SUBMISSION TO CONSTITUTED AUTHORITY

Tayo Onaleye


Genesis 16. 9  And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

Hagar had issues with her employer, Sarah, and Hagar ran away.

God spoke to Hagar to return to her employer and submit.

Ecc 10:4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee,  leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.

1. The God of the BIBLE is a God of order and is not the author of confusion or disorder.

1Co 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

2. Everyone is under one form of authority or the other.

Luk 7:8  For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go,and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth

There are 4 basic forms of authority to the believer:

a. Civil or government......govt/political leaders
b. Corporate/enterprise......business/vocational leaders
c. Family authority......Family leadership
d. Church authority........Church leaders

3. The clear directive of God is that everyone of us must submit to the authority over our lives.

Rom 13:1  Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Tit 3:1  Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

Heb 13:17  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 isunprofitable for you

1Pe 3:1 Likewise, ye wives,  be in subjection to your own husbands;

Eph 6:1  Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right

1Pe 2:13  Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme
14  Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

4. Refusal to submit to the authority over your life is called rebellion.

Numbers 16.12 ISV So Moses sent for Eliab’s sons Dathan and Abiram, but they responded, “We’re not coming.

It is called insubordination.

5. A man who is not under authority is not fit to be in authority.

1Ch 29:24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.

Some of these people were older more influential than Solomon but once Solomon became the king they had to submit to him or else......

The only way they could be in authority within the domain of Solomon was to submit to Solomon.

You can't function within the domain of a leadership you are not submitted to.

6. Anyone who doesn't submit to authority disqualifies herself/himself from higher levels of authority under that leadership.

7. Submission to authority is not based on age, gender, education or such factors. It is based purely on the fact that such an individual is the authority figure.

You may be older and more educated than your employer but by virtue of being your employer she has authority over you.

8. In every sphere, domain or territory the finality of authority always rests on just one person.

Be blessed.

LIFE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING

LIFE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING Tayo Onaleye Psalm 63.8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. The Christian life is a journey with the Master. It's about following Him, His agenda and pattern. 1. FOLLOW JESUS Mat 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He's the Bishop of your soul and the Great Shepherd.  He's the No.1 person to follow. We follow Jesus by following the leading of the Holy Spirit in us and the Word of God. The first calling of the disciple is not to preach but to follow. Mark 3.14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 2. FOLLOW YOUR LEADER Don't hang around a leader you refuse to follow. Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. You can't help the the fellow who refuses to follow. Hebrews 13.17 Obey them that have t...
