Lead Like Jesus
It doesn’t take long before people catch on to bad leaders. Sometimes it’s hard to spot and other times it's far too easy. A person will likely never remember every word that was exchanged in a conversation, but they will however remember how the person made them feel. This is why it’s important to understand how crucial each present moment is and every interaction you have with others. There’s a person I know that people ask me about all the time. In fact, just about everyone I know who happens to meet them say that they give off a bad impression and something is off about them. It is a pretty impressive feat to rub everyone the wrong way immediately. Sadly, as a leader myself (understanding that I have potential to impact everyone within my sphere of influence). I have to somehow find the balance of respecting, honoring and being humble yet bold and direct to this person. What I’ve had to do so far is serve with love. I’ve had to try to show the love of God even during the most testing times. Romans 12:20 says to “feed your enemy when they are hungry, give them drink when they are thirsty and in doing so heaping hot coals upon their heads.” And to not be overcome with evil but overcome evil with good! (Romans 12:21)
I’ve come to understand that it is the goodness of God that leads people to repentance. And if someone won’t listen, we must be the example. We must exemplify the love of Christ, especially when our words will be rejected. Recently, there was a gathering and people were getting up to say kind words about this person. My wife and I both said, “we don’t even know what to say.” Thankfully, probably only by God’s Spirit I actually thought of some kind things to say. And I really meant what I said. This person and I haven’t even been on speaking terms for years. Whenever I would say Hi or Hello, they would literally look away somewhere else. But as I left that meeting, this person shook my hand and said “thank you.” This was a huge deal because I realized, they had never shaken my hand before. Ever since then, every once in a while, they will actually acknowledge my existence. That is a big win.
I’ve encountered many different leaders over the years. I have never encountered anyone like Jesus. His skills as a leader far surpasses anyone else's. I can tell by keeping close watch on the details provided in the gospels. The way he developed his disciples was by doing life with them. He didn’t just say, “show up once a week and be on time.” They got to watch first hand how he handled different situations. The other thing I love about Christ was how well he discerned those that he engaged with. When it came to his disciples, he would take his time with his teachings. When it came to others, he would often use parables. When it came to the religious leaders of the day, he would often correct them. But another thing he did with them was, he discerned their motives. This is something I’m just now learning.
One of my friends has been in a long distance relationship. There have been many red flags. One of them being the fact that she mis-led him for months. When they first started talking, he came up with a great idea to write down their prayers for each other in a notebook and at the end of three months they would share them. After sharing them, they would see how closely their prayers were in alignment. I thought this was a very creative idea. Well, for three months she acted like she was on the same page with him. Once it was time to share the prayers with each other, he found that she wrote down a total of zero prayers. So for three months she had the audacity to mis-lead him. So I felt like she wasted his time when she could have just told him upfront that she didn’t want to do it. It appeared she wasn’t ready for commitment. Many red flags later, she got into an argument with him because he said that Christmas was not literally the day Jesus was born. She started calling him stupid over and over and broke up with him. To top it all off, we found out that the name he knows her by isn’t even her real name. So I got straight with him and said, “block her number and stop talking to her, she’s a counterfeit.” He quickly agreed and said, “I think God is making it very obvious by now.”
A little while later, I got on a three-way call with him and my other brother in the Lord (who was recently converted). And this topic comes up. Except my new brother in the Lord tells him advice that would be good for a married couple, but not for his particular circumstance. He tells him that he needs to go the next twenty days giving her words of affirmation. I was mind blown. Sadly, because of work, I had to get off the phone. When I got back on the call, my friend was praising the new brother in the Lord’s advice. I was perplexed. So I called my friend separately to talk to him individually. I told him it was not good advice and not to talk to that girl anymore. I referred to her as a counterfeit and he goes “so you still think she's a counterfeit?” I was baffled, because both of us had agreed many times over that this was the case. What I came to realize after talking to wise counsel was that before I go on to give people wisdom, I need to discern their hearts' intentions. Because no matter how much you care about someone and want to see them succeed, you may still be casting pearls to swine.
This wise counsel went on to say, the reason he was so quick to talk to the girl again was because he got permission by the newly converted brother in the Lord. He said, when he asked for advice, what he really wanted was permission and you didn’t give it, so he got it elsewhere. So a part of being a good leader, is knowing your audience, using discernment and using wisdom when sharing wisdom.
Another thing to keep in mind is that in order to be a good leader, we must be willing to be a good follower. Proverbs says with wise counsel our plans are established.
Plans are established by seeking advice; so if you wage war, obtain guidance. (Proverbs 20:18)
We’ve all made mistakes, we’ve all been there. But a part of being a good leader means becoming a mature person. We cannot mature spiritually if we haven’t matured emotionally. Because we must not be led by our emotions. This means I must not be frustrated when people don’t listen. Ultimately, God will do the work in people as he perfects them in the coming days. I can plant seeds and water but only God can give real increase. And my prayer as a leader is to provide healthy soil (environment) for people to grow.
I hope to grow in the LORD as His Spirit teaches me more and more as a leader. But what I never want to lose is the reality that I am His student and His disciple first. Because I cannot afford to make anything about myself. If I truly care for God’s kingdom, then I will take care of His sheep with compassion, the way Jesus did.

