Leadership Intergrity (Part 4) - The Perished Privileged

An action that cannot or does not produce visible reaction is as good as dead – inactive (no action). So, when there no vision, no action the outcome is not known. (discuss in details how this affects our organization, community, and the country at large). “To every action there is equal and opposite reaction”

                                                             PHASE 04
THE PERISHED PRIVILEGED
As usual, let’s go back the root sentence again. “… The people perished”
  • Which law states this?
  • How can it affect our very existence?
Now pay attention to this: “My people are being destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you (the priestly nation) have rejected knowledge. I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me…7”. The privileged priest started the rejection process. They were a nation of priests, priceless people, love by the Almighty, cherished by heaven, adored by nature; yet destroyed by ignorance. What an irony of life.

The fact that God loves you is not guarantee to allow ignorance linger at the door of your precious heart. The privileged sect were called, selected, and separated for greater glory but something happened; the destroyer sneaked in, consumes their passion, killed their enthusiasm and bring to naught the destiny of the nation once loved and highly priced by the LORD Almighty.

A TIMELY WARNING TO THE CARELESS

Listen people, no matter how anointed you are, however gifted you may be, once you begin to meddle with ignorance, darkness, confusion, and shadows; you begin to lose your inheritance; even your very God-given inheritance. Why should the priceless privileged sons and daughters of GOD be destroyed and perish? That is about what ignorance can accomplish. Once you’re found to be in relationship of any kind with ignorance, the Almighty loses interest in you. The cry will be; ‘how are the mighty fallen!’ The lamentation of darkness becomes the songs of your soul. May that not be your lot in this life!

WHEN VISION IS RECEIVED
Listen friends, I’ve got a good news for you today. All hope is not lost! I’ve been given the mandate to declare that you’ll live again, you will smile again. There is a resurrection for you. Listen; Lazarus – was dead for four days; the Master came around, at the grave, the grave this was buried, He called forth and Lazarus was restored back to life again. He was the big brother of the house, hope you know that? That means he’s like the vision of the family, but now dead. Praise is to Yahshua Messiah, for his timely arrival. You will reclaim your lost vision; and when that happens, the Creator will be glorified; and your life will take a new turn entirely.

Vision is the closest friend of time, waste it and your entire life becomes a waste! There was this write up by Michael Lebeof, he once said of time: “Waste your money, you are out of it; but waste your time, you have lost it for the rest of your life”. When vision is lost, halve lives are gone. “No nation can grow and develop without its own vision8”. When visions are revived, even the lost opportunities in life are regained. Regaining our vision in life can nullify even the so called proverb of Portuguese that said: “Hell is paved with good intensions and roofed with lost opportunities”.

Yes, that proverb will surely be reversed, and heaven will smile on you again. It does not matter what had happened to you in this life, all that counts is your willingness to be revived from visionless, aimless and vain life. The Master; Yahshua Messiah is waiting to fix things around you. Just take a journey of trust and see the end result! “A very great vision is needed, and the man who has it must follow it as the eagle seeks the deepest blue of the sky9”. The place of hope, the city of restoration – the deepest blue sky! What a hope! One of the Art Midoros write-ups said: “Dreams and visions are infused into men for their advantage and instruction…”

How true this is! It’s so powerful and factual. Inside of you lies the instructions of the Creator, live by them, and you will be great in life. Everything He does as far as the planet earth is concern is first and foremost to our advantage, but the enemy comes and tells us otherwise. Please I’d like you to take this advice from Napoleon Hill: “Cherish your visions and your dreams. They are the children of your soul, the blue prints of your ultimate achievements”. What a timely encouragement! Heaven will never leave us stranded on the path of life, never! Leaders are those who value information and they cherish knowledge, it is the light of the soul and the candle of hope, in this hopeless world. But listen to this: “In life, many thoughts are born in the course of a moment, an hour, and a day Some are visions, some dreams. Often, we are unable to distinguish between them. To some, they are the same; however, not all dreams are visions.

Much energy is lost in fanciful dreams that never bear fruit. But visions are messages from the Great Spirit (the Holy Ghost) … I added …each for a different purpose in life. Consequently, one person’s vision may not be that of another. To have a vision, one must be prepared to receive it, and when it comes, to accept it. Thus when these inner urges become reality only then can visions be fulfilled. The spirited side of life knows every one’s heart and who to trust. How could a vision be given to someone to harbor if that person could not be trusted to carry it out. The message is simple; commitment precedes vision”19.

CLEANING

We gathered from the above narration that in leadership:
  1. We must learn to love, to cherish, value and hold in high esteem our visions.
  2. Vision is the seed of our destinies.
  3. Is the complete picture of our highest desired achievement in life – it’s crystal.
  4. Visions vary in terms of it conception – meaning; some may start early or very fast, while some: slow and steady.
  5. We must be courageous enough to separate between what vision is and what it’s not – very important!
  6. We must understand that not all dreams are vision.
  7. People waste time and resources pursuing what is not vision – fruitlessness!
  8. Vision is the spirit of leadership.
  9. In leadership, what gives you focus and determination is vision – don’t ignore it.
  10. Preparation is the mother of vision conception. Don’t underrate this.
  11. It is possible to kill a vision.
  12. Vision can be pre-matured, without the inspiration of the Holy Ghost.
  13. Elohim – God, has the ultimate power and determines who is fit to receive a vision. Trust is one thing He desires.
  14. Until you are able to earn God’s confidence, you cannot be called or used by Him. Remember? “How could vision be given to someone to harbor if that person could not be trusted to carry it out!” 
  15. Finally, commitment is the back-bone of vision and the power to accomplish it.
Please, carefully pay attention to what I’m about to say: “Come to my heart only if you can earn my trust, and has the commitment to stand for what you know”

TRUST
Please do yourself a favour, do all you can to earn God’s trust. Proceed further to earn your present leader’s trust. Don’t stop there, do all you can to earn your spouse’s trust; it is a worthy course. No trust, no life, no fulfillment, all is shadow without trust. I’d like to suggest that you get my book on: “Tested to be Trusted”. *Mention all the Biblical character and leaders you know, that were not trusted by God; why? What happened?
