Faith relationship continued…
Faith submits to the leadership of the Lord. Especially those anointed as leaders in the Kingdom of the 5 fold ministry.
To be honest I have had a submission problem. Even when it has come down to submitting to leadership and the Lord at times in my life.
The Lord would speak to me or use my Pastor at the time and I would balk, fight, complain, wear myself down in my emotions and logic to the point of just wanting it all to end. Honestly I had worked myself to the lowest of low fighting.
Fighting the Lord is a loosing battle and you would think I would have learned that after just once. But, no I didn’t learn it. It has taken another serious battle to say chick you better sit down and humble yourself.
They will walk after the Lord , He will roar like a lion; Indeed He will roar And His sons will come trembling from the west.
Hosea 11:10 NASB
Pastors and any other leader has been anointed by God to do a job. They were called to that job to serve a kingdom purpose. I heard it said once that to be a leader you must learn to follow well. Jesus walked after the Father. Paul walked after Jesus. We too are to follow those predecessors as they have followed the Lord.
It is by them that we learn and grow into the image and likeness of Christ. It is by that example we can find our kingdom purpose and set out to fulfill it.
Elisha followed Elijah and asked for a double anointing of what Elijah had following God. He wanted to reach more and do more in His time for kingdom purpose.
There is one faith and that is in the Lord Jesus that He was the only begotten son of God and that He died for our sins and rose again so that we may know eternity with Him.
This is our example of faith and living. Our leaders sacrificially follow Him on the regular as we are growing to also as we journey on this road of faith. May we and especially me learn to continue to humble myself and follow them as they follow Christ.
