LESSONS ON PRINCIPLES: THE FINAL FRONTIER – PART 4
- Our Final Lesson in This Series is Centred on The Principle of Structure. According To the Biblical Pattern, Structure Always Goes First, Followed by Substance, And Ending with The Glory of God’s Tabernacling Spirit. This Principle is True of The Creation, Humanity, The Tabernacle and Temple, And the Church. Take A Few Moments and Share Yor Thoughts About This Pattern. Have You Ever Considered This Order? Are There Any Other Areas in Life Where You Can See This Principle? Why Do You Think That Structure Must Always Go First?
- The Principle of Structure Teaches the Truths of Rank and Capacity, Which Means That God Has Not Placed All on The Same Level nor Has He Graced All with The Same Degree of Responsibilities. How Can We Properly Explain This Truth While Maintaining Our Common Unity as Believers? How Can We Ensure That We Are All Rightly Placed and Stewarding Exactly What God Has Given to Us and No More or Less? If Asked, Could You Explain What Capacity Is and How You Came to the Understanding of Your Own Capacity?
- Submission is a Requirement If Structure Is to Work Effectively, However for Many, Submission Is Not the Easiest Principle to Embrace. Can You Think of Some of the Reasons Why People Struggle with the Act of Submission? Given The Importance of Submission, How Can We Overcome This Struggle? Submission is Designed to Teach Accountability, Which Means That We Are Answerable for All Areas of Our Lives. In Your Daily Life, How Important is Accountability to You? What Are the Areas in Your Life Where You Find Accountability Playing an Essential Role?
- In God’s System of Doing Things, Where There Is Submission There Will Be Accountability [1 Cor. 11:3], And Where There Is Accountability, We Will Find Humility, [Luke 14:8]; And Where There Is Humility There Will Always Be Promotion, [Luke 14:11]. Discuss Whether or Not You Think That We Have This Order Right Within the Faith Community. Do You Find a Prevalence of Humility Within Our Community, And Are We Seeing God Promoting Many as a Result? How Can We Foster Greater Levels of Humility Within Rhema and the Wider Church Body?
