The Shepherd is slaughtering the sheep

Once upon a time, a flock owner asked his shepherd to take his sheep to graze. Because they will be away for some days, the flock owner provided him with food, water, amoury and first aid. In fact, he made sure he lacked nothing so as to take good care of his flock.

After a few days and when the shepherd realized they had gone farther into the bush and no one seem to be in sight, he slaughtered one sheep, prepared khebab and grilled some for food – even though his master had provided him with everything.

After their long say in the bush grazing, they returned home. The flock owner on seeing the sheep realized the number had reduced. Upon interrogation, the shepherd admitted the offence and was asked to pay for the lost sheep and never return to the sheep fold again.

We have heard recent reports of sexual abuse by some men of God. The Bible specifically points out that in the end time false prophets will come in their numbers and lead people astray. My point is that their actions in the past and in recent times is only fulfilling scripture, else the Bible will be lying and you and I know God does not lie. It is just a matter of studying the scripture to understand what God really requires of us, so that if a man of God ask you to bring milo, sugar, milk, corned beef and bread for him to fast and pray for you or allow yourself to be bathed by him at the beach, you know what he is up to. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth, But shun profane and vane babblings; for they will increase unto more ungodliness” (2 Timothy 2:15-16).
