Why are people always quarrelling among themselves?
Why are they often debating on which is the best?
Why are they each sect proud in their respective ways?
They are always boasting, “My church is the best”.
Boasting, boasting and boasting, is all you hear from them.
Son of man,
tell them that many churches that claim to be the best,
are indeed among the worst.
The Catholics call the fathers reverend.
The Anglicans regard their teachers and deacons as ministers of God.
The Pentecostals say that only their pastors are the true ministers of God.
And so on, and so on and so on.
Son of man,
they are deceiving themselves.
They are causing division where there is no division.
They are discriminating.
And those who discriminate, do not, and cannot, enter the kingdom of heaven.
So, who are the true ministers of God?
They are any person who has been so destined as a minister of God, by God,
and sent to the world to minister to the children of men.
They are the true ministers of God,
whether they are ordained or not.
whether they are rich or poor.
And whether they are educated or not.
They are even so, whether they are recognized by the society or not.
The Bible has said it all:
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew , He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. Romans 8:28-30
