"Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and model your way of living on it, and the God of peace (of *untroubled, undisturbed well-being) will be with you." -The Apostle Paul
Your life and leadership was designed to be a model for those you lead.
It was designed to produce an untroubled, undisturbed composure in the lives of those that follow you.
Does it?
· Are you a model citizen in the Kingdom of God?
· Are you a model of the King (and of His Presence, forgiveness love, patience, words, excellence, virtue and integrity?)
· Are you proud of what people have heard and seen in your professional and personal decisions?
There is a difference from what people have "learned" and "received" from you.
To "learn" something is to gain (a habit, mannerism, etc.) by experience, exposure to example, or the like; it is to acquire, to gain knowledge, information, comprehension, or skill.
To "receive" is to have (something) bestowed or conferred; is to accept from another by hearing or listening; to take or acquire (something given, offered, or transmitted.)
Just because you have not intentionally taught your children (or those you lead) a habit (or sinful tendency) doesn't mean they haven't "received" it from you.
We inherit stuff from our predecessors whether we like it or not. When you take over a department, a political office, business, team, position, client or lineage, let's face it, you inherit the mess of someone else. Just like someone else can inherit yours.
But Zig Ziglar once said, "You can transform any mess into a message."
Our citizenship has now changed.
The Apostle Paul wrote:
"Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens), but you now share citizenship with the saints (God's own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong to God's [own] household" (Eph. 2:19.)
Citizenship is effectively an entitlement to the "dividend" arising from the social infrastructure accumulated in a particular country of birth.
The Apostle John added:
"Whatever is born of God overcomes the world. The conquering power that brings the world to its knees is our faith. The person who wins out over the world's ways is simply the one who believes Jesus is the Son of God" (1 Jn. 5:3-5.)
By faith, you have been regenerated (born again), not from a mortal origin (seed, sperm), but an incorruptible one that is fadeless under all circumstances, and endures everything.
Any behavior beneath Kingdom citizenship is a direct inheritance of the faulty bloodline of Adam and Eve.
Often the first example (or point of reference) we see is a poor one.
Therefore in life, we must unlearn and relearn some things. We must pattern our life around mentors, because we cannot lead unless we are being led. You won't live long enough to learn everything yourself.
The Apostle Paul continued:
"For who separates you from the others [as a faction leader]? [Who makes you superior and sets you apart from another, giving you the preeminence?] What have you that was not given to you? If then you received it [from someone], why do you boast as if you had not received [but had gained it by your own efforts]?" (1 Cor. 4:7)
As leaders, it is important to stay connected to individuals that can harness and maximize the divine creativity, wisdom, knowledge, resources and accountability needed to ignite our success.
It may have been "cute" when you were growing up to "look like your parents." But it's not cute to resemble your ancestor's generational destructive marriages, relationships, habits and work ethic for your generation (seeping into the next one.)
If you are not being constantly transformed by the renewal of your mind (in the Word of God) you will conform to this world or age. And you will struggle to prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].
Today, people inherited something from you yesterday.
What is it?
Ask the Lord to help you model Him and release His inheritance on the earth.
Mentor others - You must release what you have (what you know and what you do) to increase it. If you are not pregnant with the lives and accountability of others, you are barren and unfruitful.
Dare to become the pattern and human bridge to someone else's success and destiny.
Expect blessings of good things to meet you daily.
Yes, YOU CAN boldly call into existence what is unseen. If you can imagine yourself fired, laid off, unemployed or uneducated, then imagine yourself promoted, favored, with your degree and working in your dream position; then take the steps necessary to get there.
You are God's pattern (ark) to carry someone's destiny to dry ground.
