They will share the Burden

I was reflecting on these scriptures that relate to equipping ourselves and our teams for exponential impact through Gods power.

It is becoming more real to me just how critical we, the leaders, must become resolute in our thinking to attract, develop and train more godly leaders.

We are given the mandate to: Be Fruitful, Multiply, Subjugate, and to have Dominion. These conditions cannot be achieved without a team no matter the assignment.

The reality that our mandate is much bigger than our personal abilities requires that we assemble and equip a team of likeminded and committed leaders.

Understanding, like Joshua, that every place we walk is ours; there is no limit to the opportunities. Our only potential limit is in our ability to prepare ourselves (spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally) and the leaders on our team.

Only you and God will know the number of “men” that will be needed for the calling on your life. We see that Moses needed 70; but the scriptures shows that just two can have unlimited impact when they are in agreement.

In closing, here are a couple of reflection questions to ask:

⁃ Who is on your leadership team that needs to be coached to the next level?

⁃ What training/ capability gaps do you have in your leadership team that needs addressing?

⁃ Who is on your leadership team but chooses not to grow?

⁃ What is your action plan to resolve these gaps, this year?

It is my prayer that the Lord will give you clarity, wisdom, courage and strength to attract, train and realign your team to run the race that God has given you. In Jesus Name, Amen

“And God blessed them [granting them certain authority] and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subjugate it [putting it under your power]; and rule over (dominate) the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves upon the earth.””

Genesis 1:28 AMP

“The Lord said to Moses: “Bring me seventy of Israel’s elders who are known to you as leaders and officials among the people. Have them come to the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with you. I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take some of the power of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them. They will share the burden of the people with you so that you will not have to carry it alone.”

Numbers 11:16-17 NIV

“Again I say to you, that if two believers on earth agree [that is, are of one mind, in harmony] about anything that they ask [within the will of God], it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.” Matthew 18:19 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/mat.18.19.AMP
