Your Pastor…Who God Chooses?

I Cor.:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Here we clearly see who God chooses.

I Thes 5: 12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves. 14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly,

Maybe God has sent you to help, not discourage. Criticism only discourages, which leaves the leader struggling even more, and there by making it yet harder for him to do a good job and more likely to make a mistake. At least this way you will have something to be upset about!!! (Sorry about the sarcasm!!!)

Prov. 14: 6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.

Your pastor already knows that he is deficient in many areas. He doesn’t need to be reminded or criticized, but rather helped.

Prov. 14:3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them. 4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

People who won’t clean up after their ox don’t deserve to have one.

If God wanted to he could have ordained highly qualified men rather than the weak and foolish, but he didn’t because the weak are more likely to give God the credit. Read through I Cor. 1 thinking of who God wants to use.
