Without willing accountability, and the maintaining of an accountable relationship of honesty and transparency with someone over us in the Lord, we become, perhaps subtly at first, a law unto ourselves. This is why submission is so important; it is, in the end, the last defence that guards our hearts from lawlessness. John Alley

Every minister of Christ, particularly apostles and prophets, needs to value spiritual covering highly and pursue spiritual fathering. No one, no apostle or prophet (no matter how old, how long in ministry, how many people greatly cared for, or what great fathering has been given to sons) is exempt from the need to walk in heart submission to another.
