SCRIPTURE:

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God (Romans 13:1)

DEVOTIONAL:

Beyond the visible leadership qualities expressed in leaders, from gifting to instincts, is a spiritual component, a spiritual authority that drives vision, values and judgment. The Bible says, “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God” (Romans 13:1). Originally, from the time of Adam, leaders were to be empowered by their connection to the divine wisdom and strength of their Creator; some refer to Him as an “Overlord.” An overlord is defined as “a lord over other lords; an absolute supreme ruler.”
