Jeremiah 3:15
And I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.
Beloved,
One major gift God gives a man from His heart is a pastor. You know you have the right pastor because he supplies understanding and knowledge to you, he supplies the information with which you are formed.
A pastor, like a shepherd, takes you through the pasture; he feeds food for you. After you have been born again, the next thing God does for you is to put you under a pastor. Paul had Ananias, the disciples had Jesus, the sons of the prophets had Elisha, the Israelites had Moses. Like He raised Moses for the children of Israel, God is working on pastors for the sake of the flock so as to fashion them well for that assignment.
When you become born again, there are so many things you will not understand unless you come under the tutelage of a pastor. Armed with their teachings and lessons, you now begin to take up your own walk with God and thus begin to rise.
If you are still in doubt about who your pastor should be, pray about it, ask for the leading of the Holy Spirit and when you find the God-ordained one for you, submit to their teaching and see your life begin to take shape under God.
I commend you to God and to the word of His grace.
I call you BLESSED. I call you NATIONS.
