Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.
To ANY and ALL people who desire the ROLE of/as a LEADER.............................
BE WARNED!!! It is not all it is cracked up to be!!!!
James 3:1 (KJV)
1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
An OLD southern slang goes like this!!
In the huddle the messenger sent in by the coach tells the quarterback,
“Give that ball to Willie B!!”
The quarterback relies back,
“BUT WILLIE B SAY HE DON'T WANT THAT BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
AMEN AND AMEN-Give that BALL to ANYONE but me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Being a MASTER/leader requires that he/she MUST go first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John 10:4 (KJV)
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
Jesus PERFECTLY illustrated the DUTY of a TRUE leader!!!
John 10:4 (KJV)
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
Please note that a TRUE SHEPHERD/ “LEADER” “goeth BEFORE them.............
and the sheep FOLLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Again, it is NO FUN being a leader!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In THIS life there are three circumstances we ALL fall into.
1)-Those of US who are FIXING' to attempt to cross the raging Jordan river!!!!
2)- Those of US who are IN the raging Jordan river.
3)- Those of US who COMPLETED the passing THROUGH the raging Jordan river.
TODAY, YOU are one of the above- FIXIN, IN, FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every day I am confronted with hurting individuals in the three stage of crossing their Jordan rivers.
I take little pleasure in being the comforter!!! I really wish often that God would NOT “give ME that ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Give it to someone else.................................AMEN!!??
2 Corinthians 1:4 (KJV)
4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
BUT the TRUTH is one cannot give to another what they themselves do not own!!!!
As old Andre Crouch wailed:
“IF I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM HOW WOULD I KNOW THAT GOD COULD SOLVE THEM..................
HOW WOULD I KNOW WHAT FAITH IN GOD CAN DO???????????????
THROUGH IT ALL.....................................................
Take COMFORT today in the Words of David:
Psalm 23:4 (KJV)
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
The KEY Word is “THROUGH!”
God IS able to get/take YOU “THROUGH” whatever battle you find yourselves in TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINANCIAL/SPIRITUAL/SICKNESS/FUTURE/PAST-WHATEVER AND WHEREVER!!
The SAME God who got you through yesterday and last week/month/year is the same God who can and WILL get you through that raging Jordan river NOW!!!
Ephesians 3:20-21 (KJV)
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
GIVE GOD THE GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sATAN THE BLOOD OF JESUS IS AGAINST YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 Thessalonians 4:18 (KJV)
