No submission, no promotion!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews
II Kings 3:11
But Jehoshaphat said, “ Is there no prophet of the Lord here, that we may inquire of the Lord by him?” So one of the servants of the king of Israel answered and said, “Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.”
Notice the introduction of Elisha, one of the greatest prophets that ever lived - one who poured water on the hands of Elijah. Elisha submitted to the authority of Elijah. Without submission, there is no promotion.
Every authority in your life is ordained by God. Submission is a voluntary attitude of giving yourself to your authority or putting yourself under your authority to honour them, to serve them, to obey them, to bless them and to pray for them for the glory of God and for the name of Jesus.
"I acknowledge that every authority in my life is ordained by God and I submit to them for the glory of God and for the name of Jesus. Thank you Lord for taking me to the very heights of opulence and prosperity. In Jesus Name, Amen."
