You’re Called To Lead

[dike cyril]

And don’t let anyone put you down because you’re young.Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity (1 Timothy 4:12 MSG).The Christians are the stewards of the message of Christ.
We’re the ones He has authorized to carry forth His message to the people and
teach them the same.This means that responsibility of leadership has been
thrust upon us. Jesus has made us leaders; He’s made us lights to shine in our
worlds and show others the way.To be a leader, you don’t necessarily have to be
the head of an organization. Genesis 39:1-5 tells us about Joseph, who was a
slave in the house of Potiphar, yet the Bible says he was a prosperous and
effective man. He exhibited leadership qualities which distinguished him from
all the other slaves and soon enough, he was put in charge of Potiphar’s whole
estate.Your greatness isn’t in the definition of your

assignment, but in the quality of your spirit; the excellence of your character. Thus even as a janitor, cleaner, or

manager in an organization, you can be so exceptional, exemplary and inspiring. To that organization, you become

what the sons of Issachar were to the nation of Israel in 1 Chronicles 12:32 what the sons of Issachar were to the nation of Israel in 1 Chronicles 12:32: “And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the
times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and
all their brethren were at their commandment.” You also know what needs to be
done because you have Understanding of the times. Make up your mind to be that
one person that will excel in whatever he does. If you work for an
organization, let your colleagues learn from you as they see you do more than
you’re paid for. If you’re a politician, set an example

for other politicians and be forthright. No matter your vocation, let your proficiency be a testimony of the excellent

spirit within you. As a parent, lay good examples for your Children. Wherever you go, let people see your mark as a child of God. You’ve been sent to lead, therefore be that worthy example! Teach those in your home, school,

neighbourhood and workplace how to live and do things right through your words, character, love, faith and integrity.
