“To be a great leader, you would have to commit yourself to doing something that is of great value to others.”
READ: Genesis 47:5-6
By Ben Dankaka
One day, Jesus embarked on a journey to the Sea, so He could have a quiet time. But a crowd of five thousand people followed Him. Although Jesus didn’t invite any of them, they followed Him, all the way to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee. Now why would such a huge crowd of people, leave their comfort zones and follow Jesus to a deserted place? According to the scripture, the people had followed Jesus “because they saw the miraculous signs he had performed on the sick” (John 6:2).
To be powerful, you have to commit yourself to doing something that is of great value to others. People aren’t going to follow you because they like your face. The Bible didn’t say the people followed Jesus because they liked Him. They followed Him because He had something to offer. What you can offer is the main thing. The thousands that followed Jesus were mainly concerned with the miracles. What can you do that will be of great value to others? Your ability to discover your unique gifts, and then offer it to others will determine how relevant you would be to your generation. Focus on your gifts!
Prayer/Confession: Today, I shall focus on the gifts that I have been given by my Heavenly Father.
