Previously, I informed you that sowing in and reaping from a JESUS-centered EDUCATION in Christ in this World involves an education that elevates GOD to you above all persons and things, deepen your knowledge about GOD and YOURSELF, unveil your real and true personality, potentials and life purpose in Christ to you, accelerate you from ignorant to knowledgeable person in spiritual and physical life matters, inspire you to fulfil your life purpose, open you up to unseen opportunities in the area of your life purpose and neutralize your lust for worldly and material things in this World. Read write-up (4) of this series for more.
The Bible says that:
Be not DECEIVED. God is not MOCKED (fooled). For whatsoever a man (or a woman) SOWS, that shall he (or she) also REAP.
For he (or she) that SOWS to his (or her) FLESH (lustful desire) shall of the FLESH (lustful desire) REAP CORRUPTION (death). But he (or she) that SOWS to the SPIRIT (love of God desire) shall of the SPIRIT (love of God desire) REAP LIFE everlasting.
And let us not be WEARY (tired) in WELL (right and godly) doing. For in DUE SEASON we shall REAP, if we FAINT (give-up) not... (Galatians 6:7-10; James 1:12-15).
For today, I will be informing you about SOWING in and REAPING from a JESUS-centered LEADERSHIP as one of your sacred and sacrificial LIVING in Christ in this World.
Wherever and whenever there is a FOLLOWER-SHIP, there is a LEADERSHIP.
Therefore, wherever and whenever there is a LEADERSHIP there must be a clear VISION. If not, both the leader and the follower(s) will PERISH in no distance time.
That is why the Bible reveals thus:
Where there is no VISION, the PEOPLE (followers) PERISH. But he (she) that keeps the Law (of God), HAPPY is he (she). (Proverbs 29:18).
VISION is a critical and compulsory criteria to be a LEADER and to be in LEADERSHIP in this World. True!
Therefore, to SOW in and REAP from a JESUS-centered LEADERSHIP in Christ in this World that will please and profit God, your LEADERSHIP will have to:
LEAD you closer to GOD in Christ above any other thing or person in this World. (James 4:1-10).
EXPRESS your specific and unique personality, potentials and life purpose in Christ to the World. (Luke 4:14-21).
ACCOMMODATE and respect other people God-given uniqueness. (1 Corinthians 12; Romans 12:3-10).
DEVELOP a humble and compassion heart for people. (Jude 1:22; Matthew 14:14; Mark 5:19).
ELEVATE and give recognition to other people's unique personalities, potentials and life purpose manifestations in CHRIST in this World. (John 14:12; MMatthew 16:17-19.
RELATE with other people with respect to their uniqueness and not according to your own uniqueness. (Philippians 2:3-11; Romans 12:3-10).
SEPARATE you out from the crowd, within and outside the Body of Christ in this World. (2 Timothy 4:6-8; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18).
HIGHLIGHT to others the importance on why it is needful for them to discover and deliver their God-given uniqueness (in terms of personality, potentials and life purpose) in Christ in this World. (Colossians 4:17).
INSPIRE others to come to Christ and discover (know) and deliver (fulfil) their life purpose in Christ in this World. (2 Corinthians 5:17-21; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).
PUT you in service to GOD and HUMANITY in Christ in this World. (Isaiah 58; Acts 10:38).
To achieve the above statements about sowing in and reaping from a JESUS-centered LEADERSHIP:
You need to know that:
1. Everyone (including you) is a LEADER as well as in LEADERSHIP by divine PURPOSE for humans in this World.
2. Everyone (including you) is a FOLLOWER as well as in FOLLOWER-SHIP by divine for humans PURPOSE in this World.
What do I mean?
Everything and Everyone under the Heaven is created by GOD for a divine, specific and unique PURPOSE.
The Bible reveals thus:
To EVERY thing there is a season and a time to EVERY purpose under the Heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
If you live in this World, then you are living under the Heaven as a divine PURPOSE with time and season. True!
Every PURPOSE of GOD under the Heaven (which you are one) is a VISION of GOD.
Therefore, anyone who discovers his or her divine, specific and unique life PURPOSE (in Christ) in this World is a LEADER and is in LEADERSHIP. Yes, it is true!
