THOSE WHO LEAD US
John 13 : 3 - 5
Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe [them] with the towel wherewith he was girded.
We live in the times when so many a leader desire to domineer over those whom they are to lead. Many canvas for the votes of the people so as to take up leadership position, however when they get the mandate they look down on these same people, they do not consider them when they take decisions, they do not take their interest at heart and many even steal or loot the commonwealth.
We talk of circular leaders, they act as if they do not know that they would give account. Surely ALL MUST ACCOUNT TO GOD. Remember God has left all judgment to His Son. selah!
"IT IS A CURSE TO LEAD THOSE YOU DO NOT LOVE"... selah!
In the church do we follow the example of Christ? Are we leading the way He led? What of in responsibility as small as in our homes?
Mark 10 : 42 - 45
But Jesus called them [to him], and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
To lead is a privilege, God recognizes leadership and expect that they are given honour, however to him much is given, much is expected. Leaders must minister!
Hebrew 13:17
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is] unprofitable for you.
I encourage that we pray for all our leaders today starting from the closer to the farthest, that they may lead aright, that the fear of God would surpass their personal drive or lust. That they be of the spirit. God is the supreme/overall leader thus He cares about our leadership.
May we have peace.
Love
