INVEST-IN-KNOWLEDGE: LIVE FOR A PURPOSE – YOU WORTH MORE!

How much do you think you WORTH? What’s your current life style price tag? Don’t you intend spicing up your current stage in life for a more healthier place? Are you still fresh and refreshing in minds and thoughts? Or still set in your old setbacks ways? Are you living purposefully? Are you truly living or just managing to exist? YOU WORTH A LIFE. Just pause and think about it for a moment.

Today, I just discovered that my wife is investing time, money and effort with a friend to learn and improve other and better ways of cooking delicious meals from the norm or usual to add to family menu. I’ve chosen to delay eating time so that I can be the taster. She doesn’t know it yet, except you inform her. Yes, I really do.

However, living in a Micro-wave, Quick-fix life and fast-readily meal only will not do you any good on a long run deal with the world. And with the dynamics of the changes in the world, you can’t afford to remain static or to put new wine in an old wineskins.

When last did you really INVEST – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT to acquire the required and needed knowledge to spice up, improve, promote, rekindle and synergise your current life status or dysfunctional limitations and skill in terms of – CAREER OR TRADE TRADEMARKS, MARRIAGE or MARITAL & SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP, BUSINESS ENTERPRISE, FRIENDSHIP OUTLOOK, LEADERSHIP SKILS, MINISTERIAL POTENTIAL, COOKING/COOKERY, COMMUNICATION IMPROVEMENT and more of such likes. It’s a high time you read again or the more to improve, attend a training course, go for a refreshing seminar or conference, take a different turn from the usual to make you innovate, create and be built up – at a cost of TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT. Look within and you will see that there are too much within you yet to EXPLORE to CREATE your best and ultimate well-being in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

Now I know why you are still set in your old ways that have captivated you and nothing is driving you to attain higher heights and you see nothing worth pursuing to keep you fresh or refreshing in order to blossom, thrive, innovate and create – the life that WORTH embracing in order to compete or overcome the deteriorating worlds about you. This ought not to be so. It’s time to say oh God renew my days and revitalise my life with the needed knowledge and exposure to keep me updated in order to be effectual and navigate in the changing World System with the gracious ATTITUDE for your ALTITUDE.

Know for sure that living and sustaining a colourful life, genuine and sustainable GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS without stress and depression is not cheap, hence the need to INVEST in the needed knowledge to CHANGE your worlds for good and to CREATE the needed atmosphere you wants to see, enjoy and live within.

You are the architects of your worlds – whether it’s good or hurting at the moment. It’s your time to ARISE and GLOW through needed knowledge. Don’t let ignorance keep you static, burnt and worn out in your marital relationship, business enterprise, career or trade and such like needed place that WORTH INVESTING your – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT. It’s time to update your worlds for your GRACIOUSNESSS GRACEFULNESS, FRUITFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS.

I love PRAYERS. I enjoy God’s PRESENCE. But please, please, don’t use PRAYERS to OVERLOOK you ambassadorial place of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY. Know for sure that FAITH without WORKS is dead (inactive) standing alone. PRAYERS without corresponding ACTIONS will keep one MOANING and COMPLAINING and BLAMING through life. Take the scale off your eyes and look up to the stars – you can shine again. The Daystar lives in you for your dawn day to glow – 2 Peter 1:19.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken (ERRING), not KNOWING the Scriptures nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29 NKJV (Emphasis Mine).

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children” Hosea 4:6 NKJV.

“THEREFORE MY PEOPLE HAVE GONE into CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. 15 People shall be brought down, Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15 NKJV.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like TREASURE HIDDEN IN A FIELD, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking BEAUTIFUL PEARLS, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46 NKJV.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“And let us CONSIDER one another to PROVOKE unto love and to good works: 25 not FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER of some is; but EXHORTING one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:24-25.

“. . . Let us now GO BACK and VISIT our brethren in EVERY CITY where we have PREACHED THE WORD of the Lord, and see HOW THEY ARE DOING” Acts 15:36.

“. . . PURE and UNDEFILED religion before God and the Father is this: to VISIT orphans and widows in THEIR trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” (James 1:22-27).

