June 15, 2005 God's Spirit quides Obedient Leadership!
Romans 15:17-19 NIV
Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God. I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done— by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
As a Believer in Christ, we must FULLY Proclaim the COMPLETE Gospel of Christ Jesus!
Every LEADER who teaches and trains other believers can only do so through the Power of Holy Spirit.
Authority, which God ALONE SETS in place, is a building block of the Gospel of Christ.
Christ, the LEADER of leaders, taught and trained HIS disciples using signs, miracles and parables along with TEACHING from HIS conversations with HIS Heavenly Father.
Our Lord and Savior continues leading us today, teaching, guiding and training Leaders through that same Power of Holy Spirit, by revealing wisdom, increasing our knowledge and understanding from God's WORD concerning our Heavenly Father and HIS purpose and plan for Salvation in and through Christ!
Only by becoming submissive to the Authority of Leadership could the disciples have continued with POWER proclaiming HIS Gospel throughout the world, regardless of the persecution and rejection!
As such today, we ALSO must be submissive, listening to Holy Spirit,
who guides Believers to accomplish Great and Mighty Exploits for the Glory of God!!!
Father, as I listen and learn,
YOUR Spirit teaches me to speak boldly
of Christ and HIS Resurrection!
Having received Power from Holy Spirit,
Prepare me now for leadership,
proclaiming YOUR plan for Salvation!!
Forever will I SEEK YOUR face,
worshiping in Spirit and TRUTH,
which is Christ, my Lord and my Savior!!!
