Daily Devotional. And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, BUT THE GOATS ON THE LEFT. Matthew 25:33. Then shall he say also unto THEM ON THE LEFT hand, DEPART FROM ME, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Matthew 25:41. We need to understand one very important fact here, This is talking about the 4 walls grassy front yard church and the people that go to church, whatever day of the week it is. This is NOT talking about the general run of the mill sinner running around in the world. Christians, capital “C”, Christians, are scattered throughout the world like salt shaken from a salt shaker. Some churches may have a strong Body of Believers, while most other churches have so few Believers, they’re hard to find. This can be in part because they are mostly in the background Praying as the Lord directs. Otherwise, many goats fill in the spaces not taken by Believers. Much of the time, the goats run the church. The Preacher either can’t, it won’t, buck their system, THEY SIGN THE PAYCHECK. Goats have HORNS, they can hurt you. Ever been hurt by a goat in church? Ever seen fuss-fights or splits in a business meeting? ONLY A PASTOR WHO IS COMPLETELY SOLD OUT TO THE LORD IS CAPABLE OF TAKING ON THE GOATS. They are well entrenched and have been so long before you got there. Only you AND the Lord can change things. Here’s a hard statement, In the business meeting, the pastor generally goes before the Goats asking them for permission to do what he, the pastor, wants to do. A MAN OF GOD, HEARING FROM GOD, WILL OBEY GOD AS FROM ON HIGH, and the goats run for cover. Jesus never asked anyone’s permission, from man, to do what His Father, God, told Him to do. If God’s in it, God will do it, step aside man, you’re about to get run over. God’s Way is the ONLY Way, otherwise, it’s of man and doomed to fail. There is ONLY Victory in Christ. Be Victorious, Be Blessed.
