Read: Num. 16-17
Anyone who wants to complain about who God sets up as our leaders needs to read Numbers 16; it will put the fear of God in you. It is hard for us to remember that God puts all men in authority. Our president was put there by God and we need to honor his position and God’s choice. Korah, Dathan, abiram and On were jealous of Moses and wanted his position. There names respectably mean: ice, derivation, lofty, and iniquity. They were principalities that were rising up to rule. Moses sent them back to the pit where they belonged. The devil stood up and tried to usurp God’s authority and he and a third of the angels were thrown from heaven to earth to become demons.
The devil hates leaders of God. He is so jealous of their position because he was once one of God’s leaders. His jealousy led to his demise and he wants the same result for all the leaders so he will plant jealousy in the heart of the people so they will try to destroy their leaders. It happens all the time and many churches are split because of this very thing.
Moses had to give them a supernatural sign from God to prove that he wasn’t the leader on his own initiative. God chose him and he was being obedient to his calling. Aaron was also.
Lord, help us to honor our leaders even if we don’t respect their decisions.
