Is it just about YOU? (Part 1)
"I" don't like this person
"I" am not happy with the way this person work
"I" think i cannot submit to this person
"I" just don't like the way this person talk
"I..." "I..." "I..."
Is your whole world only about YOU?
Very often i heard complains about this and about that...
Complaining about parents, teachers, CG leaders, class chairman, CCA leaders etc...
i used to be like this too...
but when i was younger, the Lord spoke to me strongly about honoring the people He placed above us...
Romans 13:1-2
1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.
Clearly the Lord spoke to me that ALL authorities comes from ABOVE!
whether i think or feel that they are good or not, it doesn't matter AT ALL!
and because God is the one that ordained them and i give honor to whom honor is due!
For the the benefit of anyone but the bible says that it's for ourselves...
Hebrew 13:17
17 Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.
God placed them over us for a purpose and whether we understand the purpose anot, it doesn't matter too...
Until you have learnt to honor the authorities God have placed over you, that same honor will be given to you.
