                DON'T PLACE YOUR CHURCH UNDER A CURSE
The church is a spiritual house where spiritual laws operate. These spiritual laws must be taken seriously. One of such law is found in Hebrew 7:7. There, Apostle wanting to proof that Melchizedek was greater than Abraham refers to how the former bless the later. And Paul went on to say, ''without controversy, the less is blessed of the greater.
  This is a strong spiritual law church founders who want their children or wives to succeed the must be wary of. Don't make your child who was born while some elders in the church were already pastors to become their head. it is confusion. Elders are those who must be appointed to head the church. How do you know elders since it is not by age or how long? You know those to give leadership positions through these three ways:
   1) By casting a die. The Apostles in Acts 6 used this method. Although traditional, it is more reliable than hand-peaking. Casting of die could mean, in our present time, secret or open balloting.
   2) Asking from God. Since we all assume to hear God, this method is more reliable. This process was used in the choice of David. Remember that despite the anointing upon Samuel, he made a wrong choice (cons. 1Sam. 16:4-13).
    3) Using those who grow through the ranks. This was the method used in Acts 6 by the Apostles in the appointment of deacons. Use those who have served over the years, the experienced ones.
     These are the three biblical methods of appointing Christian elders. Never you place your child or wife over there superior. It is spiritually unhealthy. Their academic attainment or eloquence does not matter. This is a spiritual matter, and ‘no one takes the honour upon himself.’ (Heb. 5:4).
