Therefore, authority is a means, not an end. Furthermore, authority increases accountability. Authority means submission. No one but God derives authority from himself. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.
Authority means service .
Whom God puts in authority, He puts in service. The sheep hear His voice. Learn to listen to the Shepherd at the beginning of the day, through the day, and at the end of the day. The sheep follow Him. Study His life to see how you ought to live.
