The pastor is under the leadership and the command of the Lord Jesus Christ. If he did everything that every member of the church wanted done, then the pastor would not be the servant of Christ. It is the pastor s job to please the Lord before he seeks to please the congregation. He is to row, not under the command of a group of deacons or a special interest group in the church, but under the marching orders of God Almighty. As he does that, people that love God get in behind the man of God as he leads them.
Sheep follow goats butt.
The pastor is God s messenger to the church. Spiritual leadership for the congregation will come through God s appointed means. No, God speaks to and through his messenger to the church, His man. That speaks of a continual action. The idea is that the desire will remain if you are called of God to preach His Word and minster to His people.
