« Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive His approval »
1 Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
2 So they said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also?” And the Lord heard it.
3 (Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.)
4 Suddenly the Lord said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of meeting!” So the three came out.
5 Then the Lord came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both went forward.
6 Then He said, “Hear now My words: if there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream.
7 Not so with My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My house.
8 I speak with him face to face, even plainly, and not in dark sayings; and he sees the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?”
9 So the anger of the Lord was aroused against them, and He departed.
10 And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, suddenly Miriam became leprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper.
11 So Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord! Please do not lay this sin on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned.
12 Please do not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb!”
13 So Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “Please heal her, O God, I pray!”
14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shutout of the camp seven days, and afterward she may be received again.”
15 So Miriam was shut out of the camp seven days, and the people did not journey till Miriam was brought in again.
16 And afterward the people moved from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.
Yesterday, I made it clear that the anointed is not to be dishonoured for any reason.
Now, the question someone may have in mind is,
“What do we do with ministers of God who we believe to be erring?”
This is a very delicate situation that requires God’s wisdom and direction.
For example, in our Bible reading today, Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of something they believed he did wrong.
At the end of the day, Miriam became leprous and Moses had to pray to God for her to be healed.
It is not in your place to judge God’s servants; leave their judgments to their Master.
In Romans 12:19, the Bible says clearly that vengeance is His,
just report the matter to God, and He will deal with His anointed as He pleases.
- Anointed ministers of God cannot hide under the canopy of being God’s anointed and begin to treat His sheep the way they like.
Hebrews 10:31 says that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God;
believe me, a person should not experience God dealing with him or her Himself.
The reason we discipline erring workers is to shield them from God doing it Himself.
- When a pastor misbehaves, and the General Overseer suspends them, it is so that the Consuming Fire Himself will not be the one to do it.
So, if a pastor overlooks a person’s wrongdoings because of his or her contributions to the church treasury,
that pastor is doing more harm than good because God Himself will come in, and nobody wants to fall into the hands of the living God.
In 2 Samuel 11, David used his position to snatch another man’s wife and also got him killed.
Nobody could punish him as there was no one who was superior to the king.
God had to step in to punish him.
From that point on, there was no peace in David’s home.
Not long after, one of his sons, Amnon, raped his half-sister, and then another son, Absalom, killed him. Later, Absalom rose up against his father.
To date, the sword has not departed from Israel on account of the Lord’s judgement over David, 2 Samuel 12:9-10.
When a person is anointed by God and uses that anointing to cheat others, when God punishes that individual, the punishment might last throughout his or her lineage from generation to generation.
Application – Leave the judgement of anointed ministers who cheat you to God.
