Take The Evil Man Out Of The Pulpit 

Friday 31st October 

Text: 2 Timothy 4: 14 - 15 

Key verse: Exodus 18: 21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

The scripture reveals that there are categories of sinners whose mouths must be stopped. This refers to evil speakers; people who do not have the truth but are always contrary. If you give them a message to preach, they will preach their errors. Do not give such people message again. Their mouths must be stopped. Do not appoint them as leaders. Do not appoint a leader because of his dignity. His educational attainment or his charitable life. No, do not do that. Appoint leaders who have the truth with them. You might have even seen that a person has no truth and is not also willing to learn, do not give him the pulpit, but remove it from him.

Many years ago in Deeper Life Bible Church, somebody was given a message to preach in a conference. As he was talking, they noticed that the man had gone off from scriptural truth before the great congregation. What would they do? They had to go to the brother in charge of the generator to put off the light. As the man continued speaking, he realized that the microphone was not responding again. Then he was told to excuse himself from the pulpit. This was to protect the church. To protect the truth. Take the evil man out of the pulpit. Take the erroneous man out of the pulpit. Take the contrary man out of the pulpit to preserve the flock of God.

Apostle Paul announced the names of apostate ministers to members to beware of them. When the Lord told HOREMOW to call out the names of backslidden ministers, people began to say, “Why do you judge them?” God said, “Call their names that others should beware of them”. Some will say, “Do not judge.” The Bible says that as a Christian, I should judge those who claim to be Christians. The Lord said the church of Ephesus had done well because they proved those who said they were apostles but were not? They judged them and found them liars. People who do not know scriptures say that we should not call their names. Do I not judge them who say they are Christians to know whether they are really Christians or not? 

Thought for the day: God has given us the right to judge righteously. 

Song for the day: Stand up, stand up for Jesus

Bible reading for the day: Luke 23-24
