*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.

And in the beginning, God created the earth. It means, in the beginning, Love created the earth. So, the earth was created by Love and it is meant to be operated by love.* •Unfortunately, we live in a generation where many people are bankrupt of love.  •It is important, therefore, to understand the major principles of love, that is, what love is all about.  •N...
