THE AUTHORITIES
Romans 13:4 The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong.
There are authorities everywhere you will find yourself. Right from the home, through each level of our education, public places, workplaces, government institutions etc. You may see these people as government officials, teachers, bosses etc. But the bible calls them God's servants. Anyone who is God's servant lives to serve God's purpose. Sometimes they can even be unbelievers but they are serving God's purpose in your life.
The word of God also says they are sent for your good. People in authority have been sent by God for your good. Some are heartless, they won't treat you right, and they make life unbearable for you but once they are in authority the bible says it is for your good. Again those in authority have the mandate to punish those who do wrong. Authorities must punish wrongdoers it is their divine mandate. A lot of flaws in families, institutions, societies and nations can be linked to the failure of those in authority. We must respect and see those in authority God sent and they must also execute their responsibilities for a harmonious society.
Prayer: I pray for wisdom and understanding to submit to those in authority and I also pray for those in authority to arise and perform their duties in Jesus' name. Amen.
