Being those who Properly Represent God with His Authority as Ambassadors of Christ

On behalf of Christ then we are ambassadors, as God entreats you through us; we beseech you on behalf of Christ, Be reconciled to God. 2 Cor. 5:20

In the book of Numbers we see that the one who has been appointed by God to be a deputy authority must be a proper representative of God; we need to see the characteristics of those who properly represent God with His authority to His people. This … [Continue reading]

We Experience Christ in His Resurrection as our Authority in the God-given Ministry

October 18, 2019 by aGodMan Leave a Comment

Resurrection is the basis of authority. The basis of God’s appointment of authority is resurrection. The basis of God’s vindication of His appointed authority is resurrection.

In Num. 17 we see God's vindication of His appointed authority, which is the budding rod of Aaron; this shows that we need to experience Christ in His resurrection in the God-given ministry. In Num. 16 we see the general rebellion of the leaders and … [Continue reading]

We need to be Saved from Ambition and from Rebelling against God’s Deputy Authority

October 17, 2019 by aGodMan Leave a Comment

Who being reviled did not revile in return; suffering, He did not threaten but kept committing all to Him who judges righteously. 1 Pet. 2:23

In Num. 12 and 16 of Numbers we see the rebellion against God's deputy authority, how Moses reacted to it, and how God deals with rebellion. In the book of Numbers it seems that there was rebellion after rebellion, from the murmuring of the people … [Continue reading]

Authority and Rebellion: we need to Submit to God’s Authority and Reject Rebellion

October 16, 2019 by aGodMan Leave a Comment

...Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and upon the throne there was One sitting. Rev. 4:2

The unique controversy between God and Satan concerns authority and rebellion; rebellion is the denial of God's authority and the rejection of God's rule, so we as believers should submit to God's authority and uphold it, and we should assert that … [Continue reading]

We Submit to God’s Authority when we Submit to the Delegated Authority He set over us

October 15, 2019 by aGodMan 1 Comment

It is easy today for man to submit to God’s direct authority, but it is not easy to submit to the delegated authority God has appointed. The reason for this is that you may not consider the delegated authority better or stronger than you are….When you come to a local church, the elders there may not have been saved as long ago as you were. They may not be as spiritual as you are, may not have received as much education as you have received, and may not be as capable as you are. But when you are there, you have to accept that delegated authority and submit to it. Witness Lee, The Elders’ Management of the Church, p. 141

In this universe only God is the supreme authority, and all other authorities are delegated authorities, deputy authorities, authorities appointed by God; when we submit to and obey the deputy authority, we obey and submit to God. God is the supreme … [Continue reading]
