For taking your time to study remain blessed.
DO NOT WORSHIP YOUR LEADER
SATURDAY JANUARY 20
TEXT: Acts17:11-12
KEY VERSE: “25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his
feet, and worshipped him. 26 But
Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man” Acts 10:25-26.
The authority in
the name of Jesus is greater than every name, in His name we get healing,
strength, deliverance, peace, joy, victory, progress, and heaven. Never exalt
the name of your General Overseers, Bishops etc above the name of Jesus Christ.
The followings are ways that will help you relate with your Christian leaders
in holiness, righteousness and in the truth of God:
(a). It is good to
submit to and follow the faith of your godly leaders. It is also recommended to
give them godly counsel, gift, love them, and pay them well to encourage them
in the work;
(b). Work
faithfully with your leaders: the reward is according to your work and not
according to your position in the church or ministry;
(c). Do not speak
evil against your leaders. Follow godly way to resolve any grievances and do
not involve others by criticism and evil speaking against your leaders (James
5:19);
(d). Seek your
leaders good and not to hurt them (Titus 3:1-5);
(e). Do not
worship your leader no matter how anointed he/she might be, worship God only
(Rev 22:8-9);
(f). Submit the
leadership of your soul under a leader scripturally proven to be after Christ
and not a sheep in wolf’s clothing (1John 4:1);
(g). Never
consider the sins of your leader to be small thing it shall damn your soul. If he fails to repent abandon him and
treat him as an expired drug (Titus 3:10-11);
(h). Do not seek
spiritual blessing from backslidden leaders or Occult minister or false
prophets- they may impart evil spirit on you;
(i). Do not
support the ministry of ungodly ministers.
The solution to
your problem is solely from God through faith, prayer, fasting, and Christian
devotion in holiness not by worship of a man of God
Thought for the
day: Salvation is in Jesus Christ alone.
Song for the day:
There is none like you…Jesus
Bible reading for the day: Genesis 46-48; Matthew 14:22-36
