SUBMIT TO LEADERSHIP IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

For taking your time to study remain blessed

TOPIC: SUBMIT TO LEADERSHIP IN RIGHTEOUSNESS November  Tuesday 3rd

Text: Numbers 8:9 –11

Key verse: Numbers 3:45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the LORD. 

We are serving God, but we are doing so under a leader. It is the will of God that men serve under leaders. If you think you are too great to serve under a leader, you have missed divine plan. If you lack the ability to humble yourself under leaders, you have missed it. It is either you have not come to Christ or you have lost the grace you received. Christ is humble. He was born in a humble place. Christ submitted Himself to be led by men for some time but you feel too big, too great and too high to submit. Note that going to heaven is a serious matter. 

Every minister that claims to have a ministry should consider this: How do you know that you have a ministry? Have you understood the future of the ministry? It is not in a man that walketh to direct his steps; so, be very careful that you don’t take over the direction of your ministry by yourself. You will not make it because man cannot lead himself. Allow God to lead you because there are many things about that ministry you do not know. 

The Lord is the One that has your ministry in His hand and directs it to wherever He wants. Be sensitive to know where God is leading. Be very sensitive because He is leading you on the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Where He is guiding you, He is more interested in righteousness than achievement. He is more interested in your holiness than your achievement, hence He guides you on the path of righteousness for His name’s sake. Follow Him. Be sure that you are not stubborn to divine guidance. Be sure that you seek and know His mind well and follow Him as He has told you. As we see this done in the world, so is it also required in the Church, that there should be leaders. Levites are servants in the temple serving God. To serve our God, you must be clean. Be clean in your mouth. Don’t be a liar. Be clean in your heart. Don’t hate people, keep malice or bear grudges. Do not lust after people, men or women. Do not be proud in your heart. Lies and pride should be cleansed out of your life.

Thought for the day: Serve in righteousness and purity. 

Song for the day: I will go with Jesus everywhere, no matter the roughness of the road...

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 36-37; Philemon

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
