Authority

I have seen so many times people who have been rise to a higher position title and later they think they are higher than anyone. I recently had a problem where I was the leader of a youth group. They had sent someone from a higher title than I was to help in my group. This person was making decisions without consulting me or the elite group. Once she started to make decisions on her own the group was going down because the youth that were in the group did not know if to listen to me or her. So we try to talk and tell the youth what we were going to do than she stopped us and said no and told us off in front of the youth. After the meeting was over the elite talk to her, by the way she was talking and the excuses she was putting it seem as if she didn’t want us to tell her what to do. Many times we have to speak up although that person might get mad but you did your part with God and that’s what we need to worry about.


 We sometimes forget that it's not that person who is talking to us but the Lord through that person. We need to be humble at all times. We have to respect the anointing that person has because God put's us in a certain place so we can be use and we don’t have to question why God put that person there. “Everyone has to submit himself to the authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted…”(Romans 13:5). So God tells us to submit to the authorities and of course there is always going to be consequences to what we do.
