A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.com/
I was reflecting on this scripture this morning and my mind was consumed with the thought of how vital it is that we, the leaders, are diligent in doing the work that we commit to doing.
Value is created and benefits and rewards are made available to us who are faithful in the fulfillment of our promises.
The rewards of recognition may not come immediately but often they are revealed after the work has been completed with the highest standard of excellence.
This level of faithfulness is appreciated, noticed and reveals our character and is often described as “being diligent” or “faithful” or “dependable”.
These are universal traits of character that others appreciate due to their rarity and because of their rarity, they are extremely valuable.
We see examples throughout the scriptures where the Lord performed certain tasks because of his word ( promises) to the children of Israel:
“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went.”
Ezekiel 36:22 AMP
“Therefore know [without any doubt] and understand that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who is keeping His covenant and His [steadfast] lovingkindness to a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments;”
Deuteronomy 7:9 AMP
Selah
As the Lord was faithful to honour his word, so should be our mindset; however, in order to do this we must be careful, diligent and organized to ensure that any commitment that we make we have a mechanism to track track them and the discipline to honor them.
Scripture describes being faithful this way:
“But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’ [a firm yes or no]; anything more than that comes from the evil one. [Lev 19:12; Num 30:2; Deut 23:21]”
Matthew 5:37 AMP
“In this case, moreover, it is required [as essential and demanded] of stewards that one be found faithful and trustworthy.”
1 Corinthians 4:2 AMP
When we have demonstrated through words and deeds that we are committed to our promises and are faithful in the execution thereof, it is our sincere prayer and expectation that Christ will endure us (assign the responsibility for doing something) for His kingdom.
The Bible reminds us that there is still much work to do for the kingdom:
“Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is [indeed] plentiful, but the workers are few.”
Matthew 9:37 AMP
Let us be the solution with ready hands.
In conclusion, I declare and decree that we, the leaders, will:
“Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed], being continually aware that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose].”
1 Corinthians 15:58 AMP
Amen
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in His name [identifying themselves with Him] after seeing His signs (attesting miracles) which He was doing.
But Jesus, for His part, did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all people [and understood the superficiality and fickleness of human nature],
and He did not need anyone to testify concerning man [and human nature], for He Himself knew what was in man [in their hearts—in the very core of their being]. [1 Sam 16:7]”
John 2:23-25 AMP
