No 974 of Living Life Series 1
Man must not end up as God by default. The risk of man ending up as God may not be far fetched if we are to look around us.
The rise of many a mega-house of God is testimony that this can be a possibility unless there are safeguards.
No wonder, the sages of old remind us to be wary and man needs to be the humble servant of God and men. A good leader is a good servant. An exalted leader must end up humbled to be more worthy of the congregation he serves.
A leader that sweeps in like a storm will win hearts like a storm. That is awesome and marvelous but what matters is the lasting impression he leaves in men. He must not end up worshiped by men and must motivate men to go beyond worship of God.
Men must want to go for the Word and live in the Word. God is the Word and the Word is God, just like what the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says that the image is the Word and the Word is the image.
He who sees and knows the Word, sees and knows God and saints. Man must not live by bread alone. Man too must not live by worship alone.
Man must go for the Word and apply this in both mundane and spiritual life. That which works for spiritual will work for mundane as well. This did the good lord remind us.
Let the Word be in our life and rule our life. Let no man idolize even God, let alone man. Let no man be God by default or by choice.
