“A bishop then must be blameless, …”
1 Timothy 3:2(KJV)
From our opening scripture today, the Bible shows us a very important requirement for leadership, a leader must be blameless. If this requirement for leadership is good for ministry in God's house, then it will be good for business and every other platform of leadership.
I had the opportunity to watch an interview of two of the world's richest men, during the interview, the younger one of the two men was asked to say what he admired in the older man. He answered and said, “… his integrity.” And he went on to say that if you have solid principles, it will take you through anything. This means that if you can follow the principles of leadership in the Bible, it will put you above even those in the secular world who are dishonest.
You do not need to wait till you are made a leader before you begin to practice these principles. Start practicing these principles now from where you are because as you do, they will take you to the top. Upholding integrity in your life will announce you for leadership. People will be willing to follow you because they know you can be trusted.
You can live your life above reproach, you can live a life that is scandal free. It is important you make that your mindset. This is because if you could not live a life that is scandal free and blameless, God will not demand it of you. Child of God I want you to know according to Philippians 4:13 that you can do all things through Christ which strengthens you. Therefore you can be blameless.
PRAYER
Dear Father I thank you because you are at work in me both to will and to do of your good pleasure. I thank you Father for you are able to keep me from falling, therefore, I receive grace by your Spirit to live a life that is free from reproach in Jesus Name. Amen.
For further study read:
Philippians 2:13-15, 1 Thessalonians 5:23,
Jude 1:24-25.
DOING THE WORD
If you have been living a life of compromise I encourage you to repent today and begin to follow the right principles.
