    Whether you are conscious of it or not, you are always involved in some level of meditation. The issue has always been what you are meditating on daily. If you want to see the results of the Word of God, you must meditate on the Word. Selah.

    PRACTICAL WAYS TO HONOUR YOUR LEADERS 5 – Receive them with Joy 2

    “Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such men in esteem”

    Philippians 2:29 (KJV)

    Receiving your leaders through a great and special hospitality because of their reputation is one practical way.

    There is another practical way of receiving your leaders that you must give attention to; receiving them in the name of the one who sent them.

    Your Leaders are not Jesus Christ our Lord, but they are specially appointed, ordained and sent men of the Lord Jesus Christ.

    These leaders did not send themselves; they were sent by the Lord with a special grace to fulfill His assignment.

    “Those who welcome you are welcoming me. And when they welcome me they are welcoming God who sent me. If you welcome a prophet because he is a man of God, you will be given the same reward a prophet gets. And if you welcome good and godly men because of their godliness, you will be given a reward like theirs.” Matthew 10:40-41 (TLB)

    These words of Jesus point out two crucial things:

    – How you receive a leader the Lord has sent to you, is how you have received the Lord. The Lord sees your hospitality towards your leaders as hospitality towards Him. This means you must see the leaders God has set over you as men from God who must be given special reception.

    – The second item is that you must acknowledge, accept, welcome and receive your leader in the capacity of his commission or calling. The commission or assignment of the Lord entrusted to a man has a reward which shall benefit or serve for your advantage. Every mandate comes with a reward, and so receive them in the capacity of their mandate.

    As part of receiving the leaders sent by God to you, you must listen to the words of the Lord.

    When you don’t receive or even reject them, you have rejected the Lord (See Luke 10:16).

    “Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.” 1 Corinthians 4:1 (Amplified Bible).

    This was how Paul the apostle was instructing the saints in Corinth to regard himself and Apollos. Paul the apostle did not expect the brethren to regard them as mere men preaching the gospel but as ministers or servants of Christ. They are to see them as stewards, custodians or administrators of the mysteries of Christ.

    You will always receive and honour your leaders by how you see their mandate to you.

    Though we are equal by what Christ has obtained for us, we are not equal in the administration of God’s grace.

    Honour those the Lord has set over you. Submit your mind to the nurturing of your leaders.

    How do you see the commission or assignment of your leader?

    Until you see the extraordinary grace of God at work in him and recognize him as a man sent from God, you will connect with or regard him as an ordinary person.

    The special anointing to carry out a divine assignment distinguishes men.

     Honour them!

    Selah.

    THERE IS AN END TO THIS WORK

    “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” 

    Matthew 24:14 (NKJV)

     
    God has committed the work of the ministry to every believer. We all have the responsibility to spread the gospel of Jesus.
     
     
    Which means the call or the commission to spread the gospel is a high calling (Philippians 3:14). By this great call many are reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:18).
     
    The preaching and the spread of the gospel of our Lord Jesus, is the only way:
     
    – we can get the unsaved saved.
     
    – they that are estranged from the promise of God, can become partakers with the saints.
     
    – they that are without God will receive God and enjoy His life.
     
    – they that are hopeless will find hope in God through the gospel.
     
    – those who are in darkness will experience the greater light of the Lord.
     
    Beloved, many generations depend on this assignment given to you by the Lord.
     
    Understand that this season of the Church, is the season of the great harvest.
    You must be committed to this work because a time will come when no work shall be done.
    “We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work.” John 9:4 (NLT)
     
    The season of harvest will come to an end, and you shall make an account to the one who called you (Romans 14:12).
    Don’t treat the work of the ministry as an assignment which will go on forever.
    There is an end to this work.
     
    There is a time where the work shall end and be completed.
     
    “Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to completely finish His work.” John 4:34 (Amplified).
    In God’s calendar the end of all things is at hand. We are close to the finish line of the work more than ever.
    Run that you will finish.
     
    Shalom.
