Ps.75.6 - For exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south.
Ps.75.7 - But God is the Judge: He puts down one, And exalts another.

You quote the Greek word for 'grace' but still can’t say 'sorry' in English.
Deep theology with shallow relationships is a red flag—your spiritual gift might be accurate, but your fruit? Suspicious.
Even Paul said love is louder than tongues.

MANY ARE CALLED, BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN.

Matt.20.1 - "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
Matt.20.2 - Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Matt.20.3 - And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
Matt.20.4 - and said to them, "You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.
Matt.20.5 - Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
Matt.20.6 - And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, "Why have you been standing here idle all day?'
Matt.20.7 - They said to him, "Because no one hired us.' He said to them, "You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.'
Matt.20.8 - "So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, "Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.'
Matt.20.9 - And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.
Matt.20.10 - But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius.
Matt.20.11 - And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner,
Matt.20.12 - saying, "These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.'
Matt.20.13 - But he answered one of them and said, "Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
Matt.20.14 - Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.
Matt.20.15 - Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?'
Matt.20.16 - So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen."

Another very serious question from the ongoing school.of ministry pregnant with solid lessons.
..posted with permission.

Question-

'Sir, my wife and I are in a situation in which one of my mentors told us to end a relationship with another minister who is a friend of ours ...my mentor threatened to end his relationship with me should I continue to relate with this friend of mine ...he specifically instructed me to cut all ties and never invite him to our ministry again...my wife and I are heartbroken about this because on one hand we honour our mentor and at the same time our relationship with our friend has been a great kingdom relationship.
When we asked our mentor why he refused to tell categorically why, but in hush tones, something about 'living in sin'
We confronted our friend about the matter , and he denied it... We got back to our mentor, who now claims he has proofs ...
We asked if he was willing to confront him so that we could bring all parties together...our mentor refused...
Before all these, we have invited both for our upcoming conference, and our mentor has said he would not attend for as long as our friend will be there

Sir,what do we do...my wife and I are depressed'

My answer-

Beloved,

Sadly,this situation is not new. I have faced something similar but slightly different, and many have faced this in life and ministry...

I will be scriptural and practical in answering this as a way of helping you and madam out of this painful situation

1. Honour is Kingdom Culture, but Control is Carnal Culture

“Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy…” – 2 Corinthians 1:24

A true mentor helps your joy, not hijacking your judgment. A father in the Lord is not called to play the Holy Spirit in your life. His role is not to substitute your spiritual discernment but to sharpen it.

When someone says, "Cut off this friend or I cut you off,” they are not mentoring you—they are manipulating you. And when someone imposes silence instead of offering clarity, they are not protecting you—they are controlling you.

Honour is beautiful. But when it is built on fear, silence, threats, and blind loyalty—it stops being honour and becomes idolatry.

2. No One Deserves to Be Disfellowshipped by Whisper

“Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.” – 1 Timothy 5:19

Your mentor claims someone is “living in sin,” yet refuses to:

Offer clarity or transparency

Confront the person

Submit to Matthew 18's redemptive process

This is what we must call it—character assassination in priestly robes.

When we tolerate whispers without witnesses, we allow rumours to replace righteousness.

The friend you confronted stood his ground. You went back to your mentor in humility. Yet all you received was, “I have proof”—but no justice, no process, no confrontation. That’s not how truth behaves. That’s how gossip hides.

3. Confrontation is Love, But Withholding Truth is Spiritual Cowardice

“If your brother sins, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you…” – Matthew 18:15

If the sin is grievous and proven, the biblical path is confrontation and restoration—not cancellation.

But if a spiritual leader hides behind vague allusions, backs out of confrontation, and still expects you to act on suspicion—they are asking you to burn bridges without seeing the smoke.

The Lord taught us that anything done in darkness will eventually come to light. But here, your mentor is demanding you "cut ties" based on secrets he won't disclose and refuses to test in the light of the Word.

That is not righteousness. That is rank manipulation.

4. Your Platform Is Not a Playground for Personal Politics

Let’s talk about your conference. Both men were invited before this tension began. Now your mentor is using his invitation as leverage: "If he comes, I won’t."

This is not spiritual maturity. This is passive aggression with clerical polish.

Your pulpit is not a pressure point to test loyalties. Your conference is not a battlefield of egos. You are not to be trapped between two grown men who won’t face each other in love.

If either party is unwilling to walk in the light—then neither has earned the right to demand your silence, your stage, or your submission.

5. Your Depression Is Valid, But It Must Not Be Final

You and your wife are heartbroken. Of course you are. You’ve been thrown into a war of silence, suspicion, and forced decisions—with no clarity, no proof, and no pastoral care.

You’ve tried to honour both parties. You’ve tried to reconcile them. You’ve opened the door to process.

And yet, the one who claims to be the more “spiritual” of the two refuses to step into the light.

Let me say this with fire: you are not depressed because of disobedience—you are depressed because of distortion. This is not what biblical authority is meant to do.

