These principals will be relevant to everyone , because we all influence others in our attitudes , behaviours , choices , and passion.So hope this helps in your journey :
1. BE SECURE IN WHAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO . Remember it is God who has called you - not man or woman. Your responsibility is to God & you come under His protection& authority. Read Proverbs 29:25"The fear of men brings a snare , but whoever trusts in the Lord , shall be safe ."
2.KEEP SWEET. Bitterness will prevent , hinder , rob you from hearing the voice of JESUS. Bitterness & unforgiveness will strangle the blessing of God in your life & has the potential to cripple your positive influence upon those within your reach &those who are watching you ( without your conscience awareness).Never attempt retaliation(Romans 12 :19"DO NOT TAKE REVENGE , MY FRIENDS , BUT LEAVE ROOM FOR GOD'S WRATH, FOR IT IS WRITTEN:"IT IS MINE TO AVENGE, I WILL REPAY SAYS THE LORD.") Also Hebrews 12 : 15 directs us to ''SEE TO IT THAT NO-ONE MISSES THE GRACE OF GOD & THAT NO BITTER ROOT GROWS UP CAUSING TROUBLE & DEFILING MANY ."
3.BE STRONG & COURAGEOUS . Joshua possessed the Promised Land only after facing the obstacles which had to be overcome (JOSHUA 1). Leave problems until they must be dealt with , but when they must , deal with them quickly , lovingly & decisively. Do not let negative, visionless people undermine the testimony Jesus has given you , nor the prophetic word He has placed in your heart & mind. Stay grounded in God and He will bless you and those around you.
4.BE EXTRAVAGANT WITH OTHERS IN YOUR CARE & CONCERN FOR THEIR LIVES. You will have many critics because you live for Jesus , but God will provide friends ,fellow workers & in some instances family that will encourage you. You need a supportive network who will lovingly speak into your life , even with gracious correction ( if required) when you need it. Make yourself accountable to Godly people . Remember if you are to have authority & responsibility placed upon you , then you need to come under the authority of God & those He has placed in your life .
5. BE PATIENT.O ne day with the Lord is like a thousand years. However urgent the matter , God works according to His schedule not ours. Also recognise that anything can be achieved suddenly, for a thousand years is like a day (2 Peter 3: 8"BUT DO NOT FORGET THIS ONE THING , DEAR FRIENDS :WITH THE LORD A DAY IS LIKE A THOUSAND YEARS , & A THOUSAND YEARS ARE LIKE A DAY."
There will be more to follow in coming days .......I pray that someone is strengthened & encouraged as they read these words today . Jesus loves you now & always & He wants you to be aware of His provision for you. My prayer for you is that the Spirit of God will give you "FRESH REVELATION" from the heart of God today. It is yours if you want it !
