Let’s read:
One heart, one voice, one soul, one accord, one mind and one mouth
in the God of Israel
Exod.24 [3] And Moses came and told the people all the words of Yehovah, and all
the judgments: and all the people answered with one
voice, and said, All
the words which Yehovah hath said will we do.
1Chr.12 [38] All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect
heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of
Israel were of one heart to make David king.
2Chr.30 [12] Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of
the princes, by the word of Yehovah.
Jer.32 [39] And I will give them one heart,
and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the
good of them, and of their children after them: [40] And I will make an
everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them
good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from
me.
[41] Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them
good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with
my whole soul.
Ezek.11 [19] And I will give them one heart,
and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of
their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: [20] That they may walk in
my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my
people, and I will be their God.
Acts.4 [32] And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them
that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all
things common.
Acts.2 [1] And when
the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
[46] And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from
house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
Acts.4[24] And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast
made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
Acts.8 [6] And the
people with one accord gave heed unto those
things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
Acts.15 [25] It seemed
good unto us, being assembled with one accord,
to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Acts.15 [25] It seemed
good unto us, being assembled with one accord,
to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Rom.15 [6] That ye
may with one mind and one mouth glorify God,
even the Father of our Lord Yeshua Messiah.
2Cor.13 [11] Finally,
brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be
of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with
you.
Phil.1 [27] Only let
your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of
Messiah: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your
affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one
mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
Phil.2 [2] Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be
likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord,
of one mind.
1Pet.3 [8] Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of
another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: [9] Not rendering evil for
evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are
thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
------------------------------
Prov.19 [10] Delight is not seemly for a fool; much
less for a servant to have rule over princes.
Lam.5 [8] Servants have ruled over us: there
is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
Isa.3 - this is a curse
[1] For, behold, the Lord, Yehovah of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay
and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,
[2] The mighty man, and the man of war, the
judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
[3] The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and
the counseller, and the cunning artificer, and the
eloquent orator.
[4] And I will give children to be
their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
[5] And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly
against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
[6] When a man shall take hold of his
brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our
ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
[7] In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in
my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a
ruler of the people.
[8] For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah
is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against Yehovah, to
provoke the eyes of his glory.
[9] The shew of their
countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom,
they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for
they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
[10] Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him:
for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
[11] Woe unto the wicked!
it shall be ill with him:
for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
Children, Women rule over them (bad)
[12] As for my people, children are
their oppressors, and women rule over them.
O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and
destroy the way of thy paths.

Consult with the young people and not the experienced ones?
Wrong!
1Kgs.12
[1] And Rehoboam
went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
[2] And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of
Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was
fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)
[3] That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam
and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam,
saying,[4] Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the
grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us,
lighter, and we will serve thee.
[5] And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me.
And the people departed.
[6] And king Rehoboam
consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet
lived, and said, How do ye
advise that I may answer this people?
[7] And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt
be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them,
and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.
[8] But he forsook the counsel of the
old men, which they had given him,
and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him,
and which stood before him:
[9] And he said unto them, What counsel give ye
that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke
which thy father did put upon us lighter?
[10] And the young men
that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto
this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but
make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger
shall be thicker than my father's loins.
[11] And now whereas my father did lade you with
a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips,
but I will chastise you with scorpions.
[12] So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying,
Come to me again the third day.
[13] And the king
answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;
[14] And spake to them after the
counsel of the young men, saying, My
father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also
chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
[15] Wherefore the king hearkened not
unto the people; for the cause was from Yehovah, that he might perform his
saying, which Yehovah spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
[16] So when all Israel saw that the king
hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion
have we in David? neither
have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to
thine own house, David.
So Israel
departed unto their tents.
[17] But as for the children of Israel which
dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over
them.
[18] Then king Rehoboam
sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel
stoned him with stones, that he died.
Therefore king Rehoboam
made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
[19] So Israel rebelled against the
house of David unto this day.
[20] And it came to pass, when all Israel heard
that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the
congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed
the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
[21] And when Rehoboam
was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of
Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to
fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
[22] But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
[23] Speak unto Rehoboam,
the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and
Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
[24] Thus saith Yehovah, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren
the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from
me. They hearkened therefore to the word of Yehovah, and returned to depart,
according to the word of Yehovah.
[25] Then Jeroboam built Shechem
in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
[26] And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return
to the house of David:
[27] If this people go up to do sacrifice in the
house of Yehovah at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again
unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah,
and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king
of Judah.
[28] Whereupon the king took counsel,
and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go
up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the
land of Egypt.
[29] And he set the one in Bethel, and the other
put he in Dan.
[30] And this thing became a sin: for the people
went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.
[31] And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the
lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.
[32] And Jeroboam
ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like
unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar.
So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in
Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.
[33] So he offered upon the altar which he had
made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered
upon the altar, and burnt incense.

This is why we need Elders with experience, discernment,
and reasoning
I am the Elder of One in Messiah Congregation
There is a government, a possession of order in a
congregation
Yeshua said:
Matt.18 [15]
1 - Moreover if thy brother shall trespass
against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy
brother. (or sister)
2- [16] But
if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the
mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
3 - [17] And if he shall neglect to
hear them, tell it unto the church (the Elders):
but if he neglect to hear the church, (the Elders)
4 - let him be unto thee as an
heathen man and a publican.
kick
them out!
------------------
[1] It is reported commonly that there is
fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among
the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
[2] And ye are puffed up, and have not rather
mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
[3] For I verily, as absent in body, but present
in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that
hath so done this deed,
[4] In the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Yeshua
the Messiah,
[5] To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the
flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Yeshua.
Kick them out!
------------------------
Order among believers
1Tim.5
[1] Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father;
and the younger men as brethren;
[2] The elder women as
mothers;
the younger
as sisters, with all purity.
[17] Let the elders that
rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and
doctrine.
[18] For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not
muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer
is worthy of his reward.
[19] Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.[20] Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may
fear.
-----------
James 5:14
Is any sick among you?
let
him “call for the elders of the church”;
and let them pray
over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
------------
1Pet.5 [1] The elders which
are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Messiah, and also a
partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
[2] Feed the flock of God which is among
you, taking the oversight thereof,
not by constraint, but willingly; not
for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
[3] Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the
flock.
[4] And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye
shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
[5] Likewise, ye younger, submit
yourselves unto the elder.
Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be
clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud,
and giveth grace to the humble.
Oversight - Supervision, direction, leadership, rule
-------------------------------
---------------------
In closing:
There is order in heaven.
There is order in the universe.
There is order in the animal
kingdom.
On earth, there should be order
among the people of God.
