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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
