*GOD SPEAKS THROUGH  AUTHORITIES*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  09 April 2025: Share*


SCRIPTURE: Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your Souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with Joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you -

*Hebrews 13:17*


*One of the reasons God commands us to submit to Higher Authority, is because He speaks through them.*


The Bible says the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water, He turns it wherever He wills - *Proverbs 21:1*


When Jesus was born and Herod was after His life to kill Him, the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream, instructing Him to flee to Egypt with the child and His mother - *Matthew 2:13*


 *The safety of baby Jesus was is Mary's obedience to the instructions Joseph received.*


*Therefore, anyone who wants to hear God must learn to submit to Higher Authority, knowing that every Authority is Ordained by God* - *Romans 13:1*


*Therefore, hearing from God is hearing the Authority He has ordained over us.*


Children should obey their parents, wives should submit to their own husbands, husbands must obey the Lord. Servants must obey their masters and we all must submit one to another - *Ephesians 5:22, Ephesians 6:1, Colossians 3:22*


*Every rebellion against an Authority is rebellion against the Lord.*


*No one can exercise Authority unless he or she is under Authority.* 


Staying in command puts us in command.


*Key Note:*

Anyone who was to hear God must learn to submit to every Authority.


*Prayer:*

Father, I want to hear You, Please help me to submit to every Authority Ordained over me in Jesus Christ Name.
