BE A LEADER

Let no one seek his own, but each one each other’s well-being.

1 Corinthians 10:24

Paul by the Spirit is telling the church at Corinth and us that we should seek other’s well-being. That is what leadership is about. Leadership is about adding value to others; seeking other’s well-being.

Leaders don’t only care about themselves but others. When you are a leader you should make a difference in other people’s lives and move humanity forward, you cannot carry this out by seeking only your own interests.

Look out for others! Think about how you can serve others and how you can use your gifts to benefit others, above all be led by the Spirit in doing so.

We need to take from the example that Jesus portrayed. Jesus was a Servant Leader and He showed us how to do it. We are here to serve.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.

Mark 10:45

Servitude is at the center of successful leadership! We are here to serve God and serve others. Servitude is the key to greatness! Servitude is the key of the kingdom of God. The greatest in the kingdom of God is the servant of all.

But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to be great among you, let him be your servant.

Matthew 20:25-26

So don’t live for yourself, but live for the Lord and to serve others. Serve the Lord by serving others. Love the Lord and love people. Don’t only look out for yourself, be a leader and look out for others.

Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

Philippians 2:4

Thought of the day: I’m called to be a leader who looks out for other’s well-being.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for an opportunity to lead and look out for other’s well-being, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

STRENGTHEN YOURSELF IN THE LORD

Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. 1 Samuel 30:6 Things could be going wrong all around you, challenges everywhere, and negative thoughts attacking your mind even to a point of depression. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself and wallowing up in depression, stand up and strengthen yourself in the Lord. We live in the world that has challenges, Jesus said that in the world you will have tribulations, but cheer up because Jesus has overcome the world. Strengthen yourself in the Lord and be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10 When you are weak you cannot overcome challenges you face in life. When you are weak you cannot have the victory and take possession your inheritance. You have to be strong. Strong

WAGE WAR WITH PROPHECY

This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare. 1 Timothy 1:18 If you have a prophecy spoken over your life it is time for warfare. It is time to wage war with your prophecy. Take the prophecy spoken over you and put it in your mouth. Speak the same prophecy over your life. Agree with God. Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3 Speak the same things with God. That is faith, faith speaks the same things with God and we overcome by our faith. Faith will put you over and it will make you an overcomer. Use your faith to wage war. And whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world – our faith. 1 John 5:4 Put up a good fight and fight the good fight of faith. You have to fight in order to win. Wage war with prophecy. If there is no prophecy spoken over you, there is nothing to it. Use the Word and speak the Word over

GOD REWARDS RIGHTEOUS LIVING

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me. 2 Samuel 22:21 Righteousness according to the Old Testament is righteous living. However, in the New Testament we have received the righteousness which is by faith in Jesus Christ. When David in the Old Testament said that the LORD rewarded him according to his righteousness, he is essentially saying that the LORD rewarded him for his righteous living. Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Isaiah 3:10 The above Scripture would then mean: “Say to those who live righteously that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.” God rewards righteous living. It doesn’t matter where you find yourself right now, if you would continue living righteously, living according to God’s Word sooner than later your life would begin to change. You can turn things around as you live righteously.
