It is a common saying, true to its roots:
Readers are Leaders and Leaders are Readers
I believe that it is with this prospect that our loving Father commands us in Joshua 1:8 to ensure that we relentlessly continue to study, mediate and live by His Holy Word which He has given us so we continue to prosper in all things.
GOD loves us so much that we discover in the book of Revelations 19:13 that JESUS the KING of Kings and LORD of Lords is the potent Word of GOD that transforms our lives.
Living this life as He teaches by His Holy Spirit will help us to become the divine born leader we always were meant to be (Gen. 1:28)
Psalms 82:6 I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’ NIV Bible
1 Peter 2:9 “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” NIV Bible
Deuteronomy 28:13 ”The LORD your God will make you the leader among the nations and not a follower; you will always prosper and never fail if you obey faithfully all his commands that I am giving you today.” GNT Bible
So we must be unforgettable to remember that the Bible is the Spirit’s Sword and no one can teach us to wield it as He does.
To truly live as leaders, we must learn from the Master; the Holy Spirit whom we must receive (if you are yet to) and daily fellowship with Him diligently (Prov. 22:29).
All sons of GOD (Romans 8:14) are leaders. We need to live as who our Father sees us as. Never be discouraged! Remembering that Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). He thinks highly of you.
You are uniquely different, the perfect you. Embrace who you are in Christ JESUS, Friends.
If you haven’t already received the Holy Spirit, you can now. Yes, even right now. Just as our Father has freely given His Son and we receive JESUS as our LORD and Saviour, so also we should receive His Spirit whom He chose to give to us freely, His wonderful gift to us. No tarrying, no ignorant seeking because actually, it is He who is waiting for you. He has been right there all along.
All we have to do is ‘come and drink’.
