Micah 3:1-12, Numbers 26:25, 1 Corinthians 14:3, Jeremiah 26:17-19.

Judah and Samaria's kings and prophets were doing and prophetizing the wrong things to the people. We are to follow our leaders, but we must decide what to do if these leaders' hearts are far from God. Leaders such as prophets should "edify, exhort and encourage and bring consolation to the people, in the word in 1 Corinthians 14:3. The kings and prophets of Judah and Samaria were leading their people astray by giving them false guidance and prophecies. Although we are supposed to follow our leaders, we should be cautious when their hearts are not aligned with God's will. As per 1 Timothy 2:1-4. The verse says, "I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people — for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness". We must pray for our leaders to ensure that we can lead peaceful lives.

God's hierarchy involves leaders and authority figures, followed by pastors, prophets, and lastly, us. We must always strive to follow God's path by living in His presence through the Holy Spirit. This way, we can obey our leaders and do what is good in the eyes of God.

We are to constantly live in God's sight through the indwelling of His Spirit in us as part of the new covenant that we follow and obey what is good in God's sight expressed to us by our leaders.
