Well, unfortunately, we have a very entitled generation and since we can imagine, we are hit with the idea that we need to be leaders, and that leaders will receive a gold star as a reward or something great for what we do. The question arises of Who Am I? and What can I do to change who I am?
God says to Moses this exact question of who am I in Exodus 3:14! In Jesus Christ, we are born of God with the privilege of knowing god and knowing who he is and developing a relationship with him. We get to know God, Who exists, who has supreme power over the world, who never ever changes, Who created everything in this world which everything comes from, and who humans should conform to and know.
leadership is recognition and accomplishment to the point of privilege one has. If you are recognized as a leader is shows higher rank and that you are among the gifted. Everyone wants recognition and be a leader sometime in their life, and all people want the privilege that has to do with leadership.
The world puts on so many things which have selfishness, why follow when I can lead, true leadership is a sacrifice, not a privileged, however, the world we live in not has the wrong view. In our mind we humans don’t want to follow someone else when we can do it on our own, we need to submit to god to know that it is privileged to know God and who he is.When we know God we have been given a name and invited into his kingdom, and have the privilege to accept God into our hearts which makes us be eternal with God and his people.
In this leadership we have it is not about taking but giving. we need to stay on guard as we need to take initiative and know that by having that initiative is taking sacrifice for others. “Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, for you stand firm in your faith” 2 Corinthians 1:24
Christians know that they have sinned and recognize that. Christians work to do better of that and know sin will never go away. Christian leaders understand that leadership is important and that they are going to use that as a platform for god in their weakest times knowing to have a desire to have privilege.
As I will be traveling to these places, I will be learning about how life’s comforts don’t bring as much satisfaction as to sacrifice for others to make and them better to have more joy. You have to start somewhere, you cant build your house on sand but on solid rocks, the rock of Jesus. The reality of forever reminds me of Sacrifice and privilege and how when thinking about eternity, I want God to use and give me the name of servant, knowing I sacrificed my life and not used my life to think I always needed to be at the top earning a gold star and never failing, recognizing that that isn’t reality. Many times I forget I am made in the image of God and that my soul is eternal. In all of this, it can be so easy to be so earthly minded where we miss out heavenly things. “Our only hope for satisfaction of soul and joy of heart in this life comes from looking intently at what we can’t see” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Therefore, we must take steps to cultivate and intensify in our souls an ache for the beauty of the age to come. “Labor to get a sense of the vanity of this world,” said Edwards, and “labor to be much acquainted with heaven” (“The True Christian’s Life a Journey Towards Heaven,
There is something about heaven, and in that, the desire to know god becomes stronger because of this. internal perspective.Knowing this enables the soul to escape the grip of “earthly things”.Philippians 3:20-21
Praying that the affection of your hearts and focus of your minds will focus on sacrificing for god, with heaven as a privilege for those who accept God, and know who he is.
