Lessons In Leadership

Lessons in leadership

Luke 1:37;

As you read this, keep in mind the following four points:

i. Our SAVIOR told us to pray “….THY will be done on earth as it is in heaven…”

ii. There is nothing impossible with GOD. Paraphrased, with GOD all things are possible.

iii. Our GOD is in heaven and HE does what HE pleases. Psalm 115:3, Psalm 135:6

iv. And we know that all things work together for good of those who love The LORD and those who are called according to HIS purpose

I am yet to come across leadership training material that mentions the role of The MOST HIGH in selection of leaders. Apart from the Bible , it is rare to see the role of The MOST HIGH being acknowledged when leadership is in place.

My country, Kenya, has just emerged from an election that was held two months ago. The victorious candidate is a publicly, born again, Pentecostal believer in JESUS CHRIST and he has made no secret of this fact to the chagrin of some and the consternation of others. even within the faith.

Strangely enough, before the elections there were all sorts of prophecies on who would emerge the winner. Clearly, the prophecies that he would emerge the winner carried the day to the glory of GOD and to the jubilation of his supporters. His inauguration and public events since that day have been marked with lots and lots of prayers and church services to the extent that some quarters have labeled them too much. To quote some people, they say that this president and his team are overdoing the religious angle. I disagree.

When he was having his desert experience with his GOD, he publicly stated that his GOD would help him, now that his GOD has helped him, and he is publicly declaring so, people have gotten spiritual and physical diarrhea, surprisingly even within circles that we consider the body of CHRIST. Anyway, our brand new, born again president is called William Samoei Ruto and he enjoys immense love and favor from children of GOD in this country, a good percentage of the general population and clearly of course, last but not least with The MOST HIGH too. I must mention that he has a testimony and what a testimony it is, but to the glory of GOD, he moves from glory to glory.

The public happenings in the life of this man are a lesson to anyone who has ears and eyes. I will enumerate a few lessons that we all can learn and benefit from. Of course, these lessons are not new, they are old, but The LORD in HIS wisdom has seen if fit to play out these lessons right before our very eyes and I will take the opportunity to point some of them out.

Lesson 1:

All things are possible with GOD. Beloved, the odds were stacked against our current president. At one point, I confess, my strength failed and I remembered the prophesy given by servants of GOD on this continent but out of this country and I barely managed to hold on until victory was declared. Beloved, I had to shout when he was declared President.

Beloved, are the odds stacked against you? Do you need a miracle? Is your miracle in the hands of your enemies and are they plotting to ensure you never get it? Beloved, there is none like The LORD, mighty in power and mighty to save. The heart of kings is in HIS hands and HE moves these hearts the way HE so desires. The LORD who did the impossible for our president who is HIS child, can and also will do it for you. Stand firm even when the storm looks like it will destroy you. When it looks like you are done for, stand firm. The MOST HIGH YAHWEH has the final say. There is nothing impossible with The LORD.

A special message to our brothers in Nigeria who are in a similar if not worse situation, The LORD is a Mighty DELIVERER and there is nothing impossible with HIM. HE can do all things. HE can give you a leader after HIS own heart. We fellow believers here in Kenya know a bit of what you are going through. May The LORD see you through and may the children of GOD be victorious as you go to the polls shortly.

Lesson 2:

Beloved, do not work hard to bring a person down. Do not scheme to destroy others. Do not gang up against people. When you use your power and might and resources to destroy people, or bring people down, it is highly likely that The LORD will purpose to lift this person up beyond your wildest dreams. You will not stand in HIS way, HE is The LORD.
