Remember Caleb and Joshua? Moses sent them into the Promised Land with a task force of other leaders. Their assignment was to explore the land, to check the people, see if the cities were walled or fortified and check out the soil. Does the land have trees and please bring back some samples of the fruit. The explorers returned from the Promised Land and shared the bountiful harvest and incredible opportunities in the land. They brought reports and samples of fruit and the bountiful harvest. “They cut off a branch bearing a single cluster of grapes. Two of them carried it on a pole between them, along with some pomegranates and figs.” (Numbers 13:23 NIV)
Scripture challenges us, just like Caleb and Joshua challenged the people.
“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3 NIV)
Haggai encourages us to consider our ways (plans systems, activities) to see if they are working, “the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai. “Give careful thought to your ways!” (Haggai 1:3 + 7 NIV)
Paul tells us, “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal.” (Philippians 3:13-14 NIV)
We have churches, worship services, Bible studies, Devotional sessions and Life Group meetings all over our world. We have staff and volunteers who want to serve. Our community and world needs Christ. We are trained to introduce a person to a relationship with Christ.
“Leaders have incredible opportunity to impact lives. Build into people like they are on your team forever.”(Pat Gelsinger, H3 Leadership)
It is a special honour. We each have the best role in the world. We get to share with people wherever we live, travel and work. Let’s each demonstrate God’s love in everything we do this week.
Leadership is touching the lives of leaders in your community.
Yours in Service,
