Chain of Command

When Joshua received the instructions from the Lord he then told them to the priests. After he had told the priests then he told the people. Joshua's instructions to the priest were the instructions that the Lord had given him. If a person is to be a spiritual leader then they must first acknowledge the true leader, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He then shares the leadership with the spiritual leaders. If the proper chain of command is followed then the people will obey. The people must know that their leaders are following the instructions from the Lord.
