Ezekiel 34:2-3
2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy and say to them, “Thus says the Lord God to the shepherds: ‘Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? 3 You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you slaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock.’”
2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy and say to them, “Thus says the Lord God to the shepherds: ‘Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? 3 You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you slaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock.’”
There are many today who still claim to be shepherds, leading large ministries but with deceptive, false, and self seeking agendas. Instead of humbly feeding the people, they ask for more from them and only give empty hope of health, wealth, and miracles. The problem is that these go against God and His word, and leave the sheep to wander in hunger for truth with empty hopes. They need Jesus Christ, walking by faith, solid teaching, and sacrificial examples. False shepherds are merely wolves in suits.
1 Peter 5:2-4. 2 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; 3 nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock; 4 and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