6. What Should You Do? A Prophetic and Practical Way Out

Let’s now shift into counsel—not just for escape, but for elevation.

a. Honour Your Mentor, But Detach from Unrighteous Ultimatums

You don’t owe blind obedience. You owe honour, which includes truth, peace, and boundaries. If he insists on severing ties because you won’t execute his silent verdict, let him walk—but don’t let your calling crawl.

b. Revisit the Conversation with Your Friend With Firmness and Grace

Make it clear: “We’re not judging, but we need to walk in light.” If he maintains innocence and you have no evidence or witness to say otherwise, do not join the accuser’s bandwagon. Your loyalty is to truth, not whispers.

c. Postpone or Reconfigure the Conference Invitations

It’s painful but may be necessary. Make a firm but loving call: “Until this matter is resolved in light, we can not proceed with either of you on this platform.” That is leadership. That is integrity. You’re protecting your altar—not playing sides.

d. Seek Counsel from a Third Trusted, Neutral Father or Council

This is vital. Find someone with no emotional ties to either party. Let them listen and weigh in. Every David needs a Samuel in times like this.

e. Lean Into Prayer With Your Wife—And Prophesy Your Peace Back

Don’t just pray to survive this season—prophesy over it. You will come out wiser, stronger, and cleaner. You will be the kind of leader that others can trust—not because you’re flawless - but because you chose the light, not the shadows.

7. Final Counsel: Never Let Manipulation Mask Itself as Mentorship

This situation is not just about two men. It is about you and your wife discerning what kind of ministers you are becoming.

You’ve been tested by silence. You’ve been pressured by loyalty. You’ve been tossed between two voices.

But now, it’s time to rise.

Rise with clarity.

Rise with courage.

Rise with conviction.

What is ahead of you is too great to be reduced to spiritual hostage-taking.

Say This Out Loud:

> "I refuse to let whispers govern my wisdom.
I will walk in truth, not trembling.
I will honour my leaders without losing my voice.
I will build my ministry on light, not loyalty-based manipulation.
And I will rise from this moment with scars of clarity and anointing of justice.
I am not a pawn in anyone’s conflict. I am a son in God’s Kingdom."

With all boldness and brotherhood,
I affirm your pain. But I also affirm your posture.

You were not wrong for asking questions.
You were not wrong for seeking clarity.
And you are not wrong for refusing to execute judgment based on whispers.

You were tested. And you didn’t curse, scheme, or scatter.
You tried to reconcile. That’s noble.
Now, be bold enough to lead in light, even if others won’t walk in it.

This was not just about your friend or your mentor.
It was about your discernment.
And sir—you passed.

Now take your wife’s hand. Wipe your tears. And lead.
You are rising with your mantle intact.

Regards

DD

On the mercy lane, the elder can serve the younger—because mercy is not deployed to protect pride, age, or status. Mercy is deployed to serve the purposes of God according to election.

This is not about who looks more qualified. This is not about seniority, longevity, or pedigree. This is about alignment to divine purpose. And when mercy is on the move, even natural orders must bow—because the goal is never who leads or who follows, but who serves what God is doing now.

To serve the younger doesn’t mean you’re lesser.
It means you’re discerning.
It means you’ve recognised God’s election—and you’ve submitted to it.
It means you’ve chosen divine relevance over human recognition.

If you’re too conscious of your age, your rank, your credentials—you’ll miss it. You’ll call service beneath you and watch mercy pass you by.

Those who observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. (Jonah 2:8)

What are lying vanities?

“I’m older.”

“I’m more experienced.”

“He should be the one to serve me.”

Mercy doesn’t care. Mercy serves the purpose, not the pride.

God is not trying to protect your status—He’s trying to execute His will.

So if He says, “Elder, serve the younger,” you better serve with joy—because in that service, you align with His election, and in that alignment, you find your own mercy moment.

On the mercy lane, it is never about who gets served—it is about what purpose gets fulfilled.

Brother minister,

Honouring other streams doesn’t mean you must water down your own. Respect is not compromise. Esteem does not mean erosion. In trying to sound “balanced,” many have lost the cutting edge of their assignment. You were not sent to be acceptable; you were sent to be accurate.

Hear this: Not every stream is compatible—some are simply complementary. And you must discern the difference. The Apostle Paul was unapologetically the apostle to the Gentiles, and he said clearly, “I magnify my office.” That’s not arrogance—it’s divine alignment. He respected Peter, James, and John, but he did not let their calling to the Jews define his calling to the Gentiles.

And when men crept in teaching, “Unless you are circumcised according to the law of Moses, you cannot be saved,” Paul didn’t try to blend or dilute it to stay in good books. He refused to compel Titus to be circumcised. He wasn’t trying to sound cross-stream appealing—he was defending the integrity of the gospel committed to him. That’s apostolic fidelity.

There will always be “Pharisees who believe” and “men of the circumcision” who think you’re too sharp, too different, too clear—but stand your ground. The boys may murmur, but the pillars will stretch forth their hands and recognise grace when they see it.

