Word for the day "Be mindful of the Lord's leaders"

Numbers 12:9 (NIV) The anger of the LORD burned against them, and he left them.Be mindful of not being guilty of trying to sabotage a leader that God has raised in your midst. Leaders are placed by God in business, government, churches - almost every place where leaders are required. When God places a person in position of authority, it is a grievous sin to go against that leadership. God Himself opposes those who come against His leadership.In addition, be mindful that God's leaders are not perfect. They make mistakes. That is why following a leader can require a faith that goes beyond faith in the leader. Our faith lies in the God who elevated the leader to his or her position.Read the story in (Numbers 12) of Miriam and Aaron, the older brother and sister of Moses, had a family dispute about Moses' wife, who was an Ethiopian and Cushite. She most likely was a black woman. We do not know the nature of the dispute, but it was a typical family conflict.However, the family conflict began to impact God's agenda for a nation. They were now meddling in God's business. And the Lord did not like that in the least. God literally brought Aaron and Miriam into a time of correction. He judged both Miriam and Aaron for their rebellion against His ordained leader. "Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?" (Num 12:8).Please read the story and how Miriam was stricken with leprosy and had it not been for Moses' appeal on her behalf, she would have been cast out for good. God gave her a second chance but it required being cast away from the camp for seven days. Miriam and Aaron repented for their rebellion.Point to ponder- If you struggle with a leader that God has over you, pray for that leader. If God wants to remove that leader, our Lord can do it. Think twice about conspiring to remove a leader whom God has not chosen to remove yet.Our Leadership team is especially thankful for those of you who provided financial donations and support in the month of September 2017 by partnering with us in efforts to advance the kingdom of God in this 21st century season: Special thanks to Mr. William Wilson, Mr. David Straker, Mrs. Annette Straker, Ms. Rita McGuffin, Ms. Gertrude Scott Mrs. Barbara Mason and Mrs. Shakeema Lowe.
