Rhema For Living 20 December 2022 OFM MESSAGE
A good leader is a regenerated and distinguished personality (John 3:3) out to serve and not to be served. He draws his energy and inspiration from the word of God, which he meditates on habitually. The word of God dwells in him richly, and he takes delight in living a righteous life. He is conscious of the right people to associate with, and he is one who makes a difference among his peers, and must have been a good and consistent follower.
He is a man of great and mighty vision, who remains focused at all times. He is a selfless and courageous champion on fire for God, a go-getter, very humble and willing to learn from others.
When the young Joseph caught the vision of his future greatness, he developed the right attitude to remain focused. His attitude was spiced with integrity right early. He refused to be distracted, not even by the offer of his master’s wife
The way Joshua and Caleb delivered a minority report after returning from their assignment is a good example of how to have the right attitude when confronted with challenges (Numbers 14 :6-8. The level of faith in the Lord God determined their attitude and degree of courage. No wonder at age 85, Caleb could say, “Give me this mountain” (Joshua 14 :12). He knew it was not by frail power or might but by the spirit of God. That is an attitude fired by faith.
I pray for you, may God empower you to be an example of a good leader.
PRAYER: My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, make me a good follower and leader of excellent character in Jesus Name.
