You Can Be Blameless.
"If anyone wants to provide leadership in the church, good! But there are preconditions: A leader must be well-thought-of..."
1 Timothy 3:1-2 (MSG)
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 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, "... his integrity." And he went on to say that if you have solid principles, it would take you through anything.
This means that if you follow the principles of leadership in the Bible, it will put you above those in the secular world who are dishonest.
You do not need to wait til 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 I 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 that you make that your mindset. This is because, if you could not live a life this is scandal free, God will not demand it from you.
Therefore, I want you to know that you can be blameless because according to Philippians 4:13 you can do all things through Christ which strengthens you.
Prayer.
Dear Father, I thank You because You are at work in me both to will and do of your good pleasure. I thank you Father because 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 2:3-15, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Jude1:24-25
Doing the Word
If you have been living a life of compromise, I encourage you to repent today and begin to follow right principles.
