CHRISTIAN ADMINISTRATION IN HOLINESS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN.

FRIDAY 25TH MARCH

CHRISTIAN ADMINISTRATION IN HOLINESS 

TEXT: 2 Samuel 23:1 – 3

Key verse: Deuteronomy 1: 16: Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgement is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.

David served his generation well. He walked in the principles of God. He said God put these principles in his mouth to tell them. He that ruleth over men must be just; ruling in the fear of God. Paul also presented this principle. The royal law says, “Do to others what you want them to do to you (Matthew 7:12). Masters and employers of labour should deal with their subordinates and employees according to justice and equity knowing that ye have a master in heaven that will mark your record. The emphasis here is truth and justice. 

Ephesians 6: 9; "And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him." 

Colossians 4:1, "Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven"

Ours is a growing ministry. We know that multiplication in thousands is coming to us. If there are thousands of people in a place, certainly, there must be sound administration if we are to affect their lives with the gospel. Human beings usually struggle for attention in any gathering. To share food, you must do it well. Jesus made the multitudes to seat in the fifties, the number of people fed was known and the baskets of fragments left were given. I pray that God will make us able to cater for the crowds He is bringing to us. The appointment meant of able leaders is a prerequisite to sound Christian administration. 

In administering over the people leaders should ensure the following: 

1) Give heed to hear. If there are witnesses, hear them out as well; 

2) Judge righteously. Do not favour or side-line anyone. Do justice to strangers among you. 

3) Do not respect persons in judgment: don't be partial in favour of the rich; 

4) Hear small as well as great matters; 

5) Do not be afraid of the face of men: don't favour the angry man; 

6) When a matter is greater than you, avoid pride but refer it to your superior. Usually, hospitals refer cases above them to higher hospitals for proper attention. Be diligent in your duty.

Thought for today: Employ sound administration in your jurisdiction for equity and justice.

Song for the day: I want to be like Daniel to follow Jesus Christ 

Bible reading for the day:
