to a Word of Wisdom if you're not already subscribed go ahead and subscribe like the video and turn on notifications to keep up to dat with the word of God let me ask you this what happens when you stand against God's chosen leaders what happens when Pride causes you to believe that your way is better than God's plan kora's story in the Book of Numbers is a vivid warning to all who would rise in Rebellion against God's appointed Authority aora was not an outsider he wasn't a stranger to God's people he was a levita part
of the tribe responsible for the holy things of God he had a position of Honor a purpose that was divinely assigned but Kora wasn't content with his role he wanted more he looked at Moses and Aaron the men that God had chosen to lead the nation of Israel and he thought why them why should they have all the authority we are all holy before God why can't I lead numbers 16:3 reveals kora's heart they came as a group to oppose Moses and Aaron and said to them you have gone too far the whole Community is
Holy every one of them and the Lord is with them why then do you set yourselves above the Lord's assembly can you hear the arrogance Cora believed that he could do a better job than Moses he believed that he could take the role of leadership that God had given to someone else and this is where the seed of rebellion begins in the heart that questions God's order when you rebel against the leaders that God has placed in your life you are not simply rejecting their Authority you are rejecting God's Authority this is no small matter
chosen ones this is a dangerous road that leads to destruction the word of God is clear Pride goes Before Destruction a hay spirit before a fall Proverbs 16: 18 accor's rebellion was not just an act of defiance it was an act of Pride he believed that he deserved more than what God had assigned him he wasn't satisfied with his role he coveted the role of Moses and Aaron and that Pride was the beginning of his downfall numbers 16: 31-33 tells us what happened next as soon as he finished saying all this the ground under them
split apart and the Earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households and all those associated with Kora together with their possessions they went down alive into the realm of the Dead with everything they owned the Earth closed over them and they perished and were gone from the community let this be a warning to you Rebellion leads to destruction it may not happen immediately but it is inevitable the moment you allow Rebellion to take root in your heart you set yourself on a path that leads to ruin but why why is rebellion so dangerous
because it is a direct challenge to God's Authority when you reject the leaders that God has placed in your life you are essentially saying I know better than God I can choose better than God and that kind of prideful thinking will always lead to destruction chosen ones I urge you today to examine your heart is there Rebellion lurking in the corners of your soul have you questioned The Authority that God has placed in your life have you allowed Pride to convince you that you know better if so I plead with you repent turn away from
the path of rebellion before it leads you to destruction let's dig deeper into the heart of kora's Rebellion at the root of his Defiance was a deadly sin pride pride is subtle it doesn't always announce itself with a loud voice it often starts as a quiet thought a whisper in your mind that says you deserve better you should be in charge you're just as good as they are maybe even better this is exactly what happened to Kora Shor was not a man without purpose he had been given a significant role within the tribe of Levi
he was part of the group responsible for the sacred things of God but that wasn't enough for him he wanted more he wanted the position of Moses and Aaron he wanted to be the leader he wasn't content with what God had given him and so he allowed Pride to take root in his heart pride is a dangerous thing chosen ones it blinds you to the truth it makes you believe that you are entitled to more than what God has given you it convinces you that you know better than the leaders God has appointed and if
left unchecked Pride will destroy you Proverbs 11:2 warns us when pride comes then comes disgrace but with humility comes wisdom kora's Pride led to his disgrace he believed that he could rise up against God's chosen leaders and come out Victorious but instead he was swallowed by the Earth his his pride was his downfall but it wasn't just Kora who suffered the consequences of his pride Numbers Chapter 16:32 tells us that the ground opened up and swallowed not only Kora but also his household and all those who had followed him Pride doesn't just destroy you it
destroys everyone around you when you allow Pride to take root in your heart it doesn't just affect you it affects your family your friends your community let me ask you this where has Pride taken root in your heart have you allowed Pride to make you believe that you deserve more than what God has given you have you allowed Pride to cause you to rebel against the leaders that God has placed in your life if so I urge you to humble yourself before the Lord Pride will always lead to destruction but humility brings wisdom and favor
