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 must grow and mature in our thinking, discernment and decision making processes as we are in a season where situations, circumstances and challenges require a deeper level of thinking, understanding and supernatural faith.
We must recognize the moment that we are in and rise to the challenge because the lives and welfare of those we love or the things we care about are at risk.
Having the emotional and spiritual maturity, the spiritual eyes to see, and the strength and fortitude to take action is and will be the measure of our success.
The scripture warns us to:
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”
1 Peter 5:8 KJV
But
“Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.”
Philippians 4:6 AMP
OMG!
Mature thinking begins when we declare God’s word:
“(for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)”
2 Corinthians 10:4 KJV
“Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the LORD his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: Which keepeth truth for ever:”
Psalm 146:5-6 KJV
“…Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not your’s, but God’s.”
2 Chronicles 20:15 KJV
“Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.”
2 Chronicles 20:17 KJV
Thank you Lord!
Next, let us cast our cares onto the Lord and pursue aggressively the mind of Christ:
“casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you:”
1 Peter 5:7 KJV
“For who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes]. [Is 40:13]”
1 Corinthians 2:16 AMP
However, when we find ourselves needing to attack certain strongholds, let us heed the Bible instructions on steps we should take:
“Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.”
Matthew 17:21 KJV
“But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,”
Jude 1:20 KJV
In conclusion, maturity determines and resolves that our only hope is in Christ.
As a result, I declare and decree that we, the leaders, will do the following:
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
“Truly my soul waiteth upon God: From him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.”
Psalm 62:1-2 KJV
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And a light unto my path.”
Psalm 119:105 KJV
“…Thy face, LORD, will I seek.”
Psalm 27:8B KJV
“Let Israel hope in the LORD From henceforth and for ever.”
Psalm 131:3 KJV
In Jesus Name. Amen
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.
For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma], but then [when the time of perfection comes we will see reality] face to face. Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God].
And now there remain: faith [abiding trust in God and His promises], hope [confident expectation of eternal salvation], love [unselfish love for others growing out of God’s love for me], these three [the choicest graces]; but the greatest of these is love.”
1 Corinthians 13:11-13 AMP
