IGNORING YOUR HEAD?



READ: ESTHER 1:3-12
“If you see the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regards; and there be higher than they” (Ecclesiastes 5:8).
Psalm 91:1 says that there is a head that is above all heads. His name is the Most High. He never compromises His position because He is a jealous God. He is the Higher than the highest of men and spirits. God does not permit two captains in a boat. You can be head over your family, school, business, church, state or nation but remember there is a head above you. You must recognize Him by listening, observing and putting into practice His Word. In other words, whenever He gives you instructions, you must obey in a manner that shows you recognize Him as the One who made you a head in the first place.
The Most High can make a head become a tail like it happened to king Saul. God made him a king. But when he would not recognize he had a head over him, God withdrew from him, and demons began to torment him. It is a terrible thing for a head to become a tail! Saul became a tail because he could no longer obey God totally. Every level of disobedience moves you inches away from headship. The fellow, who continues to disobey, will eventually end up a tail. You shall not be a tail in Jesus name. Do you recognize that you have ahead? Do you recognize God as your head?
Ecclesiastes 5:8 says if you recognize God as your head, it will show in your conduct as well as in handling your subordinates. If you oppress your ministers or workers, it is obvious you do not recognize God as head. If you utilize your position, wealth, anointing and other resources to oppress the poor, needy, less privileged, your spouse, children or church members, it shows you have rejected your head. You are a lord to yourself! You are out of the government of Jesus Christ. Christ and you cannot be lord of your life at the same time. Such a fellow is treading the path Satan trod. He is saying, ‘I want to raise my own throne above the throne of God.’ Such a fellow would know he has reached the peak of ascension. His descent has begun. Are you becoming too proud, self-willed, and beyond advice, counsel or control? Repent now and humbly reconnect with Jesus so that your ascension will never end.
MEMORIZE: ROMANS 14:12 –So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
