Today’s Reading:
Psalm 115: I Sam. 9:15-10-11; I Tim. 3:1-9
It is true in scripture that promotion does not come from latitude nor longitude of the world, it is directly from God. Many people seek power and promotion from where it cannot be found - they use satanic means to get promoted. No one performs excellently well if they cannot rely on the one who has power to enthrone people. God enthrones, God dethrones. This is his own prerogative, His right to enlist people who will represent Him anywhere on this planet earth. From the above texts, nobody holds a leadership position or steps into one and records success if he or she does not recognise God who put him or her there.
Leadership is of different levels. It comes from the womb as it destined by God. Esau and Jacob were fetuses when God chose who was to be raised higher than the other one. Leadership continues from family and moves to the society –God must be seen at the centre of each leadership. Leadership is reflected in each profession in order to take the profession to the professional acme – to attain greater heights God must be seen in every profession in order to represent him well. God starts by entrusting people with little things and anyone who does good will be enlisted for another height; anyone who fails remains static or is demoted completely.
God who is greater than other gods, who chooses any one he wants has the thing he is looking for - in the lives of people he chooses. All the characteristics God looks for were displayed by Jesus Christ. Therefore, anyone who wants to represent God must relate with Christ.
