A Leader Is Constantly Aware Of His Vision And Purpose
A leader is someone who is constantly aware of his purpose. Jesus knew why he was in this world. Even in times of great stress, he explained his life’s purpose. I am constantly aware of what God has called me to do. Every day of my life is spent trying to fulfil the calling of God on my life. When you are aware of what you are supposed to do, you are guided aright into spending your time appropriately.
If you only remember that you are a pastor when you arrive in church, then you are probably not a real pastor. When I was a lay person working in the hospital, I was constantly aware of my calling into the ministry. Even when Jesus was a child, He said, “I must be about my Father’s business.”
1. Jesus Christ stated His purpose to His parents.
And he said unto them, how is it that ye sought me? Wish ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
Luke 2:49
2. Jesus Christ stated His purpose to other religious people like Nicodemus.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
John 3:16, 17
3. Jesus Christ stated His purpose to his disciples
From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
Matthew 16:21
4. Jesus Christ stated His purpose to unbelievers like Zacchaeus.
And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
And Jesus said unto him, “This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Luke 19:8-10
5. Jesus Christ stated His purpose to enemies like Pilate.
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
John 18:37
Dear leader, what is your life’s purpose? Are you a businessman trying to make money? Then why does your business run like a charity? Why do you not cut your expenses and begin to make profits? Are you a minister of the gospel? Then don’t be taken up with the love of money. God did not call you to acquire great wealth. He called you to serve in the ministry. Do the ministry even if you have to live in poverty.
God gave me a dream. In the dream, I saw myself walking on a long road. Along this road were many heaps of gold. As I walked on the path, I would pass by these heaps of gold. The Lord specifically told me, “Do not stop at any of these heaps.
There are many heaps of gold on this road. There will be no need for you to stop by any of them.” You see, God was showing me that I should stick with my vision. He was telling me not to deviate into business or the search for money.
Are you a leader? Then let your vision fill your heart and mind so that you will not deviate from your original calling. If you are a minister, remember that it is souls, souls and more souls. Not money, money and more money!
