Leaders are made

Hebrews 5:1. For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things about God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

It is of utmost importance to remember that leaders are human beings, picked by God from among their fellow men and they like us are prone to weaknesses, and we should not expect quick perfection from them. Leaders may not yet be a finished product, but a material that God is still working upon. In the process of dealing with us, they might make mistakes, and we should show compassion and pray for them.

They are called by God from the level of incapability of humans. They may make some mistakes and commit errors in the process of fulfilling duties. If they have not been a leader, their weakness may not have been noticed. But it became manifest because it has been hidden in their lives all along, and God wants them to deal with it so that it will not spoil their ministry among people. 

We should not think that we are perfect and cannot make the errors or blunders that some leaders made. We should be compassionate for them by praying for them and counselling them when we notice their misbehaviour and highhandedness and not bring their errors for discussion. 

Although we should expect perfection and excellence from our leaders, they need our prayers and encouragement to arrive there. The way David handled the misdeeds of Saul against him was a perfect example of how God wants us to deal with our leaders when they perform below our expectations of them.

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...
