God's Covering @ Protection - By Rev Philip Lau
God has established 4 authorities on earth to protect His children. And this morning we want to know how we can avoid any loophole from our enemies.
1) Institution of the family
This authority is given to the husband @ father. The children have to submit the father and the wife to the husband. The husband must take the leadership of the family. Many husband have given the management of the home to the wife. If the husband does not play his role, this will cause a loophole. The same goes if the family members do not submit to the head @ the husband @ the father.
Ephesians 5:22-25 - 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her.
Wife must submit to the husband in everything. And the husband must love the wife regardless of how the wife is. If the husband does not know how to love the wife and the wife does not know how to submit to the husband, then the children will not know how to submit to their parents.
Children must see the example of the parents.
Disobedient is sin that open door for Satan to attack us. If the family members learn to obey the Word of God, they are blessed.
2) Authority of the Government
It is established to protect its people.
Bad government or good government still better than no government.
Romans 13:1-7- 1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. 5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.
If we go against the authority, we are actually go against God.
We need to pray for our government.
3) Authority of the Employer / School
4) Authority of the Church
The conclusion is, no matter where we are, we are to submit to all authority. Because authority are given by God.
Amen!
