A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.com/
I was reflecting this morning on this scripture and the reality that in our journeys with God we are constantly challenged to grow.
Usually we find, as leaders, that when we face obstacles or resistant, there is often a “faith lesson” in the works to prepare and strengthen us while refining our skills for the next level of leadership.
This process can be frustrating, disheartening and difficult as promotion usually requires us to change to thrive at the higher level.
Scripture tells us:
“For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.” Hebrews 3:4 AMP
Yes, he knows us but we must learn ourselves and choose to lay down our weights, habits, beliefs and simply say “yes lord” – despite it all, I will go!
Everyday, we are presented with a choice to move forward in Christ or not!
We do not always make the correct choice but we can improve our odds of success in Christ by surrendering our hearts, minds, emotions, dreams and fears to Him – allowing him to mix our lives up like the potter.
Allow Christ to Continuously Improve Us:
Often times we have grown and formed into a pot that capacity to handle so much of the “weight of leadership”. If we are not careful, our development and preparedness can become obsolete or ineffective as new situations demand “more”.
Unless we allow ourselves to be broken, molded and reshaped on the potters wheel, we will not be adequately prepared or equipped for the demands of the moment.
It is my sincere prayer and declaration that we will remain faithful and keep our hearts receptive for the calling of God:
“Now Moses was faithful in [the administration of] all God’s house, [but only] as a ministering servant, [his ministry serving] as a testimony of the things which were to be spoken afterward [the revelation to come in Christ]; [Num 12:7] but
Christ is faithful as a Son over His [Father’s] house. And we are His house if we hold fast our confidence and sense of triumph in our hope [in Christ].
Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as [your fathers did] in the rebellion [of Israel at Meribah], On the day of testing in the wilderness,”
Hebrews 3:5-8 AMP
Let’s let the potter continue to mold us and get all the glory! He does marvelous work.
In Jesus Name.
Be Blesses!
Be a Blessing!
“The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
“Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will make you hear My words.”
Then I went down to the potter’s house, and saw that he was working at the wheel.
But the vessel that he was making from clay was spoiled by the potter’s hand; so he made it over, reworking it and making it into another pot that seemed good to him.
Then the word of the Lord came to me:
“O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?” says the Lord. “Look carefully, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel.
At one moment I might [suddenly] speak concerning a nation or kingdom, that I will uproot and break down and destroy;
if that nation against which I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent and reverse My decision concerning the devastation that I intended to do.
Or at another time I might [suddenly] speak about a nation or kingdom that I will build up or establish;
and if they do evil in My sight by not obeying My voice, then I will reverse My decision concerning the good with which I had promised to bless them.
Now then, say to the men of Judah and to the citizens of Jerusalem, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Behold, I am shaping a disaster and working out a plan against you. Turn back, each of you from his evil way; correct your habits and change your actions for the better.” ’
But they will say, ‘That is hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us will act in accordance with the stubbornness of his evil heart.’”
Jeremiah 18:1-12 AMP
