Those who teach will be judge with greater strictness by Diane Solver

1 “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. 2 For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body.” 1 James 3:1-2

Many want to be teachers and leaders of the church. In the Bible, it is said that teachers will be judged strictly. Even we have the sincere desire to become a teacher or a leader, and the desire to lead the lost, if we are not appointed by God; we are not fit to be teachers or leaders.

While praying, Daddy God had told me that the reason why there were many differences of beliefs in His church is because many do not preach the pure unadulterated Word of God. This is also the reason why many are spiritually sick in our church and many were not able to overcome and live in holiness. Many teachers or leaders are corrupting and watering down the gospel for the sake of pleasing the church members. It breaks the heart of Daddy God. In a vision He had showed me a shepherd who is leading a flock in a valley where there was no enough grass to eat. And the sheep were all malnourished. This is the condition of many churches today.

“3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,” 2 Timothy 4:3

1 "But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.” 2 Peter 2:1

The teachers or leaders of the church must always be careful in preaching God’s Word. Their wisdom must not just come from what they have learned from theology schools but from God. Daddy God said that if we corrupt the gospel the saving power of it would be weaken and it will result to more unsaved souls. Many try compromise, but if we are a true Christian, we should never do this for we must fear the Lord. The teachers or leaders must preach 100% of God’s Word even many will view it negatively. Many are preaching the positive aspects only. They only preach God’s mercy and God’s wonderful promises. They avoid preaching the cost of being a true Christian and what it is like to carry the cross.

God’s Word is like a sword, and it will cause pain to the carnal men. It will show man exactly what he is. It will cut off the things which are evil. We are all like a tree and Daddy God is cutting the diseased part so that we may grow and bear more fruits.

“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

“and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:4-5

The teachers or leaders should preach the pure Word of God out of pure motives and with all humility. Many want to gain praise from men than to gain praise from God. Those who preach should do it for the glory of God and not for their glory. Many want to be popular and they teach things that tend to please everyone.

The teacher or leader with a divine wisdom from God is the one who is living a good life and is following the teaching and commandments of Jesus. That person will not boast of his wisdom. Many of the teachers and leaders of today are attacking each other and are often defensive. They wanted to prove that they are the one who’s right and they don’t want to be corrected. If we don’t want to be corrected by others, how can we be corrected by God?

“if you are sure that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth--- 21 you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal? 22 You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law.” Romans 2:19-23

 There is a greater judgment that is coming for all those who does not preach the pure Word of God. Daddy God will require from them the blood of those sheep that have been torn and scattered. Those appointed by God should tend, care for, and provide spiritual food for God’s people. Jesus loves His flocks and the appointed shepherd must love the flock as well. If they say that they love Jesus, then they must show it by feeding His lambs and His sheep.

“So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: 2 shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; 3 not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.” 1 Peter 5:1-4



ALL GLORY TO GOD!