Let’s be clear: I honour every stream that’s of God. But I won’t preach what every stream is preaching just to appear safe or “well-rounded.” That’s not balance; that’s confusion. Even the Lord Jesus, in His earthly ministry, said He was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And when a Gentile woman came, the disciples were uneasy, and the Lord made a statement that would offend any unprepared ear. Yet she got her miracle because she discerned something deeper.

You’re not called to mix everything like a spiritual buffet. You’re called to minister your dispensation in the gospel of Christ. Preach it whole. Preach it bold. Preach it pure.

It’s the gathering of wholesome messages—not the mixture of watered-down convictions—that matures the Church.

Stay loud. Stay true. Stay aligned.

Regards

Let me share with us one of the questions from the ongoing school of ministry...it speaks to a lot of ministry things...I have the permission to share...but name withheld.

Sir, I’ve been following you for years now, but I must say what really drew me in was during that heated moment when Pastor XYZ was being attacked on Twitter. You stepped in to defend him with calm, scripture, and honour—even when the attack shifted towards you. You were misquoted, misjudged, yet you never retaliated. No insults. No drama. Just calm, truth, and maturity. That incident marked me. Since then, I’ve read all your posts—even though I don’t comment. I’ve noticed you never ride trends, you don’t attack others, and your posts always go deep into Scripture, sometimes in ways I’ve never seen before. My question is: what is the secret to this level of maturity, consistency, and restraint in your online ministry?
(This question came from a senior minister in Nigeria.)

My response:

Thank you sir for this thoughtful question. I remember that moment vividly—when Pastor XYZ was being dragged publicly. I didn’t speak to score points. I spoke because I live by a deep conviction: if love can’t guide your truth, then your truth is incomplete. I wasn’t trying to win arguments. I was trying to maintain alignment—with Scripture, with the Spirit, and with the integrity of ministry.

And to your question: this is not just a social media strategy. This is my life philosophy. It is a posture. A consecration. A way of seeing people, truth, correction, and conflict through the lens of Christ—not culture.

1. I don’t post to react—I post to reveal.

Social media thrives on speed, outrage, and applause. I don’t. I post to reveal Christ, to establish truth, and to edify the body—not to respond to noise.

“We have renounced the hidden things of shame… not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth…” — 2 Corinthians 4:2

If I respond to everything, I’ll lose the rhythm of what heaven is truly saying. So, even when my silence is misunderstood, I choose it—because silence is sometimes louder than shouting.

2. I’d rather restore than react.

When I disagree, I don’t attack. If I know the person, I’ll call. If I don’t, I pray. And most times, I hold my peace. Why? Because I’ve seen people double down in public, then confess privately months later: “We thought this was right, but now we see…”

> “A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city…” — Proverbs 18:19

So I’d rather win a brother than win a battle. I believe in confronting with truth—but I don’t believe in wounding the Body of Christ to prove a point.

3. I don’t build a ministry on trends—I build on truth.

Trends are loud. Truth is lasting. Every time you speak, you plant a seed—either in the flesh or in the spirit. That’s why I don't chase what's hot—I pursue what's holy. Because years from now, someone will still read that post. Will it still be edifying?

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” — Matthew 24:35

4. I speak from consecration, not competition.

I know why I was sent. That clarity keeps me consistent. I don’t need to trend. I don’t need to clap back. I’m not called to everything. I’m called to build, equip, and align. I stay within that grace zone.

When you know who sent you, you’re not moved by who misunderstands you.

5. I’ve seen what haste and fire-for-fire spirit produces—it’s not Christ.

I’ve lived long enough in ministry to see people cancel others in one season, then apologise in another. I’ve seen hashtags turn into heresies. I’ve seen fire-for-fire defenders become later remorseful. So I don't take everything people post today too seriously—they may change their minds tomorrow.

Mercy teaches you to wait. And love teaches you to listen.

6. I don’t seek to be right—I seek to be redeeming.

Even when I’m right scripturally, my goal is not to win arguments but to win hearts back to truth. That’s why even in disagreement, I choose words seasoned with grace.

“Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how to answer each one.” — Colossians 4:6

Truth without grace wounds. Grace without truth deceives. But truth in love transforms.

7. Love is not just an emotion—it’s a filter.

Before I speak, I ask: “Does this glorify Christ? Does this edify His Body? Will this bring redemption—or just reactions?”

“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14

This posture isn’t weakness—it’s worship. It’s not silence—it’s stewardship.

In conclusion…

What you’ve seen online is just a public extension of a private conviction. This isn’t about managing a brand. This is about maintaining a witness.

I believe deeply in doctrine. I stand fiercely for truth. But I am committed to expressing both within the boundaries of the love of Christ. Because truth expressed without love can become spiritual violence. And that’s not the Kingdom we were sent to build.

So yes, I will continue to write deeply, carefully, and reverently.
I will continue to stay silent when noise surrounds me, unless the Spirit instructs otherwise.
And I will keep choosing love over outrage, restoration over retaliation, and truth over trend.

Because in the end, it’s not how loudly we speak—but how faithfully we reflect Christ—that will matter.

Thank you again for this question. Stay consistent. Stay rooted. And let your voice always carry light, not just sound.
