A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.com/
I was reflecting on this scripture this morning and the thought of how vital it is that we, the leaders, understand and acknowledge the authority we bring to the table as we are executing our purpose and missions.
Silent authority (meekness) in the natural may appear as if we are subservient; however, while others may misjudge and attempt to brashly excerpt their authority, we must be wise, steady and execute our mission with precision, wisdom, grace and excellence – allowing the Christ in us to be magnified and honored when we work unto the Him.
We know with confident trust that our results are achieved in our prayer closets and when we fast – silencing the noise to receive our “right now” word from God.
During our times of quiet reflection, the Lord will reveal to us a strategy, plan and solution that is beyond the comprehension of the finest institutions and thinkers:
“In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king consulted them, he found them ten times better than all the [learned] magicians and enchanters (Magi) in his whole realm.”
Daniel 1:20 AMP
Selah
Daniel’s silent authority leadership example is captured in scripture which says:
“Daniel answered the king and said, “Regarding the mystery about which the king has inquired, neither the wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor astrologers are able to answer the king,
but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will take place in the latter days (end of days).
This was your dream and the vision [that appeared] in your mind while on your bed.”
Daniel 2:27-28 AMP
Thank you Lord!
Now others may try to dismiss, scorn or shame us like the Pharisee-because of our backgrounds. We see such examples in the scriptures below:
“Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things and were sneering and ridiculing Him.
So He said to them, “You are the ones who declare yourselves just and upright in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts [your thoughts, your desires, your secrets]; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God. [1 Sam 16:7; Prov 21:2]”
Luke 16:14-15 AMP
“When Jesus reached the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zaccheus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” So Zaccheus hurried and came down, and welcomed Jesus with joy.
When the people saw it, they all began muttering [in discontent], “He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a [notorious] sinner.””
Luke 19:5-7 AMP
Our response to all those sneers and shame is, “But God”, as we know that all of this condemnation becomes naught when Christ shows up!
His heavenly knowledge has no end and is available only to us who know and follow Him.
The Bible describes it this way:
“He made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness].”
2 Corinthians 5:21 AMP
“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”
Romans 8:15-17 KJV
Amen
In conclusion, let us be reminded to walk in love, strive to have the mind of Christ and realize that it is the Christ in us that has given us the authority to have dominion over the earth, in Jesus name.
Let us leverage this authority with precision, and purpose so that all powers and principalities that try and come against us are subdued and placed under our feet.
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 15:56-58 AMP
We have the victory in Christ.
In Jesus name, Amen.
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“Do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will immediately provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?
How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen this way?””
Matthew 26:53-54 AMP