with God Jesus himself gave us the ultimate example of humility Philippians 2: 5-8 says in your relationships with one another have the same mindset as Christ Jesus who being in very nature God did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own Advantage rather he made himself Nothing by taking the very nature of a servant being made in human likeness and being found in appearance as a man he he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death even death on a cross if the Son of God could humble himself how much more should
we humility is the key to walking in alignment with God's will Pride leads to destruction but humility leads to exaltation humble yourselves before the Lord and He will lift you up James 4:10 accor's Rebellion didn't just involve him alone he wasn't content to keep his pride and envy to himself no Kora sought to gather others to his cause he incited a spirit of division among the people of Israel he convinced 250 leaders men of renown men of influence to join him in his Rebellion against Moses and Aaron and this is where we see the true
danger of rebellion it doesn't stay isolated it spreads it infects others it creates division within the body of Christ a division is a deadly weapon in the hands of the enemy the enemy knows that if he can divide us he can weaken us if he can turn us against one another he can stop us from fulfilling the mission that God has given us that's why Unity is so important that's why we must guard against division with everything in US Ephesians 4:3 urges us to make every effort to keep the unity of the spirit through the
bond of Peace Unity is not just a suggestion it is a command and when we allow division to take root in our hearts we are disobeying God's command for Unity kora's rebellion was an act of division he sought to turn the people of Israel against Moses and Aaron he wanted to create factions to seow Discord to pit the people against their god-appointed leaders but let me tell you something division is a tool of Destruction Jesus himself said in Matthew 12:25 every Kingdom divided against itself will be ruined and every city or household divided against itself
will not stand division is the enemy's strategy to ruin us to tear us apart from within and we must not allow it to succeed chosen ones I plead with you today guard against division don't let Pride Envy or Rebellion cause you to seow Discord among your brothers and sisters in Christ we are called to be one body United in faith standing together in love how good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity Psalm 133: 1 finally let's look at God's response to kora's Rebellion when Kora and his followers rose up against
Moses and Aaron God's judgment was Swift and decisive he didn't allow this Rebellion to go unpunished the Earth opened up and swallowed them whole removing the threat to his divine plan in Romans 12:19 the Lord says it is mine to avenge I will repay we do not need to fight for our own Justice God will always defend his chosen ones Moses didn't have to defend himself God did it for him when we walk in obedience to God's will when we submit to his authority we can trust that he will protect us God's justice is not
just about punishment it's about protection he protects his chosen ones he defends his people against those who would rise up in rebellion and just as he defended Moses and Aaron he will defend you but remember this God's justice is also a warning just as he defended Moses he will also bring judgment against those who rise up in Pride and Rebellion just as Kora and his followers were swallowed by the Earth so too will those who continue in Rebellion face the consequences of their actions chosen ones I urge you today submit to God's Authority trust in
his Justice humble yourselves before him and he will lift you up don't let Pride Rebellion or division take root in in your heart walk in humility unity and submission to God's will and you will see his protection and favor in your life as I stand before you today I want you to understand the weight of this message this is not just a story from the past this is a warning for the present the spirit of rebellion is alive and active in our world today and it seeks to take root in the hearts of God's chosen
ones but you must resist it you must guard your heart against Pride against envy against division chosen ones hear me clearly you are set apart by God for a Divine Purpose but with that calling comes a responsibility to walk in humility to submit to God's Will and to protect the unity of the body of Christ Rebellion leads to destruction but obedience leads to life Pride leads to disgrace but humility leads to exaltation division leads to ruin but Unity leads to strength today I challenge you to examine your heart ask yourself have I allowed Rebellion to
take root have I allowed Pride to Blind me have I sown seeds of division among my brothers and sisters if the answer is yes then today is the day to repent today is the day to turn away from rebellion and pride pride and to walk in humility and submission to God's will for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble James 4:6 let us choose humility today chosen ones let us choose Unity let us submit to God's Authority and trust that he will protect and defend us I leave you with this final word
