Topic : SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS
Isaiah 56:10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
Isaiah 56:11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
As I was coming from somewhere in the night , I enter a bus that would take me to another bus stop, the bus looked nice and preferable, so I quickly jumped into it because there were many people at the bus stop .
Many people entered the bus , but as we were going, I discovered that the bus doesn’t have light, the bus entered into many pit on the way.
People shouted on the driver “why are doing this, why do you bring this kind of bus to the road, the bus that doesn’t have full light “
As the driver stumbled into another pit, the Lord spoke to me “Many Ministers are like this, they are spiritually blind ,they stumbled into many pit of destruction because they can not see, they misled and endangered the souls that are under them”
Many ministers has forgotten that they are a watchman , to watch over the souls that are under your care, to watch over them carefully and zealously because there is a wolf who goes about looking for a prey to devour.
So how can you watch when you are spiritually blind ?
How can you Preach the word of God expositorily when you yourself are spiritually blind to the exposition of the word of God.
The way many ministers handle the word of God this day is a very lamentable tragedy, the word of God is handled carelessly and ignorantly , then presented to the people of God with truth mixed with lie and error, like a stupid mother who mixed both rice and sand together in the same plate.
I once met a pastor who said that “Hello” is a demon name, that someone had a revelation that those who are saying hello are going to hell “ imagine what what kind of sermons the pastor will be preaching to his congregation .
Have you forgotten that those under You have a soul that must be saved ? Why is it that you lack a real understanding of the scripture and yet you are less bothered, and you are giving the Bible your own interpretation, have you forgotten that the Bible say in “”2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.”
See if any of them is lost because of your lack of proper interpretation and exposition of the word of God, you will be held responsible for it “His soul will I required from your hand “”
The word of God can not be interpreted carnally, they are inspiration of the Holy Spirit, so only those who are Carrier and possessor of the Holy Spirit, only those who are operating under the influence of the Holy Spirit can preach it expositorily.
Many believers and even so called ministers has replaced the word of God for a Revelation , such people are living a confused life, spiritually blind, and they stumbled into many error that will damage their souls.
Deception kills, it mislead, it destroy, only the truth can save, no amount of deception can saved no matter how well packaged they may be.
Jesus Christ told me last week that there are different types of false prophets and they all are going to the same Hell.
1 . PREACHERS THAT ADD TO THE TRUTH. i. e EXAGGERATE IT
2 . PREACHER THAT SUBTRACT FROM THE TRUTH.
3 . PREACHER WHO DOESN’T PREACH THE TRUTH AT ALL.
There are Many categories of this preachers in this present day, they are blind to see their own destruction for making the grace of God of no effect.
Sirs you are performing miracles doesn’t mean you are spiritually OK, examine your life now, is your spiritual eyes opened or blind ?
As a minister’s of God, any teaching you heard, any portion of the Bible that you can’t understand, go to God in prayer, pray for the Holy Ghost to open your eyes to the truth, because they bible says in St. John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
When a man is spiritually blind :
He will believe everyone is a true pastor and that there is no false pastor.
He will believe every sermons is true and none is false.
He will believe every Revelation is revealed by God and none is satanic manipulation.
He will believe every church is true and none is synagogue of Satan.
He will believe every ministers are right even if what they said can not be found in the Bible and that everything ministers says are inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
He will believe every voice comes from God and none comes from Satan and that we don’t need to test the spirit.
He will believe we can’t live a holy life, we can continue in sin and that the grace of God will continue to be abound.
He doesn’t see His need of grace, but he see more of carnal works and keeping a religious ceremony.
He doesn’t see Himself as a backslider even when He has gone back to the evil things he has left behind.
He sees every compromise as profitable and every worldliness as free offer of grace.
When a man is spiritually blind he will justify , spread and support error.
Isaiah 56:10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
if your pastor is preaching erroneous teaching to you and you are living by it, he is that driver that is driving you to bottomless pit in the lake of fire .
May the Lord open the eyes of your understanding to understand this, for the words that are written are spirit, only those who are of the spirit will understand.
