弥迦书［第3章］
[神对领袖的审判]
主讲: 林国晶传道

1.扭曲是非，残忍剥削（V1-3）
这些领袖明知何为公平，却‘恨恶善道，喜爱恶事’，把人民当作牺牲品，‘剥皮刮肉’，榨干资源、践踏公义。这段经文提醒我们：无论在家庭、教会或职场，手中的权柄都是神所托付，目的是为了服侍他人，而非谋取私利。
2.遭灾呼求，掩面不听（V4）
当这些领袖在灾难中向神呼求时，却发现神转脸不顾。因为他们在顺境中忽略神的心意，到了逆境才想寻求神的帮助。我们应当警醒：敬畏神不应只是危机时的‘保险’，而应成为我们日常生命的操练。
1.按利益宣讲信息（V5）
这些假先知为了物质利益出卖信息：“有人给吃的就说平安；不给就预言灾祸。”他们的宣讲不是出于神，而是出于交易动机。今天的讲员和信徒也当自省：我们是否只讲‘顺耳’的话，还是忠于神的真道？
2.失去异象蒙羞愧（V6-7）
神不再向他们说话，他们便陷入黑暗与羞耻之中。没有神的异象，“先知”的身份就失去了意义。若今天的教会失去神真实的启示，也将迷失方向，陷入属灵的黑暗与混乱。
弥迦宣告：“我却是被耶和华的灵充满，有公平、能力，能向雅各说明他的过犯。”他不依赖利益，也不讨人喜悦，只忠心传讲神的道，勇敢揭露罪恶。属神的领袖的标志，不在于声音有多大、跟随者有多少，而在于有圣灵的同在与真理的权柄。因此，我们也当常常求圣灵充满，使我们能在这世代中活出公义，传讲真理。
1.厌恶公平，屈枉正直（V9-11)
弥迦毫不留情地揭露社会体制的全面腐败。更可悲的是，这些人还自欺欺人，以为只要有圣殿、有祭司、有宗教仪式，神就会继续与他们同在。他们将属灵的形式当作保障，却忽略了神对公义与诚实的要求。
然而，真正属神的生命，不在于外在的宗教形式，而在于内心的悔改、诚实与对公义的践行。
2.领袖败坏，城变废墟（V12)
弥迦郑重宣告：因领袖的败坏，神的审判将临到。他所说的“败坏”不仅是个别的问题，而是整个属灵领导系统的堕落。他们失去正义，误导百姓走向灭亡，最终导致国家倾覆、城市荒废。
愿我们常常自省，不倚靠外在宗教形式，而是真实地被圣灵充满，带着真理与勇气，在这个世代中作神的代言人。
Micah 3
God's Judgment on Leaders
12/06/2025
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Stella
1. Twisting Justice and Ruthlessly Exploiting Others (V1–3)
These leaders knew what justice was, yet they “hate good and love evil”, treating the people like sacrifices—“stripping off their skin and tearing their flesh”, draining resources and trampling on justice.
This passage reminds us that whether in the family, church, or workplace, the authority we hold is entrusted by God to serve others, not for selfish gain.
2. Disaster Comes, and God Hides His Face (V4)
When these leaders cry out to God in disaster, they find that He turns His face away. In times of prosperity, they ignored God's will, only seeking Him in crisis. This warns us that reverence for God shouldn't be treated as an "insurance policy" in hard times, but rather a daily discipline of life.
1. Prophesying for Personal Gain (V5)
These false prophets speak peace when they are fed, but pronounce doom when they receive nothing. Their messages are motivated by transactions, not by God. Today’s preachers and believers must also reflect: Are we merely speaking words that please people, or are we faithfully proclaiming God's truth?
2. Losing Vision Brings Shame (V6–7)
God ceases to speak to them, and they are left in darkness and shame. Without revelation from God, the title of “prophet” becomes meaningless. If the church today loses the true revelation of God, it too will lose its direction and fall into spiritual darkness and confusion.
Micah declares: “But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the Lord, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression.” He does not rely on profit or popularity but faithfully speaks God’s word and boldly exposes sin. The mark of a true leader of God is not a loud voice or a large following, but the presence of the Holy Spirit and the authority of truth. Let us continually seek the filling of the Holy Spirit, so that we may live righteously and proclaim truth in this generation.
1. Hating Justice and Perverting the Right (V9–11)
Micah fearlessly exposes systemic corruption. Even worse, these leaders deceive themselves, thinking that as long as they have the temple, priests, and rituals, God will remain with them. They rely on religious form but ignore God's demands for justice and integrity.
True spiritual life is not about outward forms, but about inner repentance, honesty, and a life that practices justice.
2. Corrupt Leadership Brings Ruin (V12)
Micah solemnly declares that God's judgment will come because of corrupt leadership. The word “corruption” here isn’t about individual failings alone, but the collapse of the entire spiritual leadership system. These leaders lost justice, misled the people, and caused the downfall of the nation and the ruin of the city.
May we examine ourselves often, not relying on external religious forms, but truly being filled with the Holy Spirit. Let us be people of truth and courage, God’s messengers in our generation.
