Today many Christians should stay out of the pulpit

Today many saints should stay out of the pulpit because
They are entering it for the wrong reason—
Jesus is not their real focus—they are harming themselves
They often compete with others—

Often our greatest enemies are other Christians
The cubs of lions are often killed (destroyed) by other lions
Other children of God often challenge other children of God

In the 21st century, this is a major problem since everyone wants to
Be something great with a great Anointing and
Often teamwork is neglected because certain individuals want to
Emphasize that they are closer to God than most people are—
This form of elitism creates a barrier that robs them of there conscience
i.e. they feel that they(or their teaching) cannot be judged

People that live their life on the principle of elitism often go down the wrong road
Paul is an example of this before he met the Lord on the way to Damascus –
And today we have many ministers of the word that fall in to that category

Today saints get jealousy very quickly
They often want to be the major ‘player’ in the church
They often want to be the man or woman with the great anointing
They often want to be the prophet or the great leader

Today many Christians should stay out of the pulpit because
They are entering it for the wrong reason—
Jesus is not their real focus—they are harming themselves
They often compete with others—

The Gospel was never about competition
Jesus is in a class of HIS OWN—
The Gospel is about saving lives
It is not about competing against each other

Today many saints should stay out of the pulpit because
They are entering it for the wrong reason—
Jesus is not their real focus—they are harming themselves

Relevant and timely article.
The church today has become an organization and not a "family"
(brotherhood) and Christians are focused on leadership positions rather than servanthood, as if there is a hierarchy and rank in heaven.

Great truths in this. But, God is still on the Throne, and He will remember His own...One day, and that day is soon, the sheep will be seperated from the goats, and the weeds from the good plants....God's blessings!...Sorry for the lack of comments lately. Being a double care-giver takes a lot of my time and I am not on the computer so much...Helen
