A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.wordpress.com/
I was reflecting on these scriptures this morning and the thought that the very things we are seeking are already present.
With God’s presence, we have no lack!
Often times, as leaders, we fight against thoughts and limiting mindsets telling us we don’t have “enough” of something: these can be energy, ideas, healing, peace, customers, resources, access, favor or love.
The truth is that with faith in the word of God and the presence of the holy spirit, we have more than enough!
Maybe, like the Pharisees, we are looking for signs of the Kingdom of God; but, we see Jesus telling them that with His presence the Kingdom is there!
Scripture tells us that they did not recognize or know Him:
“He came into the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him [did not know Him].”
John 1:10 AMPC
So let us get to know Him so we can recognize His kingdom. We have a foundational scripture which helps us:
“IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. [Isa. 9:6.]
He was present originally with God.
All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.
In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.
And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it].
And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth. [Isa. 40:5.]”. John 1:1-5, 14 AMPC
We, the leaders, have the responsibility, to invest the time (the necessary work) in studying the Word and to quiet other outside influences:
“You search and investigate and pore over the Scriptures diligently, because you suppose and trust that you have eternal life through them. And these [very Scriptures] testify about Me! John 5:39 AMPC
As we become doers and pursue God, we will find:
“It is the Spirit Who gives life [He is the Life-giver]; the flesh conveys no benefit whatever [there is no profit in it].
The words (truths) that I have been speaking to you are spirit and life.”
John 6:63 AMPC
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“Now having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He replied, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed or with a visible display;
nor will people say, ‘Look! Here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For the kingdom of God is among you [because of My presence].””
Luke 17:20-21 AMP
