No Matter Who the Leader is - God Still Rules!

There's always one thing missing in certain leader's lives. "Humility"
In order for you or anyone to become a great leader, you have to by humble. Not humble and allow people or situations to rule and walk all over you. This is a different kind of humble.
A leader continues to remind himself, no matter how high you walk, God still remains in control. It is because of God that you're in that position.
Some leaders tend to think they are their own source of blessing.
Wise leaders seek to make good decisions, but realize that God remains in control and the outcome of any decision remains in God's hands.
Leaders merely manage what God owns.
Leaders are in charge but God is in control.
For instance:
1. Return: Do a turnaround and pursue the Lord.
2. Repent: Confess specifically your self-sufficiency.
3. Remember: Remind yourself that only God is in control.
4. Result: Only then will God respond with blessing and restoration.

Experience

Sometime God puts you on a hold, because He needs you to gain experience. You cannot be elevated without gaining the experience that you need. Giving up is not the answer. To keep going is allowing you to grow.
That stuff you going through is called life lessons and gaining experience gives you hope and hope will not let you be ashamed. You'll have something to talk about when the time is right.
Some people speak but have no idea what they talking about.
They've read a few books and then think they're automatically qualified to give advice. They've experienced a story in a book. The fight is your friend.
The fighting process prepares you with the power you need to hold your ground and the thing is this, when you fight for it, you won't let anyone come and take it from you. YOU FOUGHT FOR IT!!
There's always a fight in marriage.
There's always a fight in parenting.
There always a fight in family.
There's always a fight in the work place.
There always a fight wherever you go...
But you are too tough and you refuse to be dead.
If there's ONE person that can and will make it; then IT'S YOU!!
Don't be stuck in that situation, what's promised to you is not a lie.
FOCUS and trust what God is doing.

But yet I struggle

No matter how many victories God has won for me...no matter how many times I came out on top...no matter how many times I encourage someone else, and no matter how many times I have to make life changing decisions, I always seem to struggle to do what David did. He knew the power of the God he served. He didn't just know the God's strength, he knew God.

He was tiny but he was fierce. Yes I do believe he had all sorts of internal struggles, but when he's mind was made up, he achieved whatever goals he had.

It's not easy to just have a made up mind, especially when you put itout there for the world to see. I think that is our biggest down fall. You can never keep any idea or vision to yourself. There's always the need to tell someone instead of just trusting God and allow him to do the work.

Do you know, when you share all of your thoughts and dreams with with anyone, that they might not pray for your success? That's what I love about David. He came with food for his brothers and immdiately decided he can slay this giant. And he did, because he never doubted the power he possessed and he never doubted the one who will help him.

I am full of faith, but when it comes to actioning that faith, it's a huge struggle. There's always that bit of doubt creeping in. That bit of doubt can cause major problems. It will even cause you to lack in a big way. Today, I'm once again renewing and cultivating my faith in Christ. I don't ever want to lack in my life. When I lack, my household lack and the genearions to come will lack. I need to cultivate and allow myeslf to increase this measure given to me.
1 Samuel 19:5
"For he took his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and the LORD brought about a great deliverance for all Israel; you saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death without a cause?"

I Choose Contentment

"True godliness with contentment is itself great wealth." 1Timothy 6:6

Life can get so busy at times and then we start to question ourselves and all that we desire, but for today and even this week, let's look at our lives the way Jesus does. Let us be content, do what we have to with the strength given to us by God Himself.

Abandoned?

Jesus who is God in flesh said, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Every individual goes through times where it feels like someone or God has abandoned them. People might say that your immature to feel this way, but I'm saying it's okay.

...and you know what makes it feel worst? When you have a partner but you still have to do things on your own. Then it feels like God has really abandoned you. YOu push through daily, but you know in your heart when it feels like God is not speaking to you, how bad that feeling is. It's like something has been ripped out of your body.

They will say, "Rest and trust in God. He is testing you." But you keep on asking in your heart, "How long must I wait?" Let me tell you what God is saying to you and I today...

"The Lord your God who goes with you, He will not leave you or abandon you." Deuteronomy 31:6

Trust me, I know, It's even harder to trust in His word, but if He's done it a few months ago, He will do it again.

	I have not Abandoned you.

My God, my All

"Don't just go shopping for a god. God is not for sale. I swear I'll never treat god-names like brand-names. My choice is you, God , first and only. And now I find I'm your choice! You set me up with a house and yard. And then you made me your heir! The wise counsel God gives when I'm awake is confirmed by my sleeping heart. Day and night I'll stick with God ; I've got a good thing going and I'm not letting go. I'm happy from the inside out, and from the outside in, I'm firmly formed. You canceled my ticket to hell— that's not my destination! Now you've got my feet on the life path, all radiant from the shining of your face. Ever since you took my hand, I'm on the right way."
Psalm 16:4-11 MSG

I have been through too much, that it made me want to give up too many times. Occasion after occasion God has come to my rescue.
I'm sure many reading this has been at that place of giving up, but here we are, years later, months later, days later or maybe even hours later, and we are still standing. WHY? Because of God's faithfulness. I salute you and even salute myself for deciding that life does not have to be taken because of what life has handed you. We go on, we live,  we keep loving, because our God loves us. God loves me personally and He does you too.

When am I weak?

The Spirit of God will help you. Don't give up!! Pray! No one has ever been so strong that they can say, they don't need God.
There's been so many times I just wanted to give up, but God kept me. I reminds me that I am not a weak person. Psalms 125:1 says;"Those who trust in the Lord, are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abided forever."

"If you give up when trouble comes, it shows that you are weak." Proverbs 24:10 NCV

Tough times

Tough times calls for tough people to show what they've got. Life is tough at home, in the work place, in your family life, in relationships, married or single.
I personally feel like giving up and believe me, that thought comes up daily. When it does come up, I make sure to change it immediately.
Don't give up, just make sure your thoughts are positive and you'll definitely make it.

This coming joy

"Those who plant with tears will gather fruit with songs of joy. He who goes out crying as he carries his bag of seed will return with songs of joy as he brings much grain with him." Psalm 126:5-6
#Lesson
In other words, there is a season in which we go through pain and hardship carrying the promise God has given us, but in the end, if we continue to trust the Lord of the harvest, we will reap joy and gladness.
"He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and you lips with shouts of joy." Job 8:20

Why do I do what I do?

When you're a mother there are so many decisions you have to carefully make. It is important that you don't make any decision based on your emotions or at that point where you just feel you cannot go on.
When you have children it's important for you to be focused and strong when life throws tons and tons of issues at you. It,s not easy to be strong. When they are settled in their beds at night, go in to your room or wherever you feel comfortable, break down and cry out to God. God knows your story. He knows your heart and He is the only ONE that can and will restore it.
You have a job to do. You have to let God know with all sincerity, that you need Him.
It is important for you to keep your mind set on Christ. stay focused, be strong, someone depends on you. So why do we do what we do? We do it because Christ gives us the strength to go on. Christ gives us the power to stand firm when everyone and everything in this world fails us. I do what I do because Christ did it for me, and until my kids receives that Christ revelation, I will keep on doing what I do....
