 Authority.

 

Old, but a goodie

 

A Navy captain was sailing and came upon a big light. He thought it was a ship coming toward him. He was the highest-ranking officer in the U.S. Navy at this particular time. So he got on a big bullhorn and said to the ship behind the light, “Move ten degrees south or we’re going to crash!”

It said, “I shall not move! You move ten degrees north so you don’t crash!”

The captain was getting irritated. He said, “Don’t you know who I am? I am a captain in the United States Navy. I say, ‘You move ten degrees south so we do not crash!’ ”

The voice came back, “I shall not move! You move ten degrees north so that you don’t crash!”

The captain got back on the speaker and said, “Did you hear me say that I am a captain in the United States Navy?”

The voice came back, “Yes, but I am the lighthouse!”

The Word of God must be the authority for the life of the disciple who is living with a kingdom perspective