Therefore, discovering your divine, specific and unique LIFE PURPOSE (area of calling in Christ) of the VISION of GOD (for your life) makes you a LEADER with a divine VISION. However, developing and delivering (fulfilling) it (your life purpose in Christ) in this World, put you in LEADERSHIP, because people will start following you (your God-given uniqueness), one way or the order. True!
Likewise, when other people discover their divine, specific and unique LIFE PURPOSES (areas of calling in Christ) of the divine VISIONS of GOD for them, they become LEADERS with divine VISIONS As well. However, when they start developing and delivering (fulfilling) them (their life purposes in Christ) in this World, it puts them in LEADERSHIP because people (including you) will start following them (their God-given uniqueness), one way or the other as well. True!
However, divine, specific and unique life PURPOSE of the VISION of GOD can only be discovered (known) and delivered (fulfil) in CHRIST JESUS in this World. True!
The Bible reveals that:
...And they sung a new song, saying, you art worthy to take the book and to open the seals therefore. For you were slain and has REDEEMED us to GOD by your BLOOD out of every kindred, tongue, people and nation.
And has MADE us unto our God KINGS (leaders) and PRIESTS. And we shall REIGN (individually, divinely, specifically and uniquely) on the Earth. Halleluyah!
(Revelation 5:9,10).
Do you get it!
Therefore, the Bible reveals further thus:
For by GRACE are you SAVED through FAITH. And that not of yourself. It is the GIFT of GOD.
Not of WORKS, lest any man (or woman) should BOAST.
For we are His (God's) WORKMANSHIP created in CHRIST JESUS unto GOOD WORKS (of individual, specific and unique life purposes), which GOD has before ORDAINED that we (you and I) should WALK in them. Halleluyah!
(Ephesians 2:8-10).
Therefore, Apostle Paul calls you and I to our individual, specific and unique life PURPOSE good WORKS of LEADERSHIP in Christ in this World, when he:
1. Requested that ARCHIPPUS should take heed to the MINISTRY (of his individual, specific and unique life PURPOSE good WORK in Christ in this World) he had received from the Lord and fulfil it.
(Colossians 4:17)
2. Encouraged TIMOTHY to be sure to make full PROOF of his MINISTRY (of his individual, specific and unique life PURPOSE good WORK in Christ in this World). (2 Timothy 4:5-8).
This is the ONLY way, you and I in Christ can really and truly:
1. TASTE as individual, specific and unique SALT of GOD in Christ in this World. (Matthew 5:13-16).
2. SHINE as individual, specific and unique LIGHT of GOD in Christ in this World. (Matthew 5:13-16).
3. LIVE and REIGN as individual, specific and unique KINGS and PRIESTS of GOD in Christ in this World. (Revelation 5:9,10).
4. LIVE and show forth God's PRAISES (glories and honours) collectively as a chosen GENERATION, a royal PRIESTHOOD, an holy NATION and as a peculiar PEOPLE of GOD in Christ in this World. True! (1 Peter 2:9,10)
JESUS CHRIST says that:
I must WORK the WORKS (My individual, specific and unique life PURPOSE good WORKS) of Him (My Father in Heaven) that sent Me, while it is DAY. The NIGHT comes, when no man (or woman) can WORK.
As long as I am in the WORLD, I am the LIGHT (by My individual, specific and unique life PURPOSE good WORK) of the World. (John 9:4,5).
And the Bible reveals that:
...As HE (Jesus Christ) is, so are WE in this World). (1 John 4:17; John 14:12-17).
The Bible also reveals that:
JESUS CHRIST said unto them, My MEAT (food) is to DO the WILL of HIM (My Father in Heaven) that sent Me and to finish His WORK. (John 4:34; Matthew 6:10).
What is your own 'food' (passion) in Christ in this World?
Whose will are you seeking and fulfilling in Christ in this World?
The Bible reveals that GOD answers PRAYERS according to His WILL in Christ and not according to yours and mine:
And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in Him, that if we ASK any thing according to His WILL, He HEARS us.
And if we know that He HEAR us, whatsoever we ASK, we KNOW that we HAVE the petitions that we DESIRED of Him. Halleluyah! (1 John 5:14,15; Romans 12:1,2; James 4:1-10).
Therefore, JESUS CHRIST teaches us to PRAY thus:
...Your WILL be DONE in Earth, as it is in Heaven. (Matthew 6:9,10).
