Ponder This…….
Moses was used by God in a way many leaders today could only speak about.
- He stood before Pharaoh.
- He saw signs and wonders.
- He led a nation.
- He received The Law.
- He spoke with God.
- He carried the burden of Israel through the wilderness.
Yet when Moses asked to enter the Promised Land, God said:
“Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.” Deuteronomy 3:26.
Let that settle……
- Moses was anointed, but still accountable.
- Moses was chosen, but still was corrected.
- Moses was used mightily, but still faced consequences.
This is where many in the modern Church have erred.
They think because God uses them, God agrees with them.
They think because the gift still works, The LORD is pleased.
They think because people still gather, heaven is still endorsing.
But operating in a Gifting, does not mean God is pleased with the vessel!
Listen, being used by God is not permission for us to dishonor God.
Calling, does not cancel consequence.
Grace does not erase holiness.
Mercy does not make God unjust.
The LORD CANNOT go against Himself.
Moses did not miss Canaan because God stopped loving him.
Moses missed Canaan because he misrepresented God before the people.
And that is a warning to every Leader handling God’s People.
- You cannot beat the sheep and still claim to represent the Shepherd!
- You cannot pollute the altar and still demand honor.
- You cannot mishandle holy things and think anointing will protect you from accountability.
The pulpit is not a hiding place and the microphone is not a covering!
The Gift is not a license. The crowd is not confirmation.
God is merciful — but He is still HOLY.
May The Fear of The LORD return to leadership.
May every Moses remember that intimacy with God is not an invitation to become casual with God — and public usefulness does not exempt anyone from private obedience.
Shalom

What a blessing to read a Word that cuts through to the very marrow, but leaves no bruises going in.
Thank you
What a powerful powerful word!
Dear Syreeta –
What wisdom you just posted. The straightforward understanding the Lord has given you is priceless. I want to encourage you to send this post everywhere.
I don’t know if you’re on X or Rumble or any You Tube sites, but, I just feel this is a Word that needs to go out to pastures, prophets, leaders and teachers across the nation.
It is exactly what the Lord’s doing now – as He uses His Ekklesia, His bride to fulfill His plans, He is also using cleaning and correcting His own bride in the process.
I encourage you to seek the Lord to post this in more places than just this site. I believe the Lord wants this message out – to reach the Corporate Body of the Remnant. Shalom
Amen…..the Lord has been calling for repentance and change….the clock is ticking…..tick tock, tick tock! Sins are being exposed, changes taking place ….many more to come!
God bless
Yes Ma’am, you truly nailed it! Woohoo…Lest we forget! Let this be a reminder to us all.
AMEN! Bless you Syreeta.
America beginning w/the houses of God have lost the fear of God in many cases. Watering down Gods word normalizing sin lying that it is showing Gods love and hateful to stand up for His Truth .. I see churches w/rainbow flags hung on the front of the church performing gay marriages by church leaders conservative media pushing lies about God all the time govt leaders leading this nation astray aligning thru passing laws bills promoting sin. letting evil continue to indoctrinate minds by doing nothing to stop this demonic takeover of the Ed systems and our culture and values. I pray daily for Americans to wake up repent turn from sin and fear God yet all I see are things becoming worse just as the Bible predicted for the last days.
Thank you Syreeta. As well as being the wind of winnowing and the fire of refining, God has His servants on “the proving grounds,” like testing freshly made or remodeled race cars. Father God, make us fit!
