Great leaders walk alone but work with a team

Lamentations 3:27-28 states: "It is good for a man that he bears the yoke in his youth. He sitteth alone and keepeth silence because he hath borne it upon him."

Being a leader is a great responsibility, and it is good for a person to bear it in their youth when they have the strength to do so. Effective leaders learn, grow, and build their capacities alone, but work with a team to fulfill their vision. If you don't enjoy walking with God alone and acquiring great knowledge by yourself, then you cannot inspire and lead others, and you will not last long in impacting people's lives.

Real leaders walk alone, understanding God's mandates for themselves first, received through intense fellowship with the word of God. It is in their solitude with God that they receive the power to influence others for righteousness and godly living. They build their knowledge power through reading about the great works of other leaders who have gone ahead of them in what they are doing. Their pursuit of God and their destinies is intense and immense, allowing them to be ahead of others as a leading light.

Great leaders wake up early and seek the face of God for themselves and the lives of those under them. They also stay up late, reading and learning to be better leaders, driving themselves to be ahead because of the people who look up to them. They do not want to fail God and their people and have signed off the right to live for themselves. Instead, they live to add value to the lives of those under their leadership.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
