How God Took Away The Affairs of Nation From Pastors and Gave To Politicians
Category:
City Pastor's Teachings
Reference: 1 Samuel 8
Before this time in reference, God had given the Israelites, leaders in form of prophets that had been leading them, right from the time of Moses- Joshua - Esther- Ruth and lots of others.
These leaders had the ability to hear from God, spend time with God, receive visits from angels who carried messages from God to them for the nation.
These leaders did not just have administrative powers but also had spiritual powers, they led the people physically and also performed spiritual miracles. They combined both the duties of pastors(men of God0 and political office duties.
It was so much that, a lot of times when they go the holy of the holiness, where sometimes they commune with God for weeks, months, they has no successors that overlooked the affairs of the nation, like what happened when Moses went the first time to Mount Sanai to receive the ten commandments which was written in the finger of God, but Moses broke it because on his return the people had already gone astray and were already worshiping idols because there was no presence of a leader.
However, the situation remained like that, with men of God overseeing the affairs of the nation, even long after Moses. Then the prophets (men of God) started assigning their sons, their family members as judges (governors, ministers) to oversee the affairs of the nation, without being voted for or chosen by the people!
Most of these sons and family members of the prophets assigned to leadership positions, like the sons of Eli, sons of Samuel became greedy, arrogant, selfish, adulterous, thieves, using their political offices to steal from the people. (Just like it is in the present days).
So the people got angry because they were being cheated by people they did not vote for and so they went to Samuel (The prophet, man of God in charge of the affairs of Israel) and requested that he gives to them a king that they will chose by themselves.
Samuel was angry at their request and went to God to seek His answer to their request. God allowed the voice of the people to prevail, though, just like Samuel, God was not happy about their request, but he permitted it to allow them experience the difference in leadership.
And that was when the affairs of the nation was taken away from the pastors(men of God) and given to politicians.
Because of the greed and corruption of the pastors and men of God's family members.
Even the people being led were also corrupt as they were having other gods which God was aware of, in spite all of all He did for them, which everyone was aware of.
So the people have always been a problem too, it's because of their unfaithfulness that these pastors are able to trade on their gullibility to cheat them, they are always willing to give bribe, just like we have in the current world.
So God permitted them to have for themselves a king to rule over their affairs (a politician, that would enslave them) Read 1 Samuel 8:11-18, you will understand why politicians have so much and people have nothing- because its a curse from God for them to forfeit all they have to the political office holders, its their punishment for their request.
And God said He would not answer them when they cry out for help, because that was their request. Please read 1 Samuel 8:18.
