No sentimental approach to God. Stop playing M.O.G.-ism (Clergy-ism)
Because more of the ways of God have been expounded to you more, you fall into the temptation of calling God as though He is for you only. Because you have advantaged above others, don’t play the MOG (Man of God)! Don’t say “na we dey there, no other again”. Don’t speak like God is caged in your suit that anyone who wants to see God must consult you first. Don’t play clergyism and make others tremble before you.
Jesus says when ye pray “say Our Father…”. It’s not a crime to call God your Father, but always make the people know he is our Father. Jesus says “I ascend to my Father, your Father…” you were a laity when He liked you and made you a clergy, hence He likes the laity as much.
Don’t talk as if there are some secrets God cannot make known to others except they be clergymen. Our leaders should be reverenced, and they should present themselves humbly too.
Today the term “man of God” has been diverted for unbiblical meanings. NT uses it just twice. It says
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 1Tim 6:11
All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the MAN OF GOD may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2Tim 3:16-17
This implies any man that should be perfect and thoroughly furnished unto all good works by the receipt of instruction, correction, reproof and indoctrination from the scriptures is the MAN OF GOD. Not as though God preferentially hand-picked some men and called them “special” unto Him.
God is goooooooooooooood!!!!!!!! And fair! And just! Alleluia!
