Who’s Leading Whom? Part II

Some people are enticed by the idea of being a leader. Many things such as fame, being noticed and affirmation from others encourage this type of thinking.

Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Galatians 5:25, NLT

But those of us who chose, daily, to be lead by the Spirit of God must become servants before we can lead anyone. Christ was our greatest example in this area. He came to earth and forsook His priestly garments, to become like us, just so He could show us humility and love in serving. Before taking that step, check your motives. If you’re not ready to give up your will for God’s will, you may not be ready to lead.

Let’s stop overriding the Spirit of God with what we want to do and start allowing God’s Spirit to lead us in a pathway of righteousness.

Seriously, who’s leading YOU?

Who’s Leading Whom?

We live in a society that is made up of different ethnicities, religions and people who model different moral standings. It’s not uncommon to be in the company of someone who haven’t been taught the things your parents taught you. So when someone around you pushes your buttons consider the source and don’t allow your emotions to take the lead.

Don’t let your spirit rush to be angry, for anger abides in the heart of fools. Ecclesiastes 7:9

We must get to a place where we learn to manage our emotions. Our Scripture reference encourages us to do just that; do not allow negative emotions to lead you. Anytime we’re faced with an altercation or a situation looks unfavorable, take a moment and PAUSE.

Pray to your heavenly Father

Ask Him for guidance

Use the wisdom imparted

Seek the opportunity to use that wisdom

Expect an amicable outcome

Remember, it takes two elements to start a fire! Don’t be one of them!
