For every human that has been redeemed through
the resurrection of Christ are anointed and drafted into the commonwealth of
Zion. "Touch not my anointed"
as used in the bible referred to a
particular group of Israelites (Israelis) in the Bible somewhere in the Psalm
of David at a particular time and I believe that is redeemed of God is under
this
anointing so I presume this particular even Ese Walter is anointed and has been
touched if the story were true (my interpretation). Abeg before I go on,
did the Bible say some prophets and pastors will sing this song "On
judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and
cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break
God’s laws.’" Mat 7:22
Permit me to say that we should pray to God to open our eyes of understanding, even the prophet Samuel couldn't spot the chosen or should I say anointed in the house of Jesse, he almost poured the oil of crimson on the wrong brother because of what he saw on the outside (Remember, it's God that anoints not the oil). A lot of our so-called men of God are physically anointed today because religious leaders stayed religious instead of being Christians, they've anointed the tall in place of the called, empowered the fluent instead of the filled and ordained the talented in place of the chosen ones. Saul was called to be the captain of his people but when he failed in the task, another was chosen to take his place... I remember even his son Jonathan became instrumental in the process of deposing Saul... so even when a man is called and he/she cease to serve the purpose of the master, even members of his household will be used to effect the needed change.
Jesus is the highest of priest and the only head of the church and he was touched and done so many harms.. all of that became salvation for us all..let's assume our high priest annulled that rule there when he said "father forgive them for they knoweth not what they are doing"(assumption). We are all brethren and nobody is more than the other before God or specially placed in heaven. Can you remember the number of times Paul used the word brethren even in his letter to the disciples who are suppose to be his spiritual fathers (The Witnesses), this disciples broke bread and drank wine with Jesus. Paul was even prayed for after the Damascus route experience before he could regain his sight by those he later called brethren and sometimes scolded when things weren't so right. Pastors, preachers and our fathers in faith are here to guide and help us grow, but when they go wrong, I think the crowd should do the flogging in accordance with the provisions of1 Tim 5:20.

The household of faith is not built to harbor lies or encourage deceit.
Let me give you a scenario... Jesus called The Synagogue is father's house, can
you please tell me what he used in chasing gamblers and hagglers out of the
synagogue? I know it, it is bulala aka koboko. If we are Christians and we are
suppose to be like Christ and probably do greater things like He said we will
do, I think it is right if we use FANBELT or something stronger to do the job
this time around...It is the right thing to do and believe me, we won't be
troubling the household of faith, we will be giving the kingdom a new breath of
fresh spiritually fulfilling air. Like you rightly said, guilty or not, the
work of God will go on, and in case you are worried about the church, don't try
to think or device a way of helping God, He will take good care of his
church... remember what happened to that man that tried helping to prevent the
Ark of God from falling? I don't know the verse but I remember he was struck
with lightning. If you care, I commented a bit earlier, maybe you can scroll up
and read my earlier comment. I am not here to castigate or condemn but I will
be found only where the truth is said and propagated.
There is no room for being diplomatic when things go wrong, It is blind stupidity to try and introduce the morality "status quo" into this insanity that has become a cancerous canker-worm that is eating deep into Christendom, causing so much decadence and bringing reproach on saints and sinners alike. The same regard and respect model that has thought Nigerians to demand treating a rich thief with care while a common thief is quickly bludgeoned to death. A system that ensures or should i say preach that we accord respect to elders even when they are wrong or doing it wrong for reasons I am yet to read in the Bible (maybe I don't read the Bible that much?) and for this we allow a lot of things to go wrong because we are not suppose to correct some people because they are richer, older or more spiritual ...Hmmmm! "I no holy pass" or "Sabi pass" but everything I've read here as been based on spiritual principles that the Bible teaches, I am yet to see anyone go out of those guidelines even when they are not diplomatic about it so I refuse to go with your flow. Regurgitate and re-digest everything you've read here and please, make no comparison of our analysis, suggestions or opinion, we are all from diverse spiritual background and school of thought. Thank you.
I will mention church but no names. I've had a female colleague that was constantly harassed and offered another level of grace by a RCCG pastor whose wife is a close family friend. I have heard of some supposed men of God held in high esteem various works of life who use everywhere they are as an altar but instead of preaching salvation, they preach this new level of grace to just the girls but encourage the men to continue to hold fast and struggle in the Lord. Imagine a pastors who make it hard for you to say amen when they pray, sometimes I have to convince yourself within your spirit before you say amen, you deafen your ears and create a mental picture of Jesus saying the prayers himself instead of this agents of destruction. I seek grace daily and will continue to pray and intercede in ways I can. The good thing about this situation is that if this men confessed their iniquities yesterday and Jesus was asked today, He won't remember but that doesn't erase the karma+nemesis of what they've done.
I am not here to cast any stone but I am here to call a spade a spade.
Jesus came for the sinners and not the saints.. I enjoy that righteousness that
is of faith and not works and by His grace I won't be caught doing the wrong
flagrantly because grace abound because I am enjoying another level of grace. Please
no use should use cynicism to encourage or propagate lie... I am here to
declare and assert my stand on this matters as I enjoy the blessing inherited
through the works of Christ that has made me a partaker of the commonwealth of
Zion. Mind you, I have attend the church ones during my
visit to Abuja and I have nothing against God's people but If a man is not
shaped for the truth, he should please stay in shape and not bend the word of
God to blend with his or her shape, such person will only end up in flagrant
disgrace.
Let's pray!
Let's pray!
