1 Corinthians 9:27
King James Version
27 But I keep under my body,
and bring it into subjection:
lest that by any means,
when I have preached to others,
I myself should be a castaway.
True leaders are not hypocrites.
They must live, as they teach.
This blog is about those called to Christ.
When you are Christ's, all the more you must be spotless.
Your leadership must be beyond reproach.
You must be true to the Lord.
Be not like the leaders of the world, who say one thing, and yet do another.
Have no room for politics, division, distraction, deception, destruction, debauchery, and decadence.
Most of all, a true follower and believer of Jesus, will have no room for disobedience to the commandments of God.
Yes, it will be tough, but look at how the LORD JESUS conducted His life.
He had the toughest life yet.
Even as He had all the power in the world to chicken out, He did not.
Even as He had all the power in the world to zap satan who tempted Him in the wilderness, He did not.
JESUS taught us to obey the will of God.
To endure, by enduring.
To live by FAITH alone.
It can be done.
Luke 1:37
King James Version
37 For with God
nothing shall be impossible.
Philippians 4:13
King James Version
13 I can do all things through Christ
which strengtheneth me.
There are no excuses, when you serve GOD.
When you don't, you'll always find one.
Only by being born again can you understand such task, and discipline, of being a SPIRIT-led leader.
You will then make a discipline, out of that discipline.
The Holy Spirit will help you correct the errors of your heart.
Being born again will help you get through the most crucial moments of temptation, where, one small slip, can cause your downfall.
That small slip is the only opening satan waits for.
Whatever challenges we have in life right now, it is all so worth it, especially if your end goal is God.
Focus on JESUS alone.
Let GOD's WILL be done, through you.
The lusts of the flesh, the delusions of the mind, the confusion of self, can be conquered if you have CHRIST in your heart.
Ezekiel 36:27
King James Version
27 And I will put my spirit within you,
and cause you to walk in my statutes,
and ye shall keep my judgments,
and do them.
And you'd make a very apt, God-led leader.
Of great value to all.
