A Good Leader is a Good Follower

As Sons and Daughters of God, meditating with the Lord is important because you receive deep insight for living. And to be a good leader whatever we do, it implies that we are good followers. When we look at the parable of the sower (Matthew 25:14-30; Luke 19:12-27), the Master gave each of his servants talents according to their abilities to go and do business with them when he travelled.

Just as those servants were, likewise are the Sons and Daughters of God, because God has given every one of us skills, and we are to allow Him to lead us to where we are to use these skills or talents He has given to us. We cannot lead ourselves, we need to be led. This is why the Holy Spirit leads us into all truth in line with the Word of Christ Jesus. But if we think we can lead ourselves, we will become like the servant who buried the talent his master gave him.

Everyone is a leader in a different capacity. However, being an effective leader implies that we are effective followers. To be an effective follower implies trusting, relying on, and believing in the word of your leader. To us, this leader is our Lord Jesus Christ.

But anyone who hears the word of the Lord Jesus, and doesn't do them will be like the house built on the sand, that eventually crashed when faced with the situation of life. And this is because did not have its foundation built on Christ Jesus.

We are vessels before the Lord to be used for His purpose. All we are to do is to abide by His leading. We really don't know the very next step. We are like the blind needing to be led, this is why He is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path (ref.: Psalm 119:105).

If your life went wrong before, stick to the leading of the Lord Jesus, and allow Him to lead you. Don't doubt Him because that never worked for you remember? Also, remember that a good leader is a good follower. And being a good follower is to trust in, rely on, and believe in the words of your leader, who is our Lord Jesus Christ, and see your life receive light and fulfilment.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

It's a Done Deal

When the scripture says in 2 Corinthians 5:7 that the just shall walk by faith and not by sight, many of us don't live out what it means. In other words, we live in hope by believing it will come. Faith is not in the future; it is in the now; it is a done deal.

Think of yourself as a child who is hungry and knows his or her mum made lunch. You are aware or you know that your mum made lunch, and NOT would make lunch. Even though you haven’t seen it, you know lunch is ready. The same applies to us as Sons and Daughters of God, when we are asked to walk by faith, not sight. We are to believe it is a done deal.

When the children of Israel approached Jericho, the LORD told Joshua, their leader, that He had given Jericho and everything in it into their hands. At the time the LORD said this, Jericho was still standing tall, very fortified, with its wall so tall that houses were built on it (ref. Joshua 2:15, 6:2). But Joshua, by faith, saw Jericho in his hands, just as the child knew lunch was ready.

As Sons and Daughters of God, we are to see God as our Father and treat Him as one, because He really is one. Trust what He says, and believe that all you will ever need has been provided to you by grace. And we receive this grace through faith, by acting as a Son or Daughter to a Father which is shown by trusting Him.

Trust in the LORD with all your hearts, and do not lean on your own understanding (ref.: Proverbs 3:5). He does all the worrying for us, ours is to just become Sons and Daughters to Him as He leads us, we are to trust Him that it is done, no matter what we may see that is contrary. Just because He said He sorted out your financial issues, believe it is done. Just because He said He sorted out your health issues, believe it is done, and whatever may come our way.

Remember to always follow His leading because we trust Him, and whatever He says. We are Sons and Daughters to Him and we are to live as one.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Only Repeat What He Said

I believe we are aware of the fig tree that died after Jesus spoke to it (ref.: Matthew 21:18-22; Mark 11:12-14, 20-24). His disciples marvelled when they saw the tree withered from its roots. Jesus told them to have faith in God. And faith is our positive response to all God has given to us by grace in Christ Jesus. But when you come to think of it, activating what God has given to us starts with our thoughts and our words. Our actions follow what our thoughts and words rest on.

What does this mean? It means our words and thoughts should be in line with the grace we have received. In other words, we are to only think and say who He says we are and nothing else. The Bible says the just shall walk by faith and not by sight (ref.: 2 Corinthians 5:7). We should not pay attention to the distractions that are contrary to what He says we are. We are to just repeat what He said.

When we do this, we are confident that it is what He said that we are repeating, and not what we feel like saying that could be contrary to His grace. We become what we say.

Sometimes we may be confident that whatever Jesus says is true, but acknowledging it to ourselves may have some unbelief because of the condemnation from the devil. But when we just repeat what Jesus said, the consistency in knowing that all we have to do is just repeat His words and think it, there is this confidence in the words we speak because we know that if it is true of Jesus, we are just to repeat it and see it manifest. For as He is, so are we in this world (ref.: 1 John 4:17).

We don't really go through troubles in life because Jesus has gone through them and overcome them for us. So we confess His words of victory and see His victory become our reality.

He is above any circumstance we will ever face, we are just to repeat His words, and think them through as meditation day and night. As long as you believe that the words are true of Jesus, then they will be true for you.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
