Leadership

---

Some people one way or another tried to control us by imposing their own idea or trying to make us do what we dont want to do.

One good example in the when Soul did what he didnt want to do by forcing himself to offer sacrifices that was not his duty in the first place.

"I thought, 'Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the LORDs favor.' So I felt compelled to offer the burnt offering." - 1 Samuel 13:12


But when David was come face to face with his fellow soldiers and when they tried to kill him out of anger, he found a way out of their furiousness by mentioning the name of God.

David knows God and he knows when he should call his name especially in times of problem. I mean look at all of the songs, the songs of praise, worship and prayer.

Where is souls song? Not I know. So any ways when men and some who seems have power over us but they dont, come to control us, let us think only one thing that is no one has control over us unless the lord himself give it to them.

So even if they have designated power over us, it is not compared to the lords power. Their delegated power has nothing compared to the lords. Their operations are overridden by the lord. No one should make us do what we dont want to do unless the lord revealed his purpose for us.

Not in the name of love not in the name of power. I believe there are two kinds of powers, the power of LOVE and the power of authority (somebody or something ruling over us with or with out our will).

Kids like one and hate the other. But we would rather be under the power of LOVE than authority. We all want the power of LOVE. So when someone uses power out of LOVE it is different from power out of authority.

The power from authorities is not always abusive. Sometimes it is for our benefit and to probably something good for us. Parents use both types of power to direct and discipline there children. The Bible also specifically tells us to subdue ourselves under authority that he has delegated.


Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience. -Romans 13:5

But the main thing is we shouldnt let any power on earth or under the earth or above the earth to make us do what the lord dont want us to do.

Is it love? Not any more. Is it Family? Not any more. Is it principalities and authorities? Not any more. Angels? No. So in other words, I am talking about power, authority, control and fear.

So fear none of these but fear only God. Let us understand that the worlds lord is money and how can we bow down to money. In other words the maximum bad thing that can happen to us if we do not do what the world said is we might not eat their food and drink their water.

Besides our God is the God of every prosperity and abundance. Dont fear anything under the earth or above the earth except God almighty. Satan or his angels are not to be feared. What has evil to do with good? What has darkness to do with light?

Dont follow any of his plans or evil ways because all his will for you is death. He will come and whisper to us one day laughing in our ears, "I got you, didnt I? Now I will be glad when every piece of your body is burnning because it is mine." This is the words of the devil for all those who follow his schemes and evil advice contrary to the word of God.

The Purpose:

God have installed his purpose in us for his glory. He has made us in his likeness full of integrity and kindness for we shall look up onto him and find his image in him and he shall look down on us and find his image in us.

God seek relationship and LOVE besides his true glory and everlasting majesty. That is why he sent us his son to restore the kind of fellowship he had in Eden.

It is always good to put aside our feelings and trust only on Gods commandments. It is not good to feel smart and do some stupid things with out his consent.

It is not good to do things only based on our thinking and not consulting God. He left his spirit within us for him to help us find out solutions to our problems. If we listen to little voice deep inside of us, there is everything we need there.

There is hope and comfort, there is on time help from our lord, Jesus Christ. It is not wise to make selfish decisions that will heart others and eventually us.

Our Actions has Consequences:

We cannot escape the tragedy that we brought into other people lives.
We are still the victim of it one way or another. And it will finally locate us wherever we are and we will face the consequences of our actions.

This is whether we do good or bad. What we get is what we give.
What we harvest is what we saw. What we do in secret, we will face it in public. The lord will make sure we are rewarded or punished the little things we do in private.

We may think as a very elementary thing but yet the lord will bring it to display. But wait, what is FORGIVENESS then, if I have to be punished and humiliated with the things I do wrong?

The lord forgives us doesnt mean he will not take the appropriate measure to make sure that we wouldnt do the same thing again.

His punishment will bring understanding to us. The real forgiveness lies on the fact that the lord gives us another chance to be in likeness with his image.

He will allow us to perform in the same environment that we made a mistake before with the necessary guidance and help.

Otherwise where is justice with out judgment?
How can we get wisdom with out getting the right amount of discipline from our father?

We need to learn from your mistake. Ultimately we need to present our selves in front of the Almighty God for final judgment. There, there is no second chance. There, there is only either eternal destruction or eternal life.

So let us take a precaution on how we treat each opportunity of second chance. We dont want to see the blazing fires and the great anger of the almighty.

Even if the lord is full of mercy and his kindness is with out measure,
still we dont want to be the victims of his wrath. We dont want to found under the punishment of LOVE.

Punishment is real as LOVE is real. True LOVE demands true relationship. There fore with out establishing true relationship with God, we will fail out of his grace.

We will be the victims of LOVE and not the beneficiaries. In other words, if we obey and humble our selves under his feat, we will be saved. If we neglect his calling and follow our restless emotions, we will not find rest.


May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit fill us with these, in Jesus Name, AMEN!
