A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.com/
I was reflecting on this scripture this morning and the thought that we, the leaders, must know and understand that God is sovereign and elevates who he chooses, when he chooses and how he chooses for the Kingdom’s sake.
Often, we can become despondent and discouraged by the circumstances we see or are experiencing in the natural; but often, the significant resistance we experience is just our opportunity to simply trust God, his promises and the process.
Scripture reminds us in these moments that:
“The steps of a [good and righteous] man are directed and established by the Lord, And He delights in his way [and blesses his path]. When he falls, he will not be hurled down, Because the Lord is the One who holds his hand and sustains him.”
Psalms 37:23-24 AMP
We know that significant resistance cannot stop God’s plan. We must do our part and boldly fight the good fight of faith. The Bible instructs us on how:
“Fight the good fight of the faith [in the conflict with evil]; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and [for which] you made the good confession [of faith] in the presence of many witnesses.”
1 Timothy 6:12 AMP
“Blessed be the Lord, my Rock and my great strength, Who trains my hands for war And my fingers for battle;”
Psalms 144:1 AMP
“The wicked flee when no one pursues them, But the righteous are as bold as a lion. [Lev 26:17, 36; Ps 53:5]
When a land does wrong, it has many princes, But when the ruler is a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability endures.”
Proverbs 28:1-2 AMP
“So that we are no longer children [spiritually immature], tossed back and forth [like ships on a stormy sea] and carried about by every wind of [shifting] doctrine, by the cunning and trickery of [unscrupulous] men, by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything [for personal profit].
But speaking the truth in love [in all things—both our speech and our lives expressing His truth], let us grow up in all things into Him [following His example] who is the Head—Christ.”
Ephesians 4:14-15 AMP
Amen
We MUST endure UNTIL we claim our rewards:
“For as many as are the promises of God, in Christ they are [all answered] “Yes.” So through Him we say our “Amen” to the glory of God.”
2 Corinthians 1:20 AMP
“Through your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have heard and obeyed My voice.” [Gen 12:2, 3; 13:16; 22:18; 26:4; 28:14; Acts 3:25, 26; Gal 3:16]”
Genesis 22:18 AMP
“Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who alone does wonderful things.
Blessed be His glorious name forever; And may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen.”
Psalms 72:18-19 AMP
“In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [draw your strength from Him and be empowered through your union with Him] and in the power of His [boundless] might.”
Ephesians 6:10 AMP
Thank you Emmanuel for being with us! Mathew 1:23.
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?”
So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions before he died: ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’ Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father.”
When their message came to him, Joseph wept.
His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. “We are your slaves,” they said.
But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.”
Genesis 50:15-21 NIV
