- It
is easy to feel insignificant and weak. It is a lie.
The Kingdom of Heaven is one in
which each individual was created to reveal the Creator.
In today's world, with all the
fuss over Christian celebrities, it is tempting to compare oneself
with those who seem to be so influential and visible.
But according to God's Word, the
deep and powerful things happen in the recesses of a man's heart
when he submits to the Lord. These things happen in the private
prayer closet, and although they are seen and broadcast in heaven,
they are private on earth.
It is often without even meaning
to that believers try to emulate those who are held up as Christian
stars. This is the lethal and destructive impact of television
on today's Body of Christ.
Nevertheless, those who are constant
in the Word and in prayer are not taken in, and are usually doing
all that is possible to avoid any semblance of the celebrity
syndrome.
A couple of years ago, a
very well-known Christian speaker wrote to me and said, "Please
pray for me. As notoriety expands, so do the temptations in increasing
ratios.".
If the preaching has no Cross,
turn it off, and turn away from the teaching. It is false.
