When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. Prov 29:2 KJV

Today's reading centers on the righteous being in authority which is a joyous thing to the masses. But before considering authority as a place of headship or leadership, let's carefully note the nitty gritty of authority as explained in the gospel. The merciful centurion in Matt 8:9 needing healing for his "common" servant asked the Lord's presence then later changed his mind not bother Him but to speak His word only and everything would be alright. He said,

"For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it."

Now, authority is a form of power, dominion earned by life. The centurion being a soldier who'd learned to obey authority saw no reason any soldier under him would withstand or refute his authority. The centurion by his life of obedience, consistently, became an authority whose life could not be resisted or put out!

On the other hand, when people love their "humble" selves they don't obey instructions, even properly constituted authorities. They end on the wicked side of God. And when such persons eventually find their way up, to places of authority, to sitting above others, their subjects the masses automatically begin to pray, pray, mourn, cry, weep, wail and spend their entire productive lives praying to God.

Ten Words At Calvary.mp3 audio download HEBREWS 1:1-14 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,  2  has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.  3  His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,  4 having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.  5  For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?” 6  When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”  7  Of the angels he sa...

Do not turn to the right or the left, remove your foot from evil. Proverbs 4:27 NKJV Day 4, Right Or Left.mp3 DAY 4, RIGHT OR LEFT The Lord gave a similar command or statement when He was commissioning Joshua. Jos 1:7 says, " Only be strong and very courageous that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you, do not turn from it to the right hand or the left, that you may prosper wherever you go ". Doing the will of God, the righteousness of God is not about the rights or wrongs, not turning the left or the right but simply doing the will of the Father. Isaiah 30:21 says, " Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it, whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left" . Following God is not about having a set of rules of dos and don'ts or ever and never or living anyhow thinking the grace of God is always available but following His voice - voice leading. An...
