As
Disciples of Jesus Christ, God has called us to be and to remain salts of the
earth (Matthew 5:14-16). Salt is an important element of our daily lives. Salt
is an influencer. Without salt, the real taste of food is lost, but with adequate
amount of salt in food the true taste of food is gained.
As
salts, God has called us to employ our influences to better people and the
world around us. Salt is a preservative and so are Christians (Matthew 24:22). One
of the ways to influence and preserve society is to ensure the enthronement of
Truth and to help people know and be guided by Divine Authority. This is
important considering the fact that many people today think they are, but are
not.
We
live in an era of intense religious activities and of high-impact expressions
of emotions. Without recourse to authority, Christianity has today become an
all-comers’ affair, a place where anything goes. Christianity is a taught relationship
with God, not emotional subjectivism. People need to be reminded that activity
is not productivity and that confession is not possession. Again, people need
to be encouraged to be sure that they are sure of their salvation. At the heart
of all these is AUTHORITY.
I
have been specifically instructed to speak on the topic, “THE DISCIPLE’S GUIDE
AND AUTHORITY.” Two passages of Scripture that speak boldly of authority are Matthew
21:23-25 and Matthew 7:28-29. At Matthew 21:23-25 we read:
“And when he came into the Temple, the
chief priests and elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and asked,
‘By what authority do you do these
things and who gave You this
authority?’ Jesus answered and said to them, ‘I also will ask you one
thing, which if you tell me, I in likewise will tell you by what authority I do
these things -The baptism of John, where did it come from - from heaven, or of
men?”
In
a grand conspiracy, religious leaders of Jesus’ day had confronted Him with the
question, “By What authority?” The
authority issue bothered on two things: what Jesus did and taught. In
other words they had asked, “Why do you
do what you do?” and “Why do you
teach what you teach?” Above all, “What
is the source of your authority?”
To
answer their questions, Jesus asked them, “John’s
baptism, was it from Heaven or from men?” (Matthew 21:25). Caught in the
thicket of their own spin, these religious leaders held a consultative meeting
to decide on how best to respond to Jesus’ question. Knowing that the odds were
against them, they came to Jesus and said, “We
do not know.” (Luke 20:5-7). Why did Jesus use John’s baptism as a test
case? Because God’s purpose is embedded therein, which these religious leaders had
denied and rejected (Luke 7:29-30). These religious leaders, having known the
truth but refused to acknowledge it, Jesus decided not to waste any saliva on
them (Luke 20:8).
Are you like the religious leaders of Jesus’ day who
admitted to not knowing where John’s authority for the things he taught and
practiced came from? One can be forgiven for not knowing the source of John’s
authority, but MAY not be forgiven if he/she does not know the source of
authority for his/her own religious teachings and practices.
To further advance this
discourse, at Matthew 7:28-29 we read:
“And it came to pass, when Jesus had
ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority,
and not as the scribes.”
Jesus
was different. He did not follow the bandwagon. He was not like the Jones and
the Joneses. He did not teach what was popular. He was not the average
prosperity and social preacher. He spoke with authority and finality. He would
prefer to push people into Heaven than to pamper them into Hell. Authority was what defined his teachings
and activities.
AUTHORITY IS AT THE HEART OF THE MATTER
Authority
is at the heart of politics, religion and socio-economic lives of the world. Authority
is what determines whether a person has a right to speak or to act.
In governance, you must have authority to lead. No
one in his right mind wakes up one morning and claims to be a leader. For you
to be married, you must have received the authority to do so. No one in his/her
right mind wakes up one morning and claims that a particular man or woman is
his wife or her husband. There must be an authority for one to be married.
Authority is at the heart of everything we do in
life. If you do not have it, you do not have it. If you have authority, then
you have it!
Do you have authority? Who gave you this
authority?
Issues pertaining to authority are weighty in all
areas of life, but weightier in the realm of Christian doctrine and practice.
To determine the authority with which we do the things we do in Christianity,
we need to ask, “Is it from Heaven or is
it from men?” (Matthew 21:25; cf. James 3:14-17). If it is from Heaven,
then it is from God. If it is from God, then it is found in His Word (Bible).
On the other hand, if an authority is from men, then it is not from God and
cannot be relied upon. Such must be expunged from our religious practices. At Matthew
15:13, Jesus said,
“Every plant, which my
Heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.”
When we go outside God’s Word, we err (Matthew
22:29), thereby making our worship of God to become vain (Matthew 15:8-9).
The question of authority in Christianity is at the
very heart of determining what is pleasing to God and what is not. It also goes
to show whether we are on the path to glory or on the path to damnation.
