Title

Honoring God’s Man

Scripture
This is the twenty-third year in which the word of the Lord has come to me but you have not listened.
(Jeremiah 25:3)
Devotional
Jeremiah was celebrating his twenty-third year in the ministry. Instead of being able to rejoice with the people, he was broken-hearted because of their unbelief. How sad that here was one of Israel’s greatest prophets and none would listen to him. I am sure that the people had many excuses. He preached too long. His sermons were boring. He was not relevant to the times. The list, I am sure, was extensive. Nevertheless, he was God’s man. God never promised to send an entertaining man to teach and minister to His people. He said that He would give them shepherds according to His heart who would feed them with knowledge and understanding. It is the wise man who listens to his pastor and receives instruction in knowledge and understanding. Therefore, honor your shepherd by having an ear to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to the church through him. He is God’s man.

I believe that was an awesome lesson. There have been different men who had minister to our church. But it is convicting when the holy spirit is working through them. And I feel they need to be adknowledge. This lesson was great.

I once made a comment to a pastor that it must be hard to lead the church with so much apathy out there. Tough to be at the top of the pyramid, so to speak. He said, "Yes, but the difference is, the pyramid is upside down, and we're pushing from the bottom." It was a great point as to the serving of ministry.

May God help me to have an ear to hear and a heart to respond. God, please grant me the grace to always hear my pastor and honor him by submitting to his authority. Jesus, please help me to never "out grow" being ministered to. Please Lord, let it be an easy task for my pastor, or anyone for that matter, to speak into my life. Let me honor You, by honoring Your man. In Jesus name, amen.

Do you wish to honor your pastor? Sit in the front row and listen. Listen with an ear that leans toward obedience to the Word of the Lord. A smile, a nod and a hearty amen will serve well.

There is both vertical and horizontal alignment in the church; recognize them.
