Members And Pastors Relationship:
God knows our beginning and ending, he knows our needs per time and he knows our expected end. Isaiah 46:9-10 , Jeremiah 29:11,
And he said, "I will give u pastors according to my heart,he will feed u with words....,which will result to increase ( all round prosperity) Jeremiah 3:15-16. But to see and benefit from these blessings you must :
1.. Receive the Minister/pst. He that receive d pst receive God that sent him nd wil b entitled 2d blessns God is sending through him. Matthew 10:40-41, Luke 8:40 They received Jesus nd they got d blessns he came with..../ Luke 8:41-56,
2... Believe in d Lord believe also in d Pst. God establish u wen u believ in Him but Him wl prosper u wen u believ in His prophet . 2 chronicles 20:20, Hosea 12:13, God confirms the declaration/ blessings of d prophet whom u received nd believed.( Isaiah 44:26).
CAUSAUION: don't be carried away with over familiarity. Some pst can be Jovial or close to d members,but always kn ur boundaries as a member.bcs it cn lead to negleggence,Wich wil abort d blessns, in church there are levels ,nd d pst by election of grace occupied d highierst level nd down to d members nd bible say,. d less is blessed of d higher. (Hebrew 7:7), Jesus couldn't do anything bc dey received him nt ( Mark 6:1-6) dy were 2farmiliar to Him nd neglected Him ( Mark 6:3). U may be richer or more learned than the pst,but u owe him a respect even as he owes you nd every other members respect. Naaman is a captain nd great man . But he has to humble himself b4 Elisha 4 God to heal him ( 2kings 5:1/ verse 10-14) , A king sent his captain to bring Elijah to him ,d first and d second went with their arrogance nd power due to their position and dey lost their life . ( 2kings 1:9-12) but d third captain came nd humbled himself, drop his title nd position before Elijah nd his life and that of his men were spared.