Christianity is not popularity contest. It has
nothing to do with what people think, say or claim. It has nothing to do with
popularity of a religious organization or of ‘distinguished personalities’ who
are identified with it, BUT it has everything to do with whether its teachings
and activities are in consonance with God’s eternal Will – God’s Authorization.
When a person operates outside God’s authorization,
that individual or organization is on his/her own. Isaiah 8:20 declares:
“To the law
and to the testimony: if they speak
not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”
Are you speaking and practicing in consonance with Law and Testimony? By what authority
do you do the things you do in Christianity today?
WHAT IS AUTHORITY?
Authority is, “The power or right to give command,
enforce obedience, take action or make final decision.” The need to have
authority in the family, society, institutions, etcetera have long been
recognized by our forebears. When there is no authority or standard, confusion
results. When people do not obtain proper authorization for the things they
aver and practice, confusion will become order of the day. To be sure, God is
not identified with any form of confusion (I Corinthians 14:33).
JESUS: THE
DISCIPLE’S GUIDE AND AUTHORITY FOR TODAY
There is no gainsaying that Jesus is our Guide and
Authority. He is God’s Mouthpiece. How do we know? At Matthew 17:1-5 we read:
“After six days Jesus took Peter, James,
and John to a high mountain where he was transfigured. During His
transfiguration, His face shone as the sun, and his clothing was as white as
light. As He was being transfigured, two men, Moses and Elijah appeared to them
and talked with Him. When Peter saw them, he said to Jesus, ‘Lord, it is good
for us to be here: if You would, let us make three tabernacles: one for You,
one for Moses, and one for Elijah.’ While he was still speaking, behold, a
bright cloud overshadowed them: and a voice spoke out of the cloud, ‘This is my Beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased; listen to him.’ ”
Matthew 17:1-5 bears testimony to the fact that Jesus’
is God’s Spokesman for today. This is further attested to by Hebrews 1:1-2,
which says:
“God, Who in times
past and in different ways spoke to the Fathers through prophets, has in these
last days spoken to us by His Son, Whom He has appointed heir of all things, through
Whom He also made the worlds….”
Jesus is God’s Voice for today. He is the disciples’
Guide and Authority. This Authority was conferred on Him when was transfigured.
II Peter 1:17-19 says:
“For He received
from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from
the excellent glory, ‘This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’ And
this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with Him in the holy
mountain. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that
ye take heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn,
and the day star arise in your hearts.”
The most authoritative way that God speaks to His
people today is through Jesus Christ. The most authoritative way that Jesus
speaks to us today is through His Word. Therefore, as Christians, there must be
a book, chapter and verse authorization of everything we do as disciples of
Jesus (I Peter 4:11; Isaiah 8:20).
At Matthew 17:1-5, we see three great men: Moses,
Elijah and Jesus. These Personalities represent three dispensations. Moses
represented the Law, Elijah represented the Prophetic ministry while Jesus
represents Grace (John 1:17). Today, God no longer speaks through Mosaical laws
nor through the prophets, but through Jesus. Speaking of the places of Moses
and Jesus in God’s scheme, Hebrews 3:1-6 says,
“Wherefore,
holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High
Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; who was faithful to him Who appointed
him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. For this Man was counted
worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who builds the house has more
honour than the house. For every house is built by someone; but He Who built
all things is God. Verily, Moses was faithful in all God’s house, as a servant,
for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; but Christ is a Son
over His own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the
rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.”
Moses was a servant in God’s House, but Jesus is the Only Begotten Son in
God’s House. In view of this, when a servant in a house speaks and the Son of
the house speaks, who would you listen to? Obviously we must listen to the Son
than to the servant. At Deuteronomy 18:18-19, God Himself told Moses:
“I will raise
them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my
words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which
he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”
Today, everything revolves around Jesus Christ. He
is the epicenter of God’s dealings with man. As far as Christianity is
concerned, anything we do – if it does not come from Jesus or centered around
Jesus, then we are being mistaken. II John 9 – 11 is so particular about this
when it warns:
“Whosoever
transgresses, and abides not in the Doctrine of Christ, does not have God. He who
abides in the doctrine of Christ, has both the Father and the Son. Therefore, if
anyone comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into
your house, nor bid him Godspeed: For anyone who bids him Godspeed is partaker
of his evil deeds.”
