领受牧者的恩膏——从弥迦书看神的牧养心意

日期:2025年5月24日

核心经文|弥迦书 5:4
“他必起来,倚靠耶和华的大能,并耶和华─他神之名的威严,牧养他的羊群;他们要安然居住,因为当时他必为大,直到地极。”

一、祂亲自兴起牧者——不是人挑选的,是神亲手膏抹的

弥迦的预言中,有一个默默无闻的地方——伯利恒,却孕育出神亲自兴起的牧人。祂不是站在高台上的君王,而是走进人群中,用爱抱起破碎之人的主。
• 祂倚靠耶和华的大能:不是借着世上的势力,而是靠圣灵温柔却无法抵挡的膏油。
• 祂活出神的威严:祂不高举自己,却彰显神的真实、公义与慈爱。
• 祂牧养,使人安息:祂不是压迫,而是遮盖;不是要求,而是拥抱;祂使人心重新得力,在风暴中仍能安歇。

属灵回应:神今日在寻找的,不是舞台上的领袖,而是祭坛上的心。你愿意被祂所用,成为祂心意的牧人吗?

二、祂呼召牧者——是为着失散的羊群得着归回

弥迦书 2:12
“以色列的残存之民哪,我要把你们集合起来……像牧羊人把羊群带回羊圈。”

神的心,始终牵挂那些流离失所的羊。祂没有忘记任何一个受伤的灵魂,也没有放弃任何一个远离祂的儿女。祂在呼唤牧者,不是为了建造更大的舞台,而是为了张开双手,把每一只迷路的羊抱回怀中。
• 这恩膏不是为你的名声,而是为他们的归宿。
• 这膏油不是为了你发光,而是为他们得痊愈。

你愿意为一只流泪的羊,花上一整天寻找它吗?
你愿意安静在无声处,只为听见一颗破碎心的叹息吗?

三、祂呼召你破城而行——走在最前,只为开一条归家的路

弥迦书 2:13
“开路的在他们前面上去……他们的王在前面行,耶和华引导他们。”

这是一个极其动人的画面:
神所膏立的牧者,走在最前方,不是为了显出自己,而是为了破开属灵的围墙——为百姓开出一条活路。
• 真正的牧者,是“破城者”——宁可自己受伤,也不让百姓被困。
• 他不是隐藏的策士,而是流泪的先锋。

不是每一个人都愿意站在第一线。
但神在寻找那一个:
愿意流血、愿意付代价、愿意不被人记得——只为神的百姓得自由。

你愿意成为那个人吗?愿意不为舞台而走,只为羊群能回家?

四、膏抹只临到破碎的人——神看重的不是技巧,而是心

弥迦书 6:8
“只要你行公义,好怜悯,存谦卑的心,与神同行。”

真正被神使用的牧人,不一定才华出众,却一定有一颗柔软的心。
• 破碎让我们真实:祂不膏抹表演,祂膏抹眼泪。
• 悔改让我们洁净:祂不在乎过去,而在乎我们是否愿意重来。
• 同行让我们持久:祂不寻找短跑者,而是找愿意每日牵祂手的人。

祷告回应:
主啊,我不要只是讲祢的信息,我愿成为祢的声音;
我不要只是知道祢的路,我愿与你同行;
愿祢的膏油落在我这破碎的器皿上,叫我所说的不再是我的口气,而是祢心里的爱。

五、结语:你愿意成为神手中的牧人吗?

这个时代不缺讲员,不缺领袖,不缺策略——
但缺少一群愿意为一只羊落泪的牧者。
• 神在寻找的,不是你有多少能力,而是你是否愿意听祂的心跳。
• 神在呼召的,是那肯舍己、肯等待、肯为羊群流泪到夜深的人。

你愿意被祂膏抹吗?

不是为讲更大的道,建更大的事工,而是为了走进最小的角落,轻声说:“孩子,神要你回家。”

Receiving the Anointing of a Shepherd — Understanding God’s Heart for Shepherding Through the Book of Micah

Date: May 24, 2025

Key Scripture | Micah 5:4
“He will stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they will live securely, for then his greatness will reach to the ends of the earth.”

  1. God Himself Raises Shepherds — Not Chosen by Men, but Anointed by His Own Hand

In Micah’s prophecy, there is a small, overlooked place—Bethlehem. Yet from there, God would raise a Shepherd, not a ruler seated high above, but a Savior who walks among the people and embraces the broken with love.
• He relies on the strength of the Lord: not through worldly power, but through the gentle and irresistible anointing of the Holy Spirit.
• He reflects the majesty of God: not exalting Himself, but manifesting the truth, justice, and mercy of the Father.
• He brings rest to His flock: not by pressure, but by protection; not through demand, but through embrace. Even in storms, He brings peace.

Spiritual Response:
Today, God is not looking for more stage leaders—but hearts laid on the altar.
Are you willing to be used by Him and become the kind of shepherd after His heart?

  1. He Calls Shepherds to Bring the Scattered Back Home

Micah 2:12
“I will surely gather all of you, Jacob; I will surely bring together the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a pen, like a flock in its pasture; the place will throng with people.”

God’s heart is always with the scattered sheep. He forgets no wounded soul, abandons no wayward child. His call for shepherds is not about building bigger stages, but opening their arms wide—to carry every lost one back into His embrace.
• This anointing is not for your reputation, but for their restoration.
• This oil is not to make you shine, but to bring them healing.

Are you willing to spend a whole day searching for a single weeping sheep?
Are you willing to remain in silence just to hear the sigh of a broken heart?

  1. He Calls You to Break Through—To Go First, So Others Can Come Home

Micah 2:13
“The One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their King will pass through before them, the Lord at their head.”

This is a powerful picture:
The shepherd anointed by God does not walk behind the crowd, but ahead—breaking down spiritual walls and opening the way for others to return.
• The true shepherd is the “breaker of gates” — willing to suffer, so others can be free.
• Not a hidden planner, but a tearful forerunner.

Not everyone is willing to stand on the frontlines.
But God is looking for someone who is—
Someone willing to bleed, to pay the price, to be forgotten—just so His people can walk in freedom.

Are you willing to be that person?
Not walking for applause, but for the sheep to find their way home?

  1. Anointing Falls Only on the Broken — God Looks Not at Skill, but at the Heart

Micah 6:8
“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

The shepherd God truly uses may not be the most gifted, but will always have a soft, surrendered heart.
• Brokenness makes us real: He does not anoint performance, He anoints tears.
• Repentance makes us clean: He’s not focused on our past, but whether we’re willing to start again.
• Walking with Him makes us last: He’s not looking for sprinters, but for those who walk hand in hand with Him, daily.

Prayer Response:
Lord, I don’t want to just preach Your words—I want to be Your voice.
I don’t want to only know Your path—I want to walk it with You.
Let Your oil fall on this broken vessel, so what flows from me is not my words, but Your love.

  1. Conclusion: Will You Be a Shepherd in God’s Hands?

This generation doesn’t lack speakers, leaders, or strategies—
But it lacks shepherds who are willing to weep for one lost sheep.
• God is not asking how capable you are—but if you can hear His heartbeat.
• He is calling those who are willing to pour themselves out, to wait in the night, to weep through the dark—for the sake of His flock.

Will you let Him anoint you?
Not to preach greater sermons or build bigger ministries,
But to walk into the smallest corners of the world and gently say:
“Child, God wants you to come home.”
