I was reflecting on this scripture this morning and the thought that we, the leaders, are often given the solution to a pervasive problem that others cannot see.
When this occurs, we are able to create significant value which brings glory to God!
The Bible says:
“A man’s gift [given in love or courtesy] makes room for him And brings him before great men. [Gen 32:20; 1 Sam 25:27; Prov 17:8; 21:14]”. Proverbs 18:16 AMP
Selah
The assumption is that when we are presented before great men, we are equipped for the moment and are to bring kingdom solutions to problems that have never been resolved.
How we achieve results is through the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the revelation that is given to us by God.
God is so awesome, relevant and timely in helping us to perform the work of our assignment!
Whether we are in a meeting with those in authority during a strategic or tactical debate, by our asking God for a solution in faith, we are provided answers that gains agreement.
Whether we are navigating the challenges of life with family members and there is disagreement, by our asking God for a solution in faith, we are provided the right words to say which bring peace and restores love.
Either way, we know and believe that every problem has a solution because of the Christ that lives inside us, and we are able to bring the solution to any and all problems by faith in Christ!
We must also be careful to give God the glory as we will know:
“This is from the Lord and is His doing; It is marvelous in our eyes. [Matt 21:42; Acts 4:11; 1 Pet 2:7]”
Psalms 118:23 AMP
Amen
I am grateful that Christ gave us his Holy Sprit to lead us and to guide us into all truth.
The scripture reminds us:
“But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth [full and complete truth]. For He will not speak on His own initiative, but He will speak whatever He hears [from the Father—the message regarding the Son], and He will disclose to you what is to come [in the future].”
John 16:13 AMP
Let us therefore recognize that when our natural solutions have been exhausted, we just need to be available to hear with our spiritual ears as the Bible says:
“But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.”
Job 32:8 ASV
It is in moments like these that we can see and experience the truth of the Word being manifested!
“For the Lord gives [skillful and godly] wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.”
Proverbs 2:6 AMP
“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren….,”
1 Thessalonians 4:13A KJV
Amen
In closing, it is my sincere prayer that we, the leaders, spend time with God so that our tongues are like a ready writer to speak what “thus said the Lord” in its season.
“For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me.”
Job 32:18 ASV
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“Elihu’s anger burned against Job’s three friends because they had found no answer [and were unable to determine Job’s error], and yet they had condemned Job and declared him to be in the wrong [and responsible for his own afflictions].
Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the others were years older than he.
And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouths of these three men, he burned with anger.
Then Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite said, “I am young, and you are aged; For that reason I was anxious and dared not tell you what I think.
“I thought age should speak, And a multitude of years should teach wisdom.
“But there is [a vital force and] a spirit [of intelligence] in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding. [Prov 2:6]
“Those [who are] abundant in years may not [always] be wise, Nor may the elders [always] understand justice.
“Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; I also will give you my opinion [about Job’s situation] and tell you plainly what I think.’”
Job 32:3-10 AMP
