Moses said the complaints the people were bringing against him were directed at the Lord. Every time we speak against those God has placed in spiritual authority over us, we speak against the Lord. That’s because all authority is from above. The Bible says the unjust despise authority and are not afraid to speak evil of their dignitaries (2 Peter 2:9-11). We are to honour our leaders and show them respect for the position of leadership the Lord has given to them. If we suspect our leaders are not hearing from God correctly, our responsibility is to earnestly pray for them. Along with the weight of responsibility to lead God’s people in His ways, is the reality of the enemies’ intent to steer them off course of God’s perfect will. We do little to help by siding with the devil as we speak against them. If we choose to support our leaders by praying fervently for them, we can confidently trust the Lord to direct them, promote them, or even remove them if they are deliberately disobeying Him. Instead of criticising our spiritual leaders, we should honour them, pray for them and trust the Lord to use them mightily to lead us to a place of knowing God and His ways. This way we can work together as a powerful army – pushing back the force of darkness and advancing God’s kingdom in the earth. Working with our leaders bring a unity that commands great blessing and increase into our lives.
