Created to influence

Leader is a person who influence others. If you are influecing somebody around you in some ways  - either good or bad ways - you are a leader. Christian leaders are those who lead people to God. They are those who point people up to God. In fact, God desires us to be His godly leaders in everywhere we go, in everything we do, to whoever we meet. God wants us to be the head not the tail

[Deuteronomy 28:13 The Lord will make you the head not the tail ... ]

Being a Christian leader is about living an excellent godly life so that when people see your life, they too will want to live the life as such. As I have mentioned – it is about “influencing others”

We are set apart for God’s purpose, to be God’s instrument, be God’s ambassador on earth. We are to influence people towards Christ and we can do so when we relect Christ and God’s character through our lives. Remember that we all have been CHOSEN and HAND-PICKED by God . The scripture in 1 Peter 2:9 says “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God ……” 

But it doesn’t end there. It goes on to says

” … That you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light”

May us not just sit around and only enjoy the privilege of being called by God.
 Let’s us go out there and get our hands dirty by declaring of what God has done in your life to those around us and leading them to Christ. We are created to influence!

Are you a Christian? *Bang*

I know I should be posting something a little more pleasant than this. But I would want to share what God has been asking me in the past weeks. I believe He has done this to many other devoted Christians around the world and even to my close ones Daniels. God asked me one fine day at work: “What if I call you to die for me, would you?”. Straight away, I responsed like Peter in the Bible, I said “YES GOD!, I would die for you!” I will do whatever you want me to do as long it pleases you.

After a while, I was unsure with the answer I gave to God. Can I really die for Him? I asked my dear sister “Have you ever thought whether or not you can die for God”? She told me that God also asked her this question and it took her a while for her to answer the Lord. And eventually she said “yes”! She can die for God.

I asked her if there is a man standing right behind you with a gun and you are kneeling down, the man is asking you “are you at Christian” and the moment you say “Yes” the bullet “BANG” at your head. Will you still really die for God? She paused and think and she said “Yes, I can die for God”

It took me a while to answer the Lord whether or not I can die for Him. I choose not to reveal my answer here on my blog because it is a personal thing between me and God. But God gave me another insight. He asked me before I dare to say that I can (physically) die for God, would I first choose die to myself by giving up what I need, sacrifice what I want and take up the Cross daily!?! It’s called obDIEnce! –>> Can you see “DIE” in the obdience?

Would you die for God?? – stay tune for the next post :-)
