Remember you trumpeted and publicly declared: "I will accept and give my 100% support to whom God appointed as leader to take charge."
But now ... you reneged on your words and blew up everything.
As they say, a man is only as good as his words.
Words are very powerful. Lifetime friendships have been forged by goodwill, and destroyed by irresponsible words.
What Is Protocol?
The word "protocol" comes from two Greek words meaning "first" and "glue" and originally referred to the first page of a legal document to summarize its contents.
The priest was punctilious and meticulous in his routine checks on the outer courtyard, the inner courtyard, the Holy of Holies, the brazen altar, the table of shewbread, the altar of incense and so on.
One mistake, he would be 'dragged out by a rope'.
Protocol is a form of worship: an honor, praise and reverence.
God's Protocol: A System of Authority
God's appointment is by authorization. So, when God pointed to Prophet Samuel it was David, not his other brothers, was the one He had picked. Prophet Samuel had to obey inspite of the protests from the other siblings.
It was the Father through His prophet and beloved vessel, appointed the Elder with specific words and instructions: "Be Strong. Do God's Will."
It was God who picked the Elder as His choice. And this was done in accordance to protocol - the established code of procedure of God.
Only those who has the law written in their hearts will be able to keep God's protocol.Only those who honor the beloved vessel will honor the Father's appointment.
Only those who stand with God will accept God's choice - and follow God's specific program by the appointed Elder.
God's Protocol: One Man Principle
It's always good to remember God's protocol: He will only speak or work through the appointed leader - One Man Principle.
It's heartening to know that God never disappoint us by His choice of appointment.
So, let's observe God's protocol by giving our undivided support to uphold His appointed Elder - to fulfill God's mandate. Surely, you would not want to see the Elder, like the priest, be 'dragged out by a rope.'
Another Goat - A Different Name or Specie?
Like the Israelites, delivered from captivity after 430 years of bondage in Egypt, still long for the onions and garlic.
People forgets easily. They were delivered from darkness - still wants to go back to the dark knowledge and dark practices.There're still many Goat lovers around. They spoke against the evil of the Thin Goat but love kissing it all over. You're witnessing hypocrisies of the highest order.
One must not misplace the trust of the young innocent souls who look up to you for spiritual needs. Words and actions must be carefully dispensed that will not stumble others.
A true Christian will not refuse or reject God's appointed leader. He ought to support and not speak idle words or slander the leader.
Surely, you cannot self-proclaim as a teacher of the Word when you failed to be a Doer of the Word. The people are asking why there're some semblance of what you had spoken against the Goat.
You spoke much about the Thin Goat for not following God's protocol:
- You decided Goat knows not God for he rejected the leadership
- You asserted Goat after the leadership's position and money
- You proclaimed Goat was lawless: prophesied and saw Jesus
- You chastised Goat for being a teacher of his "Amazing Truth"
- You affirmed Goat formed grouping: conspired to rebel
- You certified Goat was a very dangerous man
- You guaranteed Goat will surely die
- You pronounced Goat will go to hell
The congregants have learned their lessons well. They know who the 'Chief Goat' is and will blast out the much rehearsed declaration:
"I knew you not, you worker of iniquities.
Get lost - for God's enemy is my enemy."
