“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or
else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his
fruit’” (Matt:12-33)
Any man that is in authority
that lacks the fear of God is of danger to the populace. Going by the above
scripture we have an obligation to such persons to lead them to Christ. There
are some of us who have those in authority, friends, relations, spouses, etc.
Ensure you pray and lead them to Christ because, as you make a tree the fruit will
also become good.
You may not believe this long
time ago that it is possible to become a General Oversee or a District Overseer
without even knowing Christ. I once preached in a church on what it means to be
born again, after which I make an alter call. The Pastor approached the alter,
followed by everyone else. Surprised, I said, Sir, this is not an alter call
for transfer of the anointing or power” He replied, “Now that you have
explained what it is to be born-again, I have realized the need to return to
the alter” Thank God for the people who are honest, who are ready to amend
their ways when they realize they have missed it. Even today many ministers wll
need to pay a visit to the Cross of Calvary, because this is an era of
holiness. How can you be Holy if you are not born – again? Some people gave
their lives to Christ but presently they have withdrawn their commitment to
Him. Are you still saved? To Lie is the easiest sin for some ministers of God
and their wives but they have forgotten that just one lie was enough to drown a
soul in eternal hell. One lie a couple told in Acts 5 led to their untimely
death. If you are a bona fide minister of God, your mouth will feel very heavy
if you want to lie. But if you lie without something picking you, it shows that
your heart is already hardening. Run to the Cross and begin again. Some people
think they are still running the race but they have lost their bearing.
Finally examine yourselves, whether ye be in the
faith: prove your own selves, know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus
Christ is in you, except ye be reprobate. (2Corinthians 13:5)
