"EXCLUSIVITY"

Ministers, beware of putting yourself into an area or realm of “exclusivity” where you believe you are the only one or even the first one receiving “revelation” from God that has never been heard before in the earth. When you think or make a statement like that you are basically saying that you have the equivalent of “scripture” that can be included in the Bible itself, and have put yourself on or above the level of all the biblical Prophets and Apostles as well as Christ himself. It is a delusion and the Bible itself contradicts you in 2nd Peter 1:20; “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.” You are never the only one in the earth that receives a particular revelation. God will not allow any man in this day and age to be his sole witness because your ego can’t handle that level of trust, and no revelation comes without confirmation which means someone else will know it too besides you. When the prophet Elijah told the Lord himself that he was the only one left of all the prophets or true believers God corrected him by telling him in 1st Kings 19:18, “Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.” There are more people and believers in the world today than there were then so how is it possible that you are the only one hearing a special exclusive message from God? It’s not. You may receive a personal message but it’s not unique in the sense that know one else has a similar or identical experience. Don’t allow a time of prosperity and spiritual highs in your life to deceive you into believing that your relationship with the Almighty has made you more important than what you really are.
