A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.com/
I was reflecting on these scriptures this morning and the thought that, as leaders, we have many dreams, goals and initiatives that seem dead with no viable options to the natural mind – based on what we see.
But I hear the Word of the Lord reminding us that when Jesus arrives and takes charge of the situation even the dead things shall rise again.
All hope may feel lost but in Christ, we have the hope of glory! Old things are passed away and behold all things become brand new.
Thank you Lord!
Maybe we are facing a “Lazarus like”situation today in our family, our health, our minds, our peace, our businesses, our community or even our country.
No matter the challenge and bleakness of the moment, we, the believers, still have hope in Christ – if we faint not in our faith!
Let us be reminded of a “truth” example found in the Bible:
“And when he [Jesus] thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.”
John 11:43 KJV
Selah
We can also find comfort in knowing how Jesus was moved in the moment when many were weeping and mourning the death of Lazarus, the scripture says He groaned in the spirit:
“When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,”
John 11:33 KJV
This scripture equally validates other scriptures that tells us that we have a high priest who is touched by our infirmities and cares for us – so much so that He even calls us His friend.
“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”
Hebrews 4:15 KJV
“casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
1 Peter 5:7 KJV
“Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his Lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.”
John 15:15 KJV
Amen and at the end of the day or the conclusion of the matter, He is our lifeline that we should hang on to for dear life as our very lives and salvation are dependent on Him and His provision, His comfort, His protection and His love.
So whatever the situation we are facing and no matter how large the giants appear, we still have that blessed hope in Christ Jesus because when He arrives the impossible becomes possible!
Selah
Maybe we are facing what feels like a “dry bones” season and we need a Word from the Lord to strengthen our faith. The Bible reassures us that even then, there is still hope:
“The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
and caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:”
Ezekiel 37:1-5 KJV
Amen
To God be the glory for all the wonderful things that He has done in our lives and for who He is to us.
Words cannot explain or describe the precious gift that Christ is to those who follow Him.
In conclusion, let us, the leaders, execute upon our right now faith to just trust, obey and praise the King of Kings and Lord of Lords for hearing us and for all of His great and mighty works!
In Jesus Name, Amen.
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid.
And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin.
Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.”
John 11:36, 41-44 KJV
