    WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING

    “I empower kings to reign and rulers to make laws that are just.”

     Proverbs 8:15 (TPT)

    The born-again in Christ is translated from the power of darkness into the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus.

    In His Kingdom, we are all made Kings and Priests.

    “and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth.
    To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”     Revelation 1:5-6 (NKJV)

    Our reign as kings in Christ doesn’t begin after this present world has come to an end. Our reign as kings in Christ is not for the future. It is a NOW responsibility.

    The scripture says “He has made us…”, which means He is not now trying or planning to make us kings and priests.

    Concerning the saved ones, God says:

    “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” 1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV)

    You are part of the Lord’s nation of kinging-priests. You have the mandate to reign or rule in your sphere, and how you reign is a display of God’s glory.

    As kings in Christ, we are to lead our generation with WISDOM.

    If, in case you are still wondering why you must love Wisdom, this is it:

    Wisdom empowers Kings to reign.

    Hear what Wisdom says:

    “I empower kings to reign and rulers to make laws that are just. I empower princes to rise and take dominion, and generous ones to govern the earth.” Proverbs 8:15-16 (TPT)

    How well do you want to influence your world?

    How do you want to manifest God’s glory?

    How do you want to lead your generation?

    Wisdom is the principal thing!

    Be intentional about walking in Wisdom.

    Remember, the Word of God is the constitution of Wisdom.

    “Here are kingdom revelations, words to live by, and words of wisdom given to empower you to reign in life…” Proverbs 1:1 (TPT)

    The impartation of the Word of God is the impartation of the revelation of Wisdom and spiritual understanding.

    The more you fellowship with the Word of God, the more your thoughts are cultivated and shaped to be consistent with the Wisdom of God.

    Beloved, Love Wisdom, for by her you are empowered to reign as a King.

    Hallelujah!

    Unforgiveness or holding on to an offence is a destructive weapon of the enemy. You may think you are doing the right thing by giving a forensic look at the situation. But beloved listen, that is a snare of the adversary. Make it your priority to walk in love as Jesus loved all men.

    STAND IN THE GAP

    “The people then cried out to Moses; and Moses prayed to the LORD…”

    Numbers 11:2 (New American Standard Bible)

     
    As the light of the world, the Lord has called you and sent you to give direction and meaning to lives.
     
    As a New Creation in Christ, you have the mandate to lead your generation. You are called and chosen by God to lead many into purpose.

    The first step in fulfilling the assignment of leadership is to entrust the assignment to God.

    The core element of every leader’s assignment is people. Every leader is sent out by God to provide answers to the people, irrespective of their condition or needs.
     
    However, kingdom leaders are sent men, and are not to be GOD to the people. Leaders must therefore see themselves as intercessors.
     
    You shape the destinies of people by first praying to the One who has FOREORDAINED THEIR DESTINIES.
     
    Whenever the people of Israel turned away from God or blamed Moses for their condition (instead of taking responsibility for their fears and anxiety), Moses’ reaction was to intercede for the people.
    Moses didn’t lead the people of Israel by his own strength. He led Israel through the power of Intercession.

    To intercede is to commit the burdens of your community, or the institution of people you are leading, to God.

    The adversary sought to destroy lives and destinies, and your strategy is to go into prayer of intercession and also take up intercessory projects which shall help shape the lives entrusted to you.
    Jesus said:
     
    “And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren” Luke 22:31-32 (KJV).

    As a leader, instead of complaining, you stand in the gap for the people entrusted to you by the Lord.

    To lead your generation is not to lord yourself over them, but to serve. And the first step you have to take in the service of others is to intercede for them.

    BE AN INTERCESSOR TODAY.

    WE PRAY
    That we will continually stand in the gap for the people the Lord has entrusted to us.

    – I serve my generation first through intercession.
     
    – I don’t lead by my own strength, I lead by the strength of the Lord.

    Don’t allow your emotions to lead you. Your emotion or the deep seat of your desire has been exposed to the corruptibility of the flesh before you got born again. This is why God is interested in the focus of your emotions or your heart’s delight. Channel your emotions towards the Lord. Allow the word of God to saturate your desires. Selah.

    EVERY LEADER MUST LEARN TO FIGHT 1

    “Afterwards, Jacob went back and spent the rest of the night alone. A man came and fought with Jacob until just before daybreak.”

    Genesis 32:24 (CEV)

    Every man has the inherent potential to lead in any course they set for themselves. However, the born-again in Christ has the direct call of the Lord into His Kingdom leadership.

    The new creation in Christ is made a king and priest (Revelation 1:6, 1 Peter 2:9).

    This means every believer is designed and sent to lead in his or her sphere.  As mentioned in previous episodes, if you are born again, see yourself as a leader.

    To be a leader means you have an assignment to inspire, influence, and direct people toward God’s agenda. Jesus Our Lord calls His disciples (which includes you) as the salt of the earth and the light of the world (Matthew 5:13-16).
    Which means you provide guidance, illumination and preservation of destinies. Destinies depend on you.

    As a leader, your life is not for your self-gratification but for divine glorification. The more you shine as a light in your sphere, men glorify God because of your impact.

    As a leader, your decisions, choices, plans, actions, and results affect the lives of people in your sphere. 

