To my “little” flock…

This one in the Lord is for you CRBC Company…originally appeared on Christian Research Net—one of your other outreaches coming from your Apprising Ministries. Soli Deo Gloria!

I for one, will be eternally grateful that the Lord will one day set us free from the sordid spiritual bondage of The Deceivers like “Pastor” Silva. The Lord be praised that “Pastor” Silva is only pastor to 4 other poor deluded souls…

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
(1 Corinthians 3:7-8, KJV)

“Dear Lord, I refuse henceforth to compete with any of Thy servants. They have congregations larger than mine. So be it. I rejoice in their success. They have greater gifts. Very well. That is not in their power nor in mine. I am humbly grateful for their greater gifts and my smaller ones. I only pray that I may use to Thy glory such modest gifts as I possess. I will not compare myself with any, nor try to build up my self-esteem by noting where I may excel one or another in Thy holy work.”

“I herewith make a blanket disavowal of all intrinsic worth. I am but an unprofitable servant. I gladly go to the foot of the class and own myself the least of Thy people. If I err in my self judgment and actually underestimate myself I do not want to know it. I purpose to pray for others and to rejoice in their prosperity as if it were my own. And indeed it is my own if it is Thine own, for what is Thine is mine, and while one plants and another waters it is Thou alone that giveth the increase.” PON104-105.

“Amen.”
