Eyesalve: Bring Jesus

By | Eyesalve

Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them.” John 8:2

 

Today, it is a common thing for churches to have Saturday night services to accommodate people; especially during the football season so that people can get up Sunday morning and prepare for the game and not have to be distracted with church. There are also a variety of times offered for Sunday mornings, again this accommodates people. Accommodating people is not always wrong. For example a night shift nurse would probably appreciate a Saturday night service versus trying to stay awake during a Sunday morning service. Putting that all aside, if there is one thing that is needed to get people to go to church, even early in the morning, it is to have Jesus there to teach. Not in the physical, but in the preachers and teachers. Not to let anyone off the hook, all believers have the responsibility to bring Jesus in them whenever the saints gather.

Eyesalve: Deeper Knowledge of God

By | Eyesalve

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:” Eph. 4:11-13

 

Ministers are called to perfect, edify and bring saints to a deeper knowledge of God, they are not called to keep the peoples religion going.

Eyesalve: They Will Follow

By | Eyesalve

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:” Jn. 10:27

God’s sheep hear His voice and follow Him. God’s voice is often heard through the mouth of His ministers. When Moses spoke, the people were hearing God speak. When Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel spoke, the voice of God was being heard. Today God has given apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. Again, God is letting His voice be heard. As long as these ministers are speaking for God, the sheep will hear God’s voice and follow Him.
