DON’T CRITICIZE WHAT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND — VALUE GOD’S ANOINTED
..IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN MAKE TIME TO READ THIS ....
One of the greatest mistakes a believer can make is to join the world in attacking or dishonoring God’s anointed vessels. Don’t criticize people whose journey you don’t understand. You may not know the weight they carry, the pain they’ve endured, or the sacrifices they’ve made to answer God’s call. Every calling carries its own warfare. What a person carries in the spirit determines the battles they face in life and ministry.
Many times, the fiercest satanic attacks are not against the person, but against their assignment. Hell fights those who carry spiritual solutions. Satan doesn’t waste resources on empty vessels he targets anointed men and women because they carry answers, deliverance, healing, and transformation for generations.
Sadly, we live in a time where many in the Church have allowed offense, ignorance, and carnal judgments to make them tools in Satan’s hands, destroying instead of defending, criticizing instead of covering, tearing down instead of building up.
We must remember: Anointed men and women of God are still human. They are not perfect, but they are chosen. Spotting a man’s weakness is not a license to destroy his destiny. Remember , God is able to make him stand !!!
The Bible says in Psalm 105:15, "Touch not My anointed, and do My prophets no harm." This is not a suggestion, it is a warning. Many are battling unnecessary hardships and spiritual dryness because they dishonored, spoke against, or rose up against those God had sent to bless them.
Even Jesus Christ , the sinless Son of God could not do many miracles in His hometown, “because of their unbelief” (Matthew 13:58). Where there is dishonor, the anointing becomes unfruitful. The same Jesus who healed multitudes was limited among His own because they didn’t value Him.
When you reject a true man or woman of God, you reject what God sent through them for your lifting. As the Bible says in John 1:11-12: “He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God...”
A Call to the Church
It’s time for the Church to rise up and protect the gifts God has given us. Our pastors, prophets, evangelists, teachers, and apostles are not idols to be worshiped, but vessels to be honored, covered in prayer, and supported in love and loyalty.
Instead of gossiping, pray. Instead of judging from a distance, stand with them in truth. Instead of amplifying their faults, help carry the burden of their calling.
Hebrews 13:17 says: “Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account...”
The men and women of God are not perfect, but they are positioned. They may bleed, but they still bless. If we don’t value them, we will lose them—either to the grave or to other nations who recognize their worth.
Let us come together in unity—leaders and members alike—and focus on fulfilling the Great Commission. We are not in competition; we are in cooperation. Every joint supplies. Let us protect our fathers, honor our leaders, and walk as one people—co-laborers in the vineyard of the Lord.
A Final Word
If the enemy cannot destroy the shepherd, he scatters the sheep. Don’t be a tool in his hands. Be a shield, a helper, a burden-bearer, a loyal defender of God's work. God will hold us accountable not only for what we built, but also for what we helped destroy.
May God give us the wisdom and humility to honor His vessels, discern their worth, and fight alongside them to establish His kingdom on earth.
“If you receive a prophet in the name of a prophet, you will receive a prophet’s reward...” – Matthew 10:41
