HOW TO OBEY DELEGATED AUTHORITY:
T here comes a time when the welfare of people is HONG in the balance, and a quick decision is needed. There is not time for long drawn out discussions, power struggle and pig-headed mentality. If there is no one in authority that have emergency power, to make a quick decisions, by the time we sought out our differences and know what to do, it will be too late.
We cannot have progress without order, and we cannot have order if there is no one in authority to enforce that order. Even among a pact of mad wolves one has to be the leader of the pact. Among a band of robbers and rapist one have to be the leader, are else they will get caught easily and put into prison. If there is no authority in the schools all hell will let loose. God set up every things in order as it pleases him. We must remember that democracy is good for nations but not for the people of God. We are rule by theocracy, while living in a democratic land. You and I cannot serve God our old way. God want us to obey the powers that are set up because he set them up.
In the affair of men, God set up men in authority. If we refuses to obey man whom we can see, feel and touch, it is a definite sign that we will not obey God whom we cannot see.
1 John 4:20 (KJV) If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
Judges 21:25-AV In those days [there was] no king in Israel: every man did [that which was] right in his own eyes.
FAMINE IS THE RESULT:
GOD SET UP THE POWERS:
GOD RULETH IN THE KINGDOM OF MEN AND IS THE ONE WHO SET UP RULERS AND TAKE THEM DOWN IN HIS OWN TIME:
Daniel 5:21-AV And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling [was] with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and [that] he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
WE ARE COMMANDED TO PRAY FOR THOSE IN AUTHORITY:
EVEN BAD LEADERS ARE ORDAINED BY GOD FOR REBELLIOUS PEOPLE:
DELEGATED AUTHORITY IN THE CHURCH:
1Timothy 5:17-AV Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 1Timothy 5:18-AV For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward. 1Timothy 5:19-AV Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
DELEGATED AUTHORITY IN THE HOME:
1Peter 3:1-AV Likewise, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 1Peter 3:2-AV While they behold your chaste conversation [coupled] with fear. 1Peter 3:3-AV Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning] of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 1Peter 3:4-AV But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 1Peter 3:5-AV For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 1Peter 3:6-AV Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. 1Peter 3:7-AV Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with [them] according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
Romans 7:1-AV Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? Romans 7:2-AV For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to [her] husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of [her] husband.
BEFORE GETTING MARRIED THE MAN MUST FIND OUT IF THE WOMAN BELIEVE IN HIS DELEGATED AUTHORITY:
Galatians 2:4 (KJV) And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
DELEGATED AUTHORITY IN THE WORK PLACE:
Titus 2:9-AV [Exhort] servants to be obedient unto their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering again; Titus 2:10-AV Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. 1Timothy 6:1-AV Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and [his] doctrine be not blasphemed. 1Timothy 6:2-AV And they that have believing masters, let them not despise [them], because they are brethren; but rather do [them] service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort. 1Timothy 6:3-AV If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 1Timothy 6:4-AV He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Colossians 4:1-AV Masters, give unto [your] servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
Colossians 3:22-AV Servants, obey in all things [your] masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
Ephesians 6:5-AV Servants, be obedient to them that are [your] masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; Ephesians 6:6-AV Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
CHILDREN TO PARENTS:
1Timothy 3:4-AV One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
Colossians 3:20-AV Children, obey [your] parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
Ephesians 6:1-AV Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Ephesians 6:2-AV Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) Ephesians 6:3-AV That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
NOT UNTIL EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE BUT UNTIL MARRIAGE:
Mark 10:7-AV For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
Children suppose to be in subjection to their father authority until the children are married, then a new line of authority is now being establish.
WHEN IS IT JUSTIFIABLE TO REBEL AGAINST AUTHORITY?
Daniel 3:14-AV Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, [Is it] true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? Daniel 3:15-AV Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; [well]: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who [is] that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? Daniel 3:16-AV Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we [are] not careful to answer thee in this matter. Daniel 3:17-AV If it be [so], our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver [us] out of thine hand, O king. Daniel 3:18-AV But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
Matthew 4:9-AV And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Matthew 4:10-AV Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Proverbs 24:4-AV And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
Proverbs 11:9-AV An hypocrite with [his] mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
Jeremiah 33:3-AV Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