“BEAR YE ONE ANOTHER’S BURDENS, and so fulfil the law of Christ . . . 9 AND LET US NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore OPPORTUNITY, let us DO GOOD unto all men, ESPECIALLY UNTO THEM WHO ARE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH” Galatians 6:3, 9-10.

“When the SON OF MAN SHALL COME IN HIS GLORY, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 and before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was an HUNGRED, and ye gave me meat: I was THIRSTY, and ye gave me drink: I was a STRANGER, and ye took me in: 36 NAKED, and ye clothed me: I was SICK, and ye visited me: I was in PRISON, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when SAW we thee an HUNGRED, and fed thee? or THIRSTY, and gave thee drink? 38 When SAW we thee a STRANGER, and took thee in? or NAKED, and clothed thee? 39 Or when SAW we thee SICK, or in PRISON, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have DONE it unto one of the LEAST OF THESE MY BRETHREN, ye have done it unto me” Matthew 25:31-40.

Leadership Is Sacrifice & Service

By Leave a Comment

1 Peter 5:1-4 “1 The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed: 2 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; 3 nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock; 4 and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away”.

Matthew 20:20-28 “Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him. 21 And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.” 22 But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”They said to Him, “We are able.” 23 So He said to them, “You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.” 24 And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. 26 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. 27 And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many”.

The call to leadership in the Faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, is a call to servanthood (sacrifice, service and stewardship ministry) and not to a Lordship ministry as detailed in the above named Scriptures.

Some key guideline to true and effective leadership are thus:

  • Be a leader not  a boss
  • Lead by example
  • Have an attitude of a servant
  • Leadership is a function of humility – Philippians 2:6-8; John 13:4-11
  • Leadership must have a focus goal (know where you are going and where you are coming from). Leadership means remaining focus irrespective of the challenges.
  • Leadership must be done and approach with a perfect heart – 2 Chronicle 25:2; Jeremiah 17:9-10. Leadership action depends on the motive and  God rewards motive not only just the action. Leadership is likened to  a salt as in – Matthew 5:13. Salt is what is inside it.
  • Leadership is not glamour but a warfare. To be engaged on our fight of FAITH with satan and cohorts for human freedom & liberty in REDEMPTION.
  • Leadership is not cheap. Every pain adds to your experience. And every experience leads to your promotion. As a leader you will step on peoples toes or feet, you will be insulted and be misunderstood, but don’t misunderstand yourself when you are being misunderstood.
  • As a leader, watch your utterances, especially about death or dying – Numbers 11:11-15; 1 Kings 19:1-5.
  • Matthew 17:1-3 – Honour of God in the mount of transfiguration. As a leader, your service and motive will determine your honour & presentation. Your account of services in the kingdom of God is your reward.

Examples of Integrity In Leadership:

a. Samuel the Leader: 

1 Samuel 12:1-5 “1 Now Samuel said to all Israel: “Indeed I have heeded your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you. 2 And now here is the king, walking before you; and I am old and grayheaded, and look, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my childhood to this day. 3 Here I am. Witness against me before the LORD and before His anointed: Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I received any bribe with which to blind my eyes? I will restore it to you.”4 And they said, “You have not cheated us or oppressed us, nor have you taken anything from any man’s hand.” 5 Then he said to them, “The LORD is witness against you, and His anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand.” And they answered, “He is witness”.

b. Barnabas the Leader:

  • Acts 1:21-26
  • Acts 4:36-37
  • Acts 9:26-28
  • Acts 12: 25
  • Acts 15:36-39
  • 2 Timothy 4:11

Finally, Here are the three tempters or enemies you need to Watch in course of Leadership:

  • Money (Finance): Money may be good, don’t love it, it does have wings and may disappear  –  Proverbs 23:5; 1 Timothy 6:10.
  • Immorality (Sex): Avoid it else it will go far towards you. It kills the anoint and the anointed. Keep far away from you for your own good. Get married if so pressured – 1 Corinthians 7:1-7; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 3:16-17; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18.
  • Pride (Boasting): Deal with it early if you must stay top and maintain pace or position. Humility is your antidote. James 4:6; 1 Peter 5:5.

Every Grace,
