Divine Wisdom (Head Service - Partiality)

Head Service (Partiality)

Simply put 'Head Service 'is running the show carnally and can be defined as
“When the agenda of man becomes the benchmark for a Godly cause”

'Head Service' in biblical terms means partiality.
As Eye Service is eating away the goodies of being a Christian, Head Service is the catalyst that encourages this obnoxious act.
Wanting to give bribe is not enough, there must be someone on the other side who would gladly or is willing to accept.
In essence, they go together, hand in hand... Head Service and Eye Service.

If the journey down wisdom lane is to go by, this is a very important reason to stay in the place of prayer until Divine wisdom is given.
Hear what the prophet said about Jesus - Isaiah 11 vs. 3 - 5
Vs 3 - "He would not judge by Head Service (paraphrased)" because the fullness of the spirit was upon him (including the Spirit of Wisdom).

If Eye Service is prominent in peer to peer and follower to leader relationships, Head Service is seen in peer to peer and leader to follower relationships.

Jesus our great shepherd was careful and equipped with enough to strike out the use and attached problems of head service.

John 8 vs. 28 – 29
“…. I do nothing of myself….The father has not left me alone, for I always do those things that please him.”

God our creator is an impartial God (Romans 2:11) who is no respecter of anyone (Acts 10:34).

Our nature as humans play a prominent role in our willingness to participate in ‘Head Service’, hence unlike some other misdoings, this requires a sober approach.
First, the bible says the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak (Matthew 26:41).

The bible also says to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace (Romans 8:6). And you would agree that to be carnal can be simply described as to be human…to be man…And there is a way that seems right to a man, but the end is destruction.
Folks, this is the destination of head service.

Why do we engage in ‘Head Service’?

1.) There is pressure on spiritual leaders to make decisions i.e. deliver....NOW, and that simply means leaders tend to act before they could hear God – be it leading a group or leading your personal life.

2.) We live in the era of grace, so the consequences of disobedience are not swiftly experienced as they probably were in the past. This probably accounts for why we don't know who is following God or their ‘Head’. Take Uzzah (2 Samuel 6: 6-7) and Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 4:32-5:10) as examples.

3.) People force the Spirit out. It is different to be under pressure not to hear God, but it is criminal when we consciously block out the Holy Spirit just so He does not convict us of the things we do.

4.) People not hearing right. Not every one is guilty of fraud, but many people are ignorant about the choices make.

5.) Lack of faith. Some people hear God, think it over, but probably because what God says does not make human sense, or seem hard to achieve, they choose the option that appeals to their nature.

As earlier mentioned, it takes a sober and conscious approach to side step the traps of head service. Yes, sometimes we may fall short, but God's grace is sufficient. Stay connected to the Holy Spirit and let Divine wisdom find expression in your life.

Divine wisdom is not partial and that is what we should strive to be - impartial in our involvements on earth.
