Chain of Command
” ‘You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small as well as the great; you shall not be afraid in any man’s presence, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you,
bring to me, and I will hear it.’ ”
Deuteronomy 1:17
God is not a respecter of persons. Here, Moses was setting up precedence for the people to be impartial and to be orderly. He is setting up the chain of command. There is a chain of command in the military; there is a chain of command in the business world, and there is a chain of command in the church.
How many of us make decisions without going through the chain of command? In business, in law enforcement and in ministry, it happens. People take authority. They think because of their position, they can make decisions.
Do not make that mistake. You cannot make decisions without checking with your leaders and those over you. It can cost you. You have to remember this no matter what position you are in, whether it is a business or ministry.
Here in the ministry, I will have to give an account to God one day for everything we do and how we spend His money. Wherever we are, whether it is ministry or in a job, we cannot cheat our employers or employees. Do what is godly and God will honor it, and then God will promote you to the top.
Honor all people. Love the brotherhood.
Fear God. Honor the king.
-1 Peter 2:17-
