I Have Not Done Them of Mine Own Mind (Numbers 16:28)

2022-09-15

And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind. (Numbers 16:28)

Korah’s mistake was he thought leaders could appoint themselves. He thought that Moses and Aaron appointed themselves to their positions. “Ye take too much upon you...” (Numbers 16:3). However, God’s leaders do not appoint themselves. They are chosen by God. Every prophet and apostle was chosen by the Lord Himself. Even today, the leadership of the local church is established by God. To go against the Lord’s established authority because they think they can do it better is to rebel against God Himself.
