A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.com/
I was reflecting on these scriptures this morning and the thought that we, the leaders, must create and sustain an insatiable capacity for growth mindset as it relates to the mysteries and things of God.
We must position ourselves (our hearts and minds) to be able to continuously absorb more of the Word of God.
The risk for not doing this pre-work may cause us to not be prepared when the abundance of rain arrives in our lives – God forbid!
The Bible says:
““Blessed [joyful, nourished by God’s goodness] are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness [those who actively seek right standing with God], for they will be [completely] satisfied. [Is 55:1, 2]”
Matthew 5:6 AMP
Selah
Secondly, we need to ensure that we are producing good fruit-not just any fruit.
The Bible refers to our fruit as “useful crops” that are beneficial for a specific need:
“For soil that drinks the rain which often falls on it and produces crops useful to those for whose benefit it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God;”
Hebrews 6:7 AMP
These “crops” can be for the edification of the saints or for the demonstration of Christ’s love which draws others to Christ and His kingdom.
The Bible tells us:
“All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17 AMP
Amen
Thirdly, as we listen to the voice of God while we read His Word, are willing, obedient and are careful to do what the Word says, we will see the blessings realized.
The Bible says it this way:
““Now it shall be, if you diligently listen to and obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all of His commandments which I am commanding you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you pay attention to the voice of the Lord your God.”
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 AMP
Thank you Lord!
In conclusion, it is my prayer that we, the leaders, will commit today to preparing our hearts to absorb the watering of Gods Word.
When we do so, the Bible says:
“grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
2 Peter 1:2-4 KJV
In Jesus Name, Amen.
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“For soil that drinks the rain which often falls on it and produces crops useful to those for whose benefit it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God;
but if it persistently produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned. [Gen 3:17, 18]”
Hebrews 6:7-8 AMP
