Leadership and Submission

by Kofu

Genesis 12:1 - The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you

Proverbs 5:6 - She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths are crooked, but she knows it not.

Thoughs are powerful.
From simple thoughts come greater things

Vision
1. Enable you to see tomorrow
2. Believes on God's abilities not yours
3. Needs action
4. Guide decision
5. Passion

To be certain in God's way is to be uncertain in all our ways

Deuteronomy 29:29 - The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.

God knows something you don't. Even Prophets of God do not know.
Secret things will make you walk in faith and that is why you have to believe. If you don't believe, how can you make others to believe?

Genesis 18:1 - The LORD appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day.

1 person with vision = 99 person with interest
because VISION = PASSION

To make vision a reality:
1. See it clearly
2. Write it plainly
3. Say it continually
4. Show it creatively

Hebrew 13:17 - Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.

Leaders have to submit to leadership
Submit to your leaders because God has appointed them

If you say " i can't submit to that person because he/she is not worthy of my respect", you won't submit to anybody. Not even your husband.

Submit to your leader as if to your God. Submit not because the person is worthy but because it's God's command.

Before you judge others, Judge yourself first

Believe, Obedience and Submission
Leader needs to be submissive to leadership
