God
has the audacity to use men and woman for His different purposes.
From the beginning of time up to the eternity God will continue to
use His ordained men and women for the cause of the kingdom of God.
God
will never come here on earth and lead the congregation, heal the
sick, preach the word and perform miracles but He does this through
men and women as His vessels. This is why God has equipped His church
with pastors, teachers, evangelists, apostles and prophets.
There
are dangerous mistakes that people do, they gossip, openly oppose men
and women of God. They are persecuted everyday through the careless
speaking of people. What people must know is that when they speak bad
things about the men and women of God, they attract the wrath of God.
The
bible is rich with such examples of how God dealt with those that
rose up and spoke against the men of God. I will draw these examples
in the chronological order commencing for the Old Testament up to the
New Testament. This can be done because many people believe that God
used to deal harshly with people in the Old Testament. They say that
the New Testament generation is the generation of grace. But watch
and see as facts offload themselves.
When
Miriam and Aaron spoke against their brother Moses, Miriam was
plagued with leprosy (Numbers 12: 9-10). When the people of Israel
spoke against God and Moses in Numbers 21:5-6, God sent fiery
serpents to chastise them for their sin. Another good example is that
of Korah and over 250 others who spoke against Moses and Aaron in Numbers 16: 2-3. God did a fiery thing, He allowed the earth to
swallow Korah and others up.
In II Kings 2: 22-24 the bible tells us that when children mocked Elisha
the prophet, God allowed two female bears to destroy 42 of the
mockers. History tells us that Pontius Pilate, who ordered Jesus’
death, died by suicide.
Judas
Iscariot turned against Jesus became so miserable about what he had
done against Jesus and he hanged himself on a tree (Mathew 27:5). The
thief that perished on the cross with Christ spoke against Jesus did
not get saved and go to heaven.
This
is evident that whoever rise against any man of God- be it a pastor,
teacher, an evangelist, an apostle and above all a prophet is going
to be dealt with by God. Pay attention on what you say about the
anointed men of God!
