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!
