YHVH isn\u2019t the author of confusion! YHVH is the author of godly leadership. He prepares and trains leaders and then raises them up to lead his people in the paths of righteousness leading to his spiritual Promised Land.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beware of leaders who raise themselves up and promote themselves. To ensure that we don\u2019t follow unrighteous, self-promoting and greedy leaders, let\u2019s ask ourselves the following questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What is the purpose of righteous leadership? (See Eph 4:11\u201312.)\u00a0<\/li><li>What are the qualifications for leadership ? (See 1\u2009Tim 3:1\u201313.)\u00a0<\/li><li>What is the premise of true, Spirit-ordained leadership? (See Matt 23:11.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many believers have been hurt by kingdom-building, money-grubbing and self-seeking leaders in the church world and now trust no one. They pride themselves on being \u201cindependent.\u201d Is this good? Did Yeshua ever speak of his sheep as being \u201clone rangers\u201d or did he refer to them as \u201ca flock?\u201d Does he ever speak of his flock as being shepherdless?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, Yeshua is the Chief Shepherd, but does he not also speak of undershepherds or humans shepherds who faithfully work under him? (Read John 10:1\u201318.) In this regard, consider the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Isn\u2019t a flock that is under the guidance of a true servant-shepherd of Yeshua a place of safety or harm?\u00a0<\/li><li>Is being outside the flock a place of safety or harm? (See Matt 18:12.)\u00a0<\/li><li>Yeshua says that those who are outside of a flock are \u201clost\u201d and have \u201cgone astray\u201d and are in danger of perishing (Matt 18:11\u201314). Are you part of a literal flock of believers, or have you spiritualized this passage away to justify your independent (rebellious?) spirit against YHVH-ordained authority?<\/li><\/ul>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Can you receive the fact that Elohim is the Author of godly leadership?',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2019\/10\/04\/can-you-receive-the-fact-that-elohim-is-the-author-of-godly-leadership\/',contentID: 'post-15530',suggestTags: 'Leaders',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deuteronomy 31:23, He gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge.
