“For many are called, but few are chosen” Matthew 22:14
What kind of assignment can selected few handle that the many cannot? If many should handle an assignment or mission, shouldn’t that be faster and easier? Alas! God says NO!
The grace of God upon the selected few, rendered the ability of “MANY” debilitated.
However, the “called” has a role to play in fulfilling the purpose of God on earth, but the “chosen” were distinctively selected because of a developed virtue in their life; developed virtue either by self or by the Holy Spirit. That is why we have trained men of God and born men of God.
These men of God has secret tears that their members cannot wipe and it is so sad, that they cannot share the reason for the tears sometimes. Eli’s secret tears were his disobedient children which led to Ichabod “Departed Glory”. Moses secret tears were the hardened heart of the children of Israelites. Jeremiah’s secret tears was the sin of the people. The secret tears of Elijah was the fear of Jezebel who had killed the prophets before him. The secret tears of the disciples of Jesus was their persecution. The secret tears of Jesus is the sin of the world, just to mention but few.
Can you see that the mission is not for the “MANY” it is for the few. How many of the called can withstand persecution, bear the consequences of the disobedience of others and so on.
Below are the highlights of the secret tears of men of God today, meanwhile they appear on the altar, ministering as if all is well. No! They only hide it so as to bless your life and fulfil the mandate.