    Your failure is the failure of many. Your victory gives opportunity to many others to also experience a victorious life.

    This doesn’t come by chance. There are many factors which may serve as a resistance or limitation, but you must be daring to exercise your victory.

    Thankfully, every born-again operates from the place of victory because of the victory of Christ.
    The victory of Jesus doesn’t mean you will not face opposition and resistance.

    Paul the apostle referred to Epaphroditus as a brother, fellow worker and a fellow soldier (Philippians 2:25). He told Timothy to endure suffering along with him as a good soldier of Christ (2 Timothy 2:3).

    Why would Paul the apostle call you a soldier in Christ if there is nothing to fight for?

    During the final days of his ministry, Apostle Paul himself said, “I have fought a good fight” (2 Timothy 4:7).

    So, a son of God in Christ, you are also a soldier of Christ.

    There is no destiny which is fulfilled without a fight. This fight is not an ordinary fight. It is a fight of faith. The fulfilment of your destiny in Christ is the fulfilment of a purpose which is foreordained by God.

    If the adversary can prevent you from fulfilling your purpose, then he has attempted to disrupt a divine plot. And this also affects others whose destinies are connected to yours.

    Most believers assume that as long as they have entered the rest of Christ, there is nothing to fight for.

    There is a whole lot more to fight for; as believers, we fight from the place of rest or faith:

    –  to enforce our victory which we have obtained in Christ Jesus.
    – to liberate others from the power of darkness and to bring them into the light.
    – to cause the glory of God to manifest in our world.
    – to ensure that the Lord’s vision is fulfilled in our sphere.

    As you can see from the opening verse, Jacob, who has the birthright and the blessing, had to still wrestle to enter the full manifestation of His blessedness as a nation.

    It was after he prevailed that he fully matured as a nation (corporate man). Until then, Jacob was just an individual man and a family man. He was not yet Israel, though he was the custodian of the blessings and promise of Abraham and Isaac.

    No believer is called by God to live an ordinary life. Every believer is a custodian of a divine vision and mandate.

    To expand the scope of your impact, you must learn to prevail. And if you want to prevail, you must learn to fight.

    Don’t allow the challenges or limitations of your background to bully you. Don’t bow to the systems of this world. Be a fighter.

    Don’t allow anything to reduce you to ordinariness.

    You are not ordinary; you are of God. Therefore, don’t live an ordinary life; live as a leading victorious soldier.

    David said, “The Lord trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze” (2 Samuel 22:35)

    Be a fighter.

    Learn to fight!

    Learn to prevail.

    Glory to God!

    LEAD YOUR SPHERE 1

    “But we will not boast beyond our measure, but within the measure of the area of influence which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you.”

    2 Corinthians 10:13 (Legacy Standard Bible)

    There are many people who assume they are not called to lead. And some of these thought patterns stem from an age long philosophy.

    Which simply emphasises the concept that “Not all are born to lead…”

    The question is, can we confirm this concept as the concept and ideology of God?

    Did God create some people to be leaders and others to be followers?

    Before the creation of man, God communicated His concept of who man is:

    “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” Genesis 1:26 (ESV)

    Man was not made to be inferior. Man was made to lead, to rule and to have dominion.

    God is not just a creator, He is also the King of the universe.
    To be made in the image and likeness of God is to have the quality or capacity to function as a leader.

    If you are reading this now, I want you to know that God designed you to be a leader.

    You may not have all the qualities to function as a high-level leader or a great leader, but you must understand that you have the ability to lead.

    And if you have the ability to lead, then you can become a great leader or rise to a high level of leadership when you are able to strengthen your weaknesses and sharpen your strengths.

    Every human being has a certain level of capacity to lead. However, the moment you develop faith in God and submit your heart to Him, you begin to journey into true Kingdom leadership.

    You can fully operate or function according to God’s design, to the degree to which you respond to Him in faith.

    When God looks at you, He sees one with the capacity to lead.

    Abraham lived all his life as an ordinary man until God called him out of his kindred. That call of God moved Abraham from his comfort zone and limited thoughts to become a great patriarch and a leader of many generations.

    Gideon never saw himself as a mighty man or as a leader. But when God looked at him, He saw a mighty leader (Judges 6:12).

    The disciples of Jesus lived as ordinary youths, but within them is the capacity to function as Kingdom leaders. Through an effective discipleship program for three years, Jesus nurtured His disciples to become conduits of a great global and transgenerational movement. 

    He was able to establish an eternal mandate (the Church) on earth through these young men. He sent them out to go forth into all the world (every sphere of influence) to make disciples and transform them into transformational leaders. (Matthew 28:19).

    This is the charge for every believer: we are called into Christ and mandated to function as transgenerational leaders, raising more Kingdom leaders and making an eternal impact.

    Jesus calls you the light of the world, a city set on a hill.

    This is who you are!

    As a light, you have to shine and illuminate the very place you find yourself.

    Your sphere is your world, and God has designed and deposited into you the ability to lead in the sphere He has placed you in.

    You are not called to lead tomorrow, you have the mandate to lead now. You are not going to become a leader, you are a leader now.

    Take a stand today and lead your world.
