“Feed My sheep” are the words that Jesus proclaimed to Peter, before He left this earth. Peter was one of Jesus’ disciples. Peter revealed who he was throughout his walk with Jesus. He was a man of courage. Jesus knew His followers would need constant feeding of His Word in order to live the Christian life. The same words Jesus spoke to Peter, He is saying to those He has called to carry His Word today. Are you one who Jesus chosen to run with His’ Word? The time is crucial.
The Body of Christ is at a point whereby the Holy Spirit is not welcome. In far too many church services, there is no speaking of the Holy Spirit. “Church” – without the Holy Spirit – it is not the Church Jesus ordained to bring forth fruit. You cannot bring forth fruit apart from Jesus in the midst.
The seven candles represent Jesus in the midst of His church. He is the seventh candle that stands in the middle. That means He is in the midst of us, if you allow Him to stand. There is not any resilience in living for Jesus among far too many Christians. God’s Word has a bountiful saving power in it, and it will compel you to respond – to take action for Jesus as opposed to showing a lack of knowledge of how to live for Him. My people perish for lack of knowledge, says the Lord, [Hosea 4:6].
God holds a pastor responsible for teaching His people the Word of God. You cannot know the way unless you are taught what the Word of God says. God called the Five-Fold Ministry in place to build the Body of Christ. [Ephesians 4:11-13] Are you one who builds? www.thealmightyeyes.com
