Do not rebel against authorities.

Proverbs 24. 21 - 22
Fear the Lord and the king, my son, and do not join with rebellious officials,  for those two will send sudden destruction on them, and who knows what calamities they can bring?

God does not tolerate rebellion. This verse says don't associate with people who rebel against God or the king, meaning authorities. The king would include authorities at your home, work place, country, church or the police for that matter.

What is rebellion? Rebellion simply means opposition against authorities, it means refusing to obey or submit to authorities, it means defiance or resistance. The word says rebellion is like the sin of witchcraft. God and the authorities that He has placed over you, have power over you and they can use their power in a way that you could be very expensive to you. So the word of God, which is the wisdom of God commands us not to rebel and not to associate with those who do because its very expensive.

Rebellion is a result of pride and selfishness. Notice, we don't submit to authorities because they are good or bad, but simply because the word says so. Any time you rebel, you have literally stopped yourself from moving forward in that organisation. Rebellion guarantees stagnation or even demotion. God is never unjust or partial, He is justice in action. Trust Him and do not take the law in your hands. Trust God and He will make a way where there seems to be no way. Be submissive, have a good attitude, be faithful and note, your God is not sleeping. Let patience have her perfect work so that you may be complete and perfect, lacking nothing. Remember, wisdom is the most important thing.
