God rules....are you honouring this truth?

How are you behaving as a leader towards other people? Does God put you in a leadership role? How are you treating your fellow believers? Do you know who is really in charge of you and the people in your group? Do you see God rules! Do you see that you yourself are the 'servant' of God? Or do you see yourself as the 'boss'?

Who authorises you in position of leadership?

Do you see God rules??

I feel a need to address this matter! Regardless of where we are serving or working. We need not forget about God - He rules over all, He rules over you and me. No matter what position we are holding, we are to FEAR GOD above all else. 

We need to know by heart that GOD is watching all of us - especially how we treat other people. God does not say that we are to mistreat non-believers and favour only believers. We are as God's people shall treat people the same, not showing favouritism. How do you so sure that you are going to heaven, and non-believers are all bad people and going to hell? How can you be so confident? 

We are all so familiar with the scripture: 

And He gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, 'God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.' James 4:6

Here, God doesn't oppose only those who are non-believers and proud. God refers to all those that are proud in the heart, that will include believers as well. And the humble - not just believers but also include the non-believers. 

See Matthew 10:42, 'And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.'

Well, in here...God mentioned ANYONE and that person.

God does not specifically say, only believers.  Anyone and that person who did an act of kindness to those who are God's disciple will receive their reward for sure. 

Have we ever received kindness from non-believers? Or we never?

I received more grace and kindness from those who are not God's people just be honest. It is sarcastic but true. It made me feel sad in the spirit and it acts as a reminder for me as God's people to behave better towards outsider and those who are non-believers. I shall behave and react better since God's spirit is living within me. He has the transformation power and He is real to me.

When we realise that everything we have come from the Lord. We will start to live a life of honouring God to those around us - either christian or non-christian. Do examine your own leadership style and see if you have been dishonouring God in any way - turn and repent, realising God rules not you. God is the leader and good shepherd and not you! You are only a 'servant' of God. When you lead others, you are only serving them, not overpowering or overruling them! You have a boss up in heaven watching you all the time. FEAR GOD - you are accountable to Him. He will judge the living and the dead. Amen.

Read Jeremiah 50:6; Ezekiel 34 and Zechariah 10:3 *the bad and false shepherd*

May the Lord have mercy on all of us - those who are in leadership position. May we never mistreat our fellow in Christ but to demonstrate 'servant-like' leadership to truly serve and love one another. Amen.
