Misguided Fervency versus Biblical Fervency

One who is fervent about the commandments and traditions of men advocated by his church will be recognized, commended and often elevated to positions of influence within his church. It is happening all around us; it is the way of the world within the church. Often times it is personality instead of anointing that opens the doors for these people and often times there is mixture of truth and error in their message just like there was in the Garden of Eden.

I will say that many of them are doing so out of lack of understanding about certain things and not deliberately to deceive people.  If they humble themselves and wake up about certain key things they will be mighty for Jesus and His kingdom. Apollos is a good biblical example of one who humbly listened and made the necessary changes. (Acts 18: 24-26). Note to men: how many of you will listen and change if a woman is involved in explaining the way more accurately to you. I do realize that there are a few puffed up women. The bottom line is humility, true humility for all

 Biblical fervency must be combined with biblical humility. Where are those men, women, boys and girls who are broken and contrite, teachable, born again, baptized in the Spirit, sanctified by His truth, and fervently witnessing Jesus and Him crucified and the gospel of the kingdom to all around them (Matthew 24: 14)?