Error is not only dangerous to the person who
propagates it, but also to the person who subscribes to it. To avoid
jeopardizing your soul in eternity, you must endeavour to ensure that you do
not accept line, hook and sinker whatever anyone presents to you as an
acceptable practice in Christendom. You must be like the Bereans who “searched the Scriptures daily to see
whether what they were taught were exactly so” (Acts 17:11).
I concede to the fact that people are honest and zealously
religious. However, being religiously zealous and honest are no guarantee to
being on God’s Good Books. Romans 10:1-3 says,
“Brethren, my
heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I
bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish
their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness
of God.”
Partial knowledge is a dangerous phenomenon in
Christianity. Writing on page 16 of Grace and Truth Magazine, June 1999, T.
M. Clement Jr. wrote:
“Those who have set a truth apart, have
truth in part and from the Truth depart.”
There is a danger out there. Appolos was a “powerful
preacher who spoke powerfully about Jesus, but was only partly informed about
Him. He only knew about Jesus, but did not know what Jesus taught. It took the
combined efforts of Priscilla and Aquila to deliver him from error. Acts
18:24-26 tells us:
And a certain
Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the
scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord;
and being fervent in the spirit, he spoke and taught diligently the things of
the Lord, knowing only the baptism of
John. And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and
Priscilla had heard, they took him aside, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
Some
people desperately need the Appolos’ treatment – they need to be “taught the Way of the Lord more perfectly.”
Are you that man or woman?
VARIOUS FALSE BASIS OF AUTHORITY IN CHRISTIANITY
One of the greatest warnings found in Scripture is
in Colossians 2:8. Here, Holy Spirit warns:
“Beware lest
any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of
men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”
Human beings in their confusion have been holding on
to anything in sight as sources of authority in Christianity. Proliferation of
authority sources has become order of the day. To some people, their authority
in Christianity are:
Church Synods and Annual Conventions
To be
sure, church Synods and conventions are traditions of men, which have become
enthroned over and above God’s ordained precepts. Synods and conventions are
where religious legislations are made. This makes nonsense of men’s supposed
“worship of God.” At Mark 7:7-9, 13 our Lord Jesus Christ:
“Howbeit in
vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men….For
laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men,…. Full well,
ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. Making
the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered:
and many such like things do ye.”
Truth is: religious
legislation is not a reliable authority in Christianity.
Church Creeds
Various creeds abound. Men
and women subscribe to creeds and hold them as if they are God’s Word. Apostles’
Creed, Nicene Creed, etcetera are not reliable authority. Why? Because, all
creeds written by men either contains too little or too much to be the Will of
God. We are warned in I Corinthians 4:6, “Not
to go beyond that which is written in Scripture.”
Human Headship of Churches
Archbishop, Primate, Priest, Pastor, General Overseer,
etcetera. Jesus remains the only Head of the Church. Thus far, He has not
relinquished that authority to any man or woman. Men and women can head their
religious organizations which they founded or were founded by their forebears,
but Jesus remains Head of His own Church. Colossians 1:18 says, “And he is the head of the body, the church:
who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might
have the preeminence.”
Majority Rule or Voting (Proverbs 14:12; Matthew 7:13)
To some people, their authority in Christianity lies
on what majority have said. This is usually followed by voting for or against. God
warns us against following majority (Exodus 23:2).
Visions, Dreams and Revelations
Do not trust prophets and prophetesses; dreamers and
those who claim to see visions and hear from God. No one is exempted from
dreaming. Go ahead and dream your dreams, but avoid equating your dreams with
God’s Inerrant Word. At Jeremiah 23:25-32 God says,
“I have heard
what the prophets said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, ‘I have dreamed,
I have dreamed.’ How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who
prophesy lies? Yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own hearts; who
cause my people to forget my name by their dreams, who tell every man to his
neighbour, as their fathers had forgotten my name for Baal. The prophet who has
a dream, let him tell his dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word
faithfully. ‘What is the chaff to the wheat?’ says the LORD. ‘Is not my word
like as a fire?’ says the LORD; ‘and like a hammer that breaks the rock in
pieces? Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, who steal
my words every one from his neighbour. Behold, I am against the prophets, saith
the LORD, who use their tongues, and say, He said. Behold, I am against them who
prophesy false dreams, says the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to
err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet, I did not send them, nor
commanded them: therefore, they shall not profit this people at all,’ says the
LORD.”
Any prophecy, revelation, dream or vision by any man
or angel contrary to the revealed Will of God in the Bible is not acceptable. At
Galatians 1:6-8 Apostle Paul declared:
“I marvel that
you are so soon removed from Him who called you into the grace of Christ unto
another gospel: which is not another; but there be some who trouble you, and
would pervert the Gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven,
preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him
be accursed.”
