Are You a Leader?

Given that definition, every single one of us is a leader. 

Who do you interact with and what arenas do you walk in ? No matter if you are a stay at home parent, grandparent, bank teller, office worker, nurse, retail clerk or teacher; you have a ministry and people you can influence every day. From your own home to your workplace or even the grocery store, there are many people within your sphere that you can influence with His love. People are drawn to passion. When you are passionate about His love, you are attractive to other people.

The person in line ahead of you at the store looks very distressed and could really benefit from an encouraging word. It does not have to be very detailed or scripture based but just a reflection of His love delivered at the perfect time and place.

Maybe you feel that you do not have enough strength to lead anyone. You are stronger than you think. Your words are powerful and release faith in the atmosphere.

Isa. 40:29 He gives strength to the weary and increases power to the weak.

Isa. 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, For I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Luke 1:37 For no word from God shall be void of power.

You are a member of God's army, called to spread His love in your daily interactions. A smile or opening a door to the woman who has her hands full or for the older gentleman who is walking with a cane. That simple exchange can dispel darkness and shift the atmosphere.

“Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s'. 2 Chronicles 20:15

The good news is that we are called to His army but the battle still belongs to the Lord. We put on our armor, speak truth and let God. The victory belongs to Jesus!
