A WORD IN DUE SEASON

You Are A Leader.

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be

hidden. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck

measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the

house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see

your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good

deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your

Father Who is in heaven."
Matthew 5:14-16 (AMP)

Everyone in the Body of Christ is called to lead. This is

because you are the light of the world. Light guides, light

exposes and light shows the way. Therefore, if you are a member

of the Body of Christ, from the day you got born again, the

responsibility of leadership was placed on you. This is why

from the moment you announce to others that you are a

Christian, they begin to use a higher standard to measure what

you do.

Did you notice that from the day you got born again, if you

reacted in certain ways, someone who knows you are now born

again would ask you a question like this, "I thought you said

you are now born again?" In other words, they unconsciously now

begin to expect more from you than before because you are a

Christian. This is because as a Christian you have now become a

leader. You are different and the world does not expect you to

live like them.

1Peter 2:9 (AMP) says, But you are a chosen race, a royal

priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God's] own purchased, special

people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display

the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of

darkness into His marvelous light."

Prayer.
Dear Father, I thank You for the responsibility to lead. I ask

that my life will be for Your praise and glory. May Christ be

formed and manifested in and through me to my world today and

always, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
