Our Father has given a portion of Leadership anointing on each of us, even before we were born. Today’s word of encouragement is, “Lead by example”. The world desires leaders for their looks, charisma, and intellect. However, our Father today is going to shake the earth once again. Our Father, can raise up anyone He wants to lead and He can remove anyone. Only a few will standout, only a few will be used, only a few will choose to “Lead by example!” Today, I ask you and myself are we the few?
Whenever we feel discouraged, weak, and small, I pray that we would remember this verse in 1 Corinthians 1:26-31, 26 Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29so that no one may boast before him. 30It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."
Men have gone before us in the Bible, and in more recent history. Let us learn from their mistakes, and learn from their strengths. When selfish gain, pride, and fame creep into the main reason why Jesus placed us in that place of authority, watch and see God remove us as swift as any typhoon.
The Lord uses anyone! In the years to come, we will be surprised and shocked, because Jesus is going to use people who are after Him and not the world. We may not be wise by human standards, or influential, or even from noble birth, but the word of the Lord declares that He chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong, the lowly and despised things, to nullify the things of the world. Today let us lead by example. If we are sons and daughters of our Lord, then let us live by that example! -- Shaun
