mean what lends power to the edifying of the church body.Christ first,church body second.Be at peace with one another.Encourage your pastors and teachers and deacons,and trustees,and all church staff and members to love one another.Tell your teachers and preachers to Remember this 18th verse of Matthew chapter 11. People are always going to oppose.Let the Lord lead. When you have ideas,people will rebel.But do not be petty and sulk.The lord knows your motives and your heart. Stand your ground,and be confident in the Lord. Read this scripture again! You see what the creator of all life,and the redeemer of mans soul has said about it. If you cannot stand the heat,then you WILL get out of the kitchen.Do not do that. Mans very soul is at stake.ISAIAH CHAPTER 5:VERSE 14-24) Hell enlarges herself daily.a PRAYER:Dear Heavenly Father,give us courage,the battle is yours ,we are just the messenger.In Jesus name we pray....AMEN.Thanks very much for reading my blogs.