Personal
Feelings and Conscience
Feelings and consciences are not reliable guides
(Proverbs 14:12). Assumption is a deadly
error. Do not follow your heart. You can only do so in matters of love, but not
on matters of Faith. You should never see things from your own perspective or
from other people's perspectives but from God's own perspective. What you and
others see and say do not really matter or count, but what God sees and says
are what really matters.
Your feelings cannot direct your life (Jeremiah
10:23). Saul of Tarsus was one man whose conscience misled him even as he was
killing Christians (Acts 23:1; cf. John 16:2).
BE WARNED
On the Last Day, you will
stand alone before God to answer for yourself (Romans 14:12). No man, Synod,
Church Council, Creed, Human Headship: Pastor, G. O, Priest, Bishop, Prophet,
etcetera will answer for you. You will be judged exclusively by God’s Word through
Jesus Christ (John 12:48).
TRUE BASIS OF
RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY
All authority in Heaven and on Earth are in Jesus.
At Matthew 28:18 Jesus announced triumphantly,
“… All
authority in heaven and on earth have been given to me. Therefore, go and make
disciples of all nations…. ”
It is only Jesus Who has the final word and remains
God’s spokesman for today (Matthew 17:1-5; Hebrews 1:1-3). Absolute adherence
to Jesus’ teachings is what really determines whether we are acting right or
wrong (John 8:31). Reliance on Jesus’ doctrine shows whether we are His or not,
and whether we enjoy God’s pleasure or are abhorred by Him (II John 9-11).
“BY WHAT
AUTHORITY…?” – IMPERATIVE FOR THE HOUR
Having established that all authority are in Jesus
and that God’s Word is found only in Bible, we now ask, “By what authority do
you:
Establish Denominations?
Jesus promised to build His Church (Matthew 16:18). God’s
Word condemns in totality proliferations of Christian religious organizations
known today as “denominations” (I Corinthians 1:10-14). God has only One Flock
and remains Shepherd of only One Flock (John 10:16). There is only one Body (Ephesians
4:4). That Body, without controversy, is the Church (Colossians 1:18). So, by
what authority do you have in establishing denominations and calling it
whatever name that meets your fancy?
Appoint Women
Pastors?
At I Corinthians 14:34-38, God’s Word speaks
unequivocally against appointment of “Women pastors” and the like:
“Let your women keep silent in churches: for they
are not permitted to speak; but they are commanded to
be under obedience, as also says the Law. If they will learn anything, let them
ask their husbands at home: for it is a
shame for women to speak in the church.
What? Did God’s Word come out from you? or did it come to you only? Therefore,
if any man thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge
that the things that I write to you are the commandments of the Lord. But if
any man be ignorant, let him remain ignorant.”
Reiterating this stance, God’s Word at I Timothy
2:8, 11-12, Apostle Paul says:
“I will
therefore that men pray every where,
lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to
usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”
Considering the above Biblical statements, the
question, therefore remains: by what authority then do people appoint women
pastors? And by what authority does a woman have to refer to herself as “Pastor”?
Infant, Sprinkling and Pouring as Baptism?
Scripturally, baptism is not
meant for infants or children, but for believing adults and those who have
reached the age of accountability. Nowhere in Bible do we find children and
infants being baptised, only adults were. Baptism is a burial in the watery
grave (Romans 6:3-5). It requires going down and coming up out of a body of
water (immersion, Acts 8:38-39). Baptism requires “Much water,” not sprinkling or pouring (John 3:23). Baptism is a burial (Colossians 2:12).
Use of Musical Instrument in Christian Worship? (Amos 5:23; Amos 6:5).
At Amos 6:5, God accused “David of Inventing instruments of music”
in His Worship. Was this allegation true? What had David to say to this
accusation? At I Chronicles 23:5 and II Chronicles 7:6 David admitted that he
was the inventor of musical instruments in Old Testament worship (see also
Psalms 150).
At I Chronicles 23:5 he
admitted:
“ ‘Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the
LORD with the instruments which I made,’
said David, to praise therewith.”
At II Chronicles 7:6 we
read:
“And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with
instruments of music of the LORD, which
David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endures
forever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets
before them, and all Israel stood.”
Yes, King David encouraged
the use of instruments of music in Divine worship in the Old Testament. However,
in the New Testament, teachings and use of Christian Music are purely
A-cappella (Singing without any accompaniment of mechanical instruments (Matthew
26:30; Acts 16:25; I Corinthians 14:15; Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16;
Hebrews 2:12; Hebrews 13:15; James 5:13).