And the CONSEQUENCE of not SEEKING and not DOING the WILL of GOD the Father in Heaven in this World thus:
Not EVERY one that says unto ME, Lord, Lord, shall ENTER into the Kingdom of Heaven. But he (or she) that DOES the WILL of My Father which is in Heaven...
(Matthew 7:21-27; John 5:30, 41-44; Luke 22:42; James 1:22-25)
If JESUS CHRIST is your ultimate ROLE MODEL for victory and success on earth as instructed in Hebrews 12:1-3, then:
1. Desiring your individual, specific and unique life PURPOSE good WORK of LEADERSHIP in Christ in this World should be MUST for you now as part of your sacred and sacrificial living in Christ in this World because the time is short. (Ephesians 5:15-18; Revelation 12:12; 1 Peter 5:8-10; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15).
2. Discovering your individual, specific and unique life PURPOSE good WORK of LEADERSHIP in Christ in this World should be MUST for you now as part of your ssacred band sacrificial living in Christ in thus World, because the time is short. (Ephesians 5:15-18; Revelation 12:12; 1 Peter 5:8-10; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15).
3. Developing within your individual, specific and unique life PURPOSE good WORK of LEADERSHIP in Christ in this World should be MUST for you now as part of your sacred and sacrificial living in Christ in thus World, because the time is short. (Ephesians 5:15-18; Revelation 12:12; 1 Peter 5:8-10; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15).
4. Delivering (fulfilling) your individual, specific and unique life PURPOSE good WORK of LEADERSHIP in Christ in this World should be must for you now as part of your sacred and sacrificial living in Christ in this World, because the time is short. (Ephesians 5:15-18; Revelation 12:12; 1 Peter 5:8-10; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15).
5. Deriving (the earthly dividends now and eternal dividends someday of) your individual, specific and unique life PURPOSE good WORK of LEADERSHIP in Christ in this World should be MUST for you now as your divine profits (rewards) for your sacred and sacrificial living in Christ in this World, because the time is short. (Ephesians 5:15-18; Revelation 12:12; 1 Peter 5:8-10; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15; John 17:1-5; Hebrews 12:1-3; Philippians 4:8,9; 2Timthoy 4:5-8).
Now, why are divine PURPOSES of the VISIONS of GOD found only in JESUS CHRIST? Because only the SPIRIT of GOD (Christ) knows it and can reveal it to you and I. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
...As it is written, EYE has not SEEN, nor EAR HEARD, neither have entered into the HEART of man, the things which GOD has PREPARED for them (you and I in Christ) that LOVE Him.
But GOD has REVEALED them unto us by His SPIRIT. For the SPIRIT searches ALL things, yes, the DEEP things of GOD.
For what man knows the things of a man, save (expect) the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of GOD knows no man, but the SPIRIT of GOD.
Now we have RECEIVED, not the spirit of the World, but the SPIRIT which is of GOD. That we might KNOW the things that is FREELY given to us of GOD.
Which things also we SPEAK, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the HOLY GHOST teaches. Comparing SPIRITUAL things with SPIRITUAL.
But the NATURAL man (unbeliever, who is yet to be born-again or receive the Holy Spirit of God) receives not the things of the SPIRIT of GOD. For they are FOOLISHNESS unto him (or her). Neither can he (or she) KNOW them, because they are SPIRITUALLY discerned.
But he (or she) that is SPIRITUAL judges ALL things, yet himself (or herself) is judged of no man (or woman).
For who has KNOWN the MIND of the LORD, that he (or she) may instruct Him? But we have the MIND of CHRIST.
(1 Corinthians 2:9-16; John 16:13-15).
And that HOLY SPIRIT of LEADERSHIP is within you. Therefore, the Bible reveals that:
...But you are not in the flesh, but in the SPIRIT, if so be that SPIRIT of GOD dwells (lives) in YOU. Now if any man (or woman) has not the SPIRIT of CHRIST, he (or she) is none of His...
For as MANY as are LED by the SPIRIT of GOD, they are the SONS (or daughters) of GOD...
(Romans 8:1-13, 14-30; Colossians 1:27; John 1:12)
CONNECT and OBEDIENTLY respond daily to the HOLY SPIRIT of LEADERSHIP within you and you will become the real and true divine, specific and unique LEADER (king and priest) you are in Christ and you will find yourself, sooner or later, in LEADERSHIP, either within or outside the Body of Christ in this World. Yes, you will! (Revelation 5:9,10).
God bless you.
