EZEKIEL 2:7
You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious. [Ezekiel 2:7 NKJV]
Just tell them what I say, whether they listen or not, because they're rebels. [Ezekiel 2:7 FBV]
As a minister of the Word of God, avoid diluting or changing the Word of God to suit the audience because you want them to hear or to receive your message. Don't be manipulated into changing God's truth to fit what the people wants to hear; especially because when people are rebellious they tend to be selective or choosy on the kind of messages, gospels or pastors they would subscribe or listen to. This means, their ears decide the pastors or teachers of eternal destinies, especially in the end times:
[2 Timothy 4:2-5 FBV] — Speak God's word whether it is convenient or not, tell people where they're going wrong, warn them, encourage them. Do this with a great deal of patient teaching. For the time is coming when people won't bother to listen to true teaching. Instead they will be curious to listen to something different, and will surround themselves with teachers who'll tell them what they want to hear. They will stop listening to the truth and wander off following myths. You need to keep your wits about you at all times. Put up with troubles, do the work of sharing the good news, fulfill your ministry.
In the top Bible verse above, God told the Son of man to speak God's Words to the people, irrespective of whether they will listen or they will reject, after all they are rebellious people.
A true minister of God may find a temptation to twerk, what God said or did not say, to attract audience or traffic to his ministry and influence. But even God Himself knows that not everything He would be saying through His messengers will always make sense or be attractive to people who are rebellious. Why do prophets or ministers of God seek to be popular among men, to be acceptable to all men in this world?
One of the ways to suspect a prophet or preacher has some falsehood in his/her ministry and message, is when all men are speaking well of that prophet or preacher. As it is written,
(Luke 6:26-28) – "Woe to you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. But I say to you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which spitefully use you."
The Lord Jesus Christ preached and taught a hard message, and many of His disciples left His Ministry and never followed Him again because they felt His Messages were hard saying. Again, the Lord Himself knows His Words may not be received by all men, and yet He remains faithful to His Words. You must not be a "Men Pleaser" if you are a Messenger of God's Words to men. If you decide to please men, you lose your true message to please them with fables, myths, entertainments and messages that will encourage and comfort them though they lead rebellious or contrary life, but they speak in tongues, pay tithes and give fat offerings, sing religious songs, attend churches, etc.
You cannot serve two masters — Either you are Servant of Christ or you are men's pleaser in ministry — But you cannot be both. As it is written:
[Galatians 1:10-12] — "For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brothers, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ."
Again, you cannot serve two masters — Either you are Servant of Christ or you are Servant of Mammon as men's pleaser, because when a supposed minister gets people to highly esteem him/her in ministry, that also translate to that minister earning more money, even to buy private Jets and be stupendously rich in this world — But you cannot be both. As it is written:
[Luke 16:13-15 NKJV] — “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
