Calling all Leaders

 “Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people (Acts 6:8).”

Wayshower is another word for leadership. You are a leader. Your leadership is not limited to a title or a position. You are a leader because you are following your own path towards wholeness and balance in your life. You have what it takes inside of you to stand up for what you believe, speak boldly your truth, and see the Christ in every person and in every circumstance. 

Stephen who represents royalty was a Wayshower for all leaders. He was a deacon in the church who stood up for his faith and walked his talk. Spirit flowed through Stephen and his ministry manifested miracles, signs, and wonders. He spoke with boldness and it caused him to receive great persecution. Stephen was bitten, stoned, and eventually killed. He was so advanced in the development of his Christ consciousness that he was able to see the goodness of God in his death and in the people, who were stoning him (Acts 7:55). Stephen prayed for their forgiveness, trusted in God’s divine protection and that knew that anything that happened to him was for God’s glory and his highest good (Genesis 50:20). 

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said “until we find something worth dying for that life is not worth living.” It is easy to speak your truth and stand up for what you believe in a safe and supportive environment. It can be extremely difficult to do this when there are major risks such as loss of marriage, family, friendships, career, religious standing, income or even your life. Amidst of racial tension, social unrest, economic challenges, health crisis, rising death tolls, and political upheaval, God is calling us to stand up as leaders. Will you rise to the occasion and lead from where you are?

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...

  I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3) I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good. Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.   Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good. The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of th...
