Read previous STM Devotionals here
When there is a clash of leaders, which one do you follow? Always follow the higher leader. Your recreated human spirit in you is higher than your mind but it is not higher than the Holy Ghost in you. You will hear the still small voice of your recreated human spirit and you will hear the authoritative voice of the Holy Spirit inside you. The recreated human spirit in you is not higher than the Holy Ghost in you. The Holy Ghost in you is not higher than the anointing on the anointed. When there is a written word of God and a direction you’re receiving, follow the higher leader. The word of God, written, is higher than anything you’re receiving now.
When you have the word of God on a matter, the word of God is the leader. If you don’t receive any leading in your heart, you only need to find out what God has said on the matter. The first relationship between us and the Holy Ghost is leading. Most people think that the job of the pastor is to feed the flock, whereas the first relationship of the pastor is leadership. You cannot feed a sheep that does not follow you to the pasture.
When there is a clash of leadership and you are not sure of what your spirit is saying, then go to the Holy Ghost. If you’re not sure how to get it from the Holy Ghost, go to the Anointed. God has this hierarchy of divine leaders for His people and you shouldn’t get it wrong. If you are following prophecy, then don’t follow a prophecy that is directly contradicting the Bible. God can’t tell you anything diametrically opposite to the bible even if you saw it in a dream. The bible is the higher leader.
PRAYER: Lord, your word says as many as are led by the Spirit they are the sons of God. Holy Ghost, I am leadable, lead me in Jesus’ name. Amen.
