Ezekiel 33:31
So they come to you as people do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain.
So they come to you as people do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain.
Ezekiel 34:2. “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?
Our fallen nature does not change; many still hear God's word from those He chose to speak, whether from a pulpit or along the way in teaching while making disciples. They hear, talk of how much they love the person who spoke - but then go back to doing what they want, not why God calls us to. And also there are those speaking who claim to speak from God, but again seek only gain for themselves. These things should not be so! We must pursue the things go God by heeding His word, and be servants, not master. We should gain our souls and not the whole world.
