TOPIC: GOD PLACED HOLY LEADERS IN HIERARCHY OVER YOU FOR YOUR GOOD   November  Tuesday 17th

Text: Exodus 18:25–26

Key verse: Exodus 18:21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

God gave to Moses the ability to understand hard issues, but not everybody. That is why you need to be very careful. If you have a leader over you, know that there are matters that will naturally be higher than you. Humbly take them up to him. Do not say, ‘Who is that leader? I know him. He was my classmate. We finished from the same school.’ If God has placed him above you, he has the greater grace. King Jehoshaphat asked the king of Israel, ‘Is there any man here that we may enquire of him?’” Well, we have Elisha the son of Shaphat who poured water on the hands of Elijah.” “The word of God is with him, let us go to him.” 

It is essential to know this so that you don’t despise the hierarchy of leadership, nor despise the person that the Lord has placed over you. Purposefully, the Lord may push hard matters to you to see whether you will obey the scriptures or prove yourself to be a proud man. If you handle such matters carnally and perhaps say, ‘Ah! Am I not also a leader? Has the Lord spoken only by Moses? Has He not also spoken by us?’ Your work will be without reward because you are disorderly and disobedient. 

Note that it is expected of those in lower hierarchy to handle the smaller matters as God gives them grace. Why must you always be looking for Moses when there are people that can hear you? Don’t you want Moses to rest? It would be wrong to be calling on Moses even in the middle of the night and be telling stories that other leaders could have handled. Consult the other leaders on minor issues and let them handle them. 

Do not overwhelm the International Director with incessant phone calls to make him restless on minor matters that your chapter leaders and coordinators can easily handle. You have leaders over you that you can turn to and they will give you the same answers, because the issue in question is a smaller matter. Follow the word of God and consult your leaders. Concerning the anointing in Moses, even when the Lord wanted to raise men to work with Moses, the anointing for those leaders was taken from Moses because Moses actually had the power and the anointing, only that power and anointing still needs wisdom for effectiveness. 

Thought for the day: God has placed leaders over you at various levels for your own good. 

Song for the day: Father Abraham has many sons....

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 16; Hebrews 12

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