Having a real-time relationship with the Holy Ghost is life changing. So many are relying on their own ability, intellect, understanding.. etc. but nothing compares with real-time conversation, face to face connection with the Holy Spirit. It’s no wonder many are falling away. The truth is, it can happen to any of us. Even Paul said it could happen to the strongest of us (apostles) so in other words.. if it is up to us, it’s easy to fail. But with God all things are possible. He can uphold us. So By faith, rely solely on Him. We need more of that in this ever changing world, 2022. ♥️🙌🏼 stay strong family.

The Joy of the LORD is my strength.
That statement alone can preach. Where do you place your trust? Is it in your ability to stay pure or accomplish what you’ve set out to do? Or is it the Joy of the LORD that inspires you to go the extra mile? I’ve been on both sides of it. While relying on my own strength and claiming I’m not operating in performance based Christianity. I’ve often resorted to thoughts of confusion, wondering how to get on track. Which in itself is proof I wasn’t relying on God to give me strength but my own ability. It’s a weird place to be and isnt easy to get out of. But once you do. It is freedom that produces nothing but Peace & Joy in the Holy Ghost! HolyMountaiin.com

Originality is Rare. We’re programmed by the echo chambers we stick ourselves in daily. Hypnotized by the Wave we want to be a part of. Tricked by the idea of being seen and the glory of being the man in front of man, while operating in the “Fear of Man.” Even more afraid of being ourselves and expressing ourselves fully in the midst of critics who never did it. No one is promised tomorrow. Each of us has the ability to change something one day at a time. Physical immortality isn’t the answer to death. Money isn’t the answer to brokenness. It’s what you do with the allotted time that matters. The people who are the most successful to me are those who are truly themselves & never gave up on Dreams. Never placed they’re value in what they do or don’t. But who they are through it all. How they respond to each situation they face. And those who know they are on borrowed time, and must use it wisely. To make their imprint on this world last even after they go. True Immortality is how your remembered after you leave the physical realm, and transition to a higher plain of existence. Purpose is when you realize what you were made for. And push through every obstacle to get to what you destined for.
What ever change you need to make to reach your goals. Do it. Usually it’s us who have to change to get there. Before our situation changes at all. But once we are willing to die a little, we find that we are free to live more than ever.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
Matthew 6:33
🙌🏼
A lot of worries. So many questions. Nothing is for certain. But in the midst of chaos, God is unshakeable and unchangable. He upholds those who Trust in Him. He provides for His children. He rewards those who diligently seek Him. Our circumstances may change and in these seasons, we may wonder if God has also changed or if he is really there for us. The truth is that He sees you when no one else knows the hurt & pain that you have endured for years. Even the numbness you’ve grown inside due to many seasons of disappointment. He is the only one who can truly soften the hardest heart. Trust Him and you will see him move in your life. When you declare that your life is in His hands, you’ll see His hand move in your life. Sometimes our minds are drawn to what the enemy is doing.. because we are made to try to figure things out... but there comes a point where all you can do is surrender everything... and when that happens. Is where miracles happen. Blessed is the one that trusts in the Lord most High. Jehovah sees you and knows you when no one else really gets it. I pray your eyes be enlightened to the hope to which he has called you. His plans are perfect, but we are often blinded by our own plans. But the righteous mans steps are ordered by the Lord & His purposes shall be fulfilled.
