A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.com/
I was reflecting on these scriptures this morning and my heart and mind began to reflect on the “regrets” of life that we, the leaders, often experience from time to time.
We work daily to walk in the joy of the lord; however, there are times or seasons where we notice “how life” could have been different if we had made better choices.
Some of our choices may have caused us to sin; yet others may have simply been a “bad decision” to neglect something/ someone valuable.
Either way, we can recognize the mistake and begin, today, to take actions to get things back on track.
Failure to do so can have lasting consequences – maybe even eternal.
We see in the scriptures where Gods disciples, who were in the field doing God’s work, were struggling like some of us are today.
“For even when we arrived in Macedonia our bodies had no rest, but we were oppressed at every turn—conflicts and disputes without, fears and dread within.”
2 Corinthians 7:5 AMP
There is good news! The Bible tells us that there is nothing new under the sun and God still comforts:
“That which has been is that which will be [again], And that which has been done is that which will be done again. So there is nothing new under the sun.”
Ecclesiastes 1:9 AMP
“But God, who comforts and encourages the depressed and the disquieted, comforted us …..”
2 Corinthians 7:6 AMP
Amen
Our God loves and care for us so much that he has already made provision for these moments. Scripture reassures us:
“After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be].
To Him be dominion (power, authority, sovereignty) forever and ever. Amen.”
1 Peter 5:10-11 AMP
As leaders, we must be encouraged and not allow another day to end where we are carrying this burden of regret. We are only a decision away from freedom!
The scripture shows us:
“If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose].”
1 John 1:9 AMP
Let today be the day of salvation.
Satan, we plead the blood of Jesus over every leader and their families. We bind the spirit of regret and declare that we are all free in Christ. In Jesus Name.
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“For even when we arrived in Macedonia our bodies had no rest, but we were oppressed at every turn—conflicts and disputes without, fears and dread within.
But God, who comforts and encourages the depressed and the disquieted, comforted us by the arrival of Titus.
And not only by his arrival, but also by [his account of] the encouragement which he received in regard to you. He told us about your longing [for us], your mourning [over sin], and how eagerly you took my part and supported me, so that I rejoiced even more.
For even though I did grieve you with my letter, I do not regret it [now]; though I did regret it—for I see that the letter hurt you, though only for a little while—
yet I am glad now, not because you were hurt and made sorry, but because your sorrow led to repentance [and you turned back to God]; for you felt a grief such as God meant you to feel, so that you might not suffer loss in anything on our account.”
2 Corinthians 7:5-9 AMP
