The God Syndrome

Yesterday the doctor looked at the beautiful child born with an extra chromosome…..

Doc told us that the child should not be here and we had no clue what would be happening in the next few days…

Then the good doctor offered revelation….

God is in control of this one and we will just have to wait and see what he chooses to do….

Bingo for the doctor…

Too many times I have observed physicians try to play God….

I’ve watched preachers do it too….

I had to learn a long time ago that I am not God and only God can handle some things…..

I had to be delivered from the God Syndrome….

Later in the day yesterday I listened and observed another young minister and his wife as they suffer with the symptoms of this spiritual disorder…..

I watched a pastor pronounce the blessings of God upon a sinful relationship that God could never bless….

I observed an aspiring minister think he was able to work miracles with church members who had chosen to become unsubmitted and refuse pastoral counsel…..

I have marveled when ministers excused and condoned sin….

I have been amazed when observing ministers strive to be lords over God’s heritage…

I have shaken my head in amazement as I observed ministers play God with people’s lives…

Those desiring ministry must be delivered of the God Syndrome…..

The nature of an Apostolic ministry places a Man of God in the position of having to speak for the Lord….

Sadly we get caught up in ourselves and speak for ourselves and declare it the Word of God…..

How can God bless what he cursed in his word?

And one more word on the subject…..

Too many ministry families have sat at home waiting on Dad to get over his self appointed God Syndrome and wish they got a smidgeon of the attention from Dad that the rest of the world gets…..

Been a many a PK lost because Dad thought he had to be God……

Blogger friend…..

May I humbly suggest that you measure yourself and actions against the Word of God….

Before you make decisions concerning someone’s life ask what does the Word of God say…..

And before you place your family on the sacrificial altar of ministry and watch them be consumed with your symptoms……

Please remember you are not God….

Do not play God…..

Instead…..

Humble yourself and allow Him to take away the symptoms….

And submit yourself to His will and look at yourself the way He does….

Whatever you do….

Do not allow yourself to be consumed with the God Syndrome…..

For the man who is seized with the God Syndrome more times than not loses his life and ministry to the same sins he played God with….

Blessings…