No where in the New
Testament is the use of instrumental music commanded, taught or used by and among
Christians. Jesus did not command it. Holy Spirit did not authorize it.
Apostles and early Christians did not use it. Since these were so, by what
authority then do people use musical instruments in today’s Christian worship?
Payment of Tithe?
Originally, payment of Tithe
was commanded by God for the care and wellbeing of Levitical priesthood who did
not receive any landed inheritance among Israelites (Numbers 18:20-24). The
tithes paid were to feed Levitical priests (Malachi 3:8-10).
Of all the tribes of Israel
and nations of the world, it was only Levites who were authorized to accept
tithes payments (Hebrews 7:5). However, because the Levitical Priesthood was ineffective
and imperfect, God changed the Priesthood as well as laws and regulations
guiding them, which includes tithing. Hebrews 7:11-12, 18 states:
“If, therefore,
perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received
the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the
order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed, there is
made of necessity a change also of the law. ….For there is verily a
disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and
unprofitableness thereof.”
There is no Levitical priest
anywhere in the world today, which attests to the fact that it has been
abolished by God. According to God’s Word, no one has authorization to receive
tithes from anybody today. Since this is so, by what authority do people pay
and receive tithes today?
Harvest and Bazaars?
Harvest and Bazaar sales, as
instituted by churches in Christendom are nowhere authorized by Scripture. They
are merely avenues concocted by men and women to further rob church members.
According to God’s Word, Church premises are not meant for “buying and selling”
which go on in various Christian religious organizations today. When people
tried that in Jesus’ era, He became angry and drove them away. Matthew 21:12-13
tells us:
“And Jesus
went into the temple of God, and cast
out all those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of
the moneychangers, and the seats of them who sold doves, and said to them, It
is written, ‘My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it
a den of thieves.’ ”
Celebration of Christmas and Easter?
Modern Christianity has
become feasting religion of all sorts. In Galatians 4:9-10, God’s Word declares:
“Ye observe
days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have
bestowed upon you labour in vain.”
There is only one feast or
celebration authorized by Jesus in the New Testament for His Disciples. Christmas,
New Year, Easter and the likes were not part of it. We are only commanded to
celebrate the death of Jesus Christ (Matthew 26:26-28; I Corinthians 10:16; I
Corinthians 11:23-28). We are not commanded to remember His Birth (Christmas) or
His Resurrection (Easter). Unfortunately, what Jesus commanded is not being done
the way He has instructed that it should done, but what He has not commanded is
celebrated to high heavens and with fanfare. At John 14:15, Jesus said, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” In
view of this, again we ask, “By what authority are people celebrating
Christmas, New Year and Easter today?”
DETERMINING
BIBLICAL AUTHORITY
1. To know whether there is a
Biblical authority for a teaching or practice, you need to ask: “Is it
according to the Bible? Which book, chapter and verse can it be found?
2. God has always insisted on
our being true to His instructions (Hebrews 8:5). True servants of God have
always maintained a “Thus saith the Lord” attitude (Exodus 8:27; I Corinthians
4:6). Those who did not remain in God’s instructions suffered great loses when
they decided to follow their own initiatives (Leviticus 10:1-2; II Samuel 6:3-7;
cf. I Chronicles 15:13-15).
3. If Jesus did not teach it, Apostles
did not command or practiced it and not even an example of it could be found
any where in the teachings of Jesus (New Testament), then it is of men, and the
best anyone could do is to repent of such teachings and practices.
4. Be like the Bereans who painstakingly
checked what they were taught against what was written in God’s Word to see if
they agreed (Acts 17:11).
5. Demand for Bible proof (I
Thessalonians 5:21). Do not accept anything you are taught line, hook and sinker.
Always demand for Bible authority.
OUR APPEAL
I would like to make this appeal: if a teaching or
religious practice is not found in the “Whole
counsel of God” (Acts 20:27), neither in the “things pertaining to life and godliness” (II Peter 1:3) nor in the
“Faith once delivered” to Saints (Jude
v.3), then it does not enjoy God’s authority.
The only way you can be sure that you have God’s
authority is when you teach and practice by His authorization. Anything short
of this is mere waste of time and amounts to “vain worship.” Please, be sure that you are sure.
There is a group of Christians who are working hard
to ensure that what they believe, teach and practice are by God’s authority. They
are not interested in fables and story-telling, but on the sure Word of God.
You are encouraged to study and worship with CHURCH OF CHRIST near you.
God bless you!
