The Dream
There are going to be some people who will
disagree with this. First I would like to say to
always respect and honor your leader/leaders.
I had a dream where I saw several leaders leading
out many followers. They were teaching the Word
of God and living the Word of God. However, the
followers had thei r eyes on their leaders instead of
God. They depended on their leaders to get them
out of everything. They asked their leaders for
prayers for every situation but did not go to
God themselves.
In the middle of this, there were different leaders teaching the Word of God. All of a sudden,
there was a great extremely loud noise upon the earth. The stars began to fall from the sky which
cause many explosions. Everyone ran with fear in their hearts. The followers began to call out to
their leaders for help, however, the leaders was in the same boat as they were. The leaders was
unable to help them, because they were busy trying to save themselves.
The Word of God says to work out our own salvation and to set our affection on the things above.
Ask yourself this question, "When Jesus comes back, will I be ready?"
We have to get to know God for ourselves. No one can get us into heaven. The leader's job is to be
watchmen over his/her followers and to pray for their souls. The leader's job is the teach the
Word of God as their followers are hearers of the Word. However, it is up to us to become doers
of the Word of God.
No one will face God for you on judgment day. We cannot take anyone with us to plead our case
for us. During that day, it will only be you and God. God is looking for us to get close to HIM.
Does this mean that you do not have to be under leadership? Of course not, it means that it is
okay to ask your leader for prayer, but also make sure you go to God yourself as well. Draw nigh
unto God and he will draw nigh to you
.
James 1:22
"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,
deceiving your own selves."
Philippians 2:12
"Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed,
not as in my presence only, but now much more in
my absence, work out your own salvation with
fear and trembling."
Colossians 3:2
"Set your affection on things above, not things on the earth".
