Day 47– Relationship with Leaders
In the Body of Christ God has placed certain
men over you. First there are elders
(overseers) in the body (see Acts 20:17, 28-
31; 1 Peter 5:1-4) and then there are others
who are over you because of special
responsibilities they may have been given in
the fellowship. Look at what Hebrews 13:17,
says about your responsibility to these
Christians.
Do you know the names of the elders and
other leaders in the congregation where you
are? Have you reached out to them in any
way since becoming a Christian? How could
you show them that you have a submissive
attitude toward their leadership and that you
want to make their work a joy and not a
burden?
Does this passage say we have to agree with
everything a leader does before we can
submit to him and obey him?
Make sure you relationships with all your
leaders are good ones. If there is ever any
anger or resentment or hurt in you toward any
of them, don’t put of sitting down with that
leader and opening up your heart. What would
happen in a congregation if this did not
happen?
