God Requires Peace And Order In His Church
Tuesday 31st March
Text: Judges 21:25, Hebrews 13:17
Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 14:40; Let all things be done decently and in order.
The Lord wants us to be orderly and decent in our ways, both as individuals and as a body of believers. He is not the author of confusion; He is the God of peace and order. That is why He gave us leaders to order our steps according to His ways in His church. In this way, the beauty of Jesus will manifest in His church. Where there is disorderliness and indecency, it will mean either that there is no leadership in the church or that the leadership is weak. When the people do not follow the course of God nor are submissive to leadership authority, it means also that they want to be left to themselves. Where there is no leadership, they will naturally follow any direction they want or do as their hearts desire. When you want to be left to yourself, that is, “Leave me alone to do it my way,” it clearly means you are not under the leadership of God. It shows that you are not in Christ, because any person left to himself is a backslider in heart. If you are a true child of God, you will obey leadership willingly.
Be resolved to obey the leadership God has raised over you and others in the Christian ministry. God sets leadership over His own people so that His sheep should not be scattered for want of shepherds. For you to live this Christian life fruitfully and make it to heaven, you must develop and inculcate discipline into your life. You must cultivate personal Christian discipline. Discipline is the act of self-control and self-direction on the path of righteousness. It is the act of personal orderliness that you bring to yourself because you want to achieve something for God, not for yourself. Despite that, others are working on you for God; you are to work on yourself also to be fit for the race. The Christian race is compared to the profession of a soldier, where both personal discipline and the discipline that the superiors bring upon his life are required to make him a soldier pleasing to his superior, serving the country well. Be personally disciplined and discipline others for order and decency.
