The elect ought to study their Pastor and grasp the essence of his spirit. He conveys his experience with God in little stories from life, making his counsel practical and wise. "Moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, sought out, and set many proverbs in order" (Ecclesiastes 12:9). The words of God's ministry speaks unto us "are spirit, and they are life" {that provides eternal life}. (John 6:63.) It is folly to ignore the advice of a man of God.
