NUGGET FROM REVEREND SAM ADEYEMI’S TEACHING: “THE SHEPHERD KING”

THE DMC MOTIVATIONAL CORNER

The Big Question on my mind is: Why would God describe us as Sheep?

… Because He could have used some other animals.

You know, I would prefer to be the Lion: Courageous, Strong, Royal, with a Powerful roar that sends fear into the hearts of other animals.

Or may be the Eagle: Soaring High, Running into storms and Riding them to amazing heights! The incredible Power of Vision and all that.

But well, God in His Wisdom decided that in describing His Relationship with us, He would describe us as Sheep.

So when you hear Sheep, what comes to your mind? What Qualities? What Attributes?

If you want to describe the Sheep, how would you describe it?

… MUMU! In our local language – A DUMB!

You have seen animals use the Circus Show and you know how well People can TRAIN Animals.

You have seen Leopards or Tigers, you have seen Lions, you have seen Elephants, you have seen Dogs, you have seen Horses in Races.

But you never see the Sheep.

WHY? … It CANNOT be TRAINED!

It is not as smart enough to learn anything or to do anything sophisticated. It doesn’t even have the Power to defend itself!

It cannot fight: no horns, no claws, no fangs to bite.

AH! So the question again – So why is it this Sheep that God decided to use to describe us?

GOD in His Wisdom wants us to know that the Sheep has ALL those QUALITIES; but the STRENGTH of the Sheep is in the SHEPHERD!”

When you look at the equation very well; you will find out and realised that the Strength of the Sheep lies in the Shepherd.

The capacity for direction and defense of the Sheep lies in the Shepherd according to Jeremiah 50:6.

Because we are Sheep therefore, we crave for Leadership.

The Sheep is very susceptible to deception and there is a lot of deception in our world today.

… By the time you get what you want; will you want what you get?

God wants to be our Shepherd and our King.

One thing so sure is that: Our days of anxiety and going in the wrong directions are over.
