Honour For Leaders – Our Obedience
Number 16:13 – Is it not enough that you have taken us from a land flowing with milk and honey, to put us to death in the waste land, but now you are desiring to make yourself a chief over us?
Obedience is the currency for uplifting and promotion. God values obedience and obedience is the first command with a blessing – Ephesians 6:1, 2 Chronicles 20:20.
Those in authority are to be obeyed by their subjects. God didn’t give us any rule to disobey even the heathen leaders; if their actions and command is not against God and the Christian Faith then we are bound to be obedient to them – Hebrews 13:17, Romans 13:1-7.
Summarily, don’t disrespect your leaders even if they wrong you. Talk to them in private not openly and if you can’t, then talk to God so that God will correct them. When you are sent for or given orders by your leaders, obey them even if you are angry with them.
Obedience to leaders is not for the leaders but is for God especially the righteous leaders. Obeying your leaders is obeying God indirectly and disobedience to them is an indirect disobedience to God. Shalom!
