Leadership Failure and Repentance

MEDITATION

Leadership Failure and Repentance
2 KINGS 12:1-16

1. Leadership failure
a. Imperfect, partial obedience and compliance to the word of God v3. "Just a little" worldliness, sin, compromise and permissiveness  by the leader and the led.
b. Inability to command full obedience to God's standard v3.
Q What are the reasons why leaders at times chicken out from full compliance and enforcement of God's standard? It takes courage to do and enforce full obedience to God, Joshua 1:6,7.
c. Leadership negligence: The temple was left in a state of disrepair for 23 years v6. Does it mean he was not going to the temple for 23 years? Procrastination? Busy with less important things etc?
e. Poor supervision of the subordinate's responsibilities vv6,7. The priestly responsibility was not done for 23 years and the king kept mute until after 23 years!
e. Delay in taking action on matters of emergency vv6,7.
f. Wastage of divinely given resources vv7,8. They had the money but delayed using it for the purpose meant for out of negligence.



Q What other leadership failures could you observe in the text?
2. Leadership repentance
a. The leaders repented from the sin of negligence, wastages of God's resources, unnecessary delay in doing what was right, poor mentorship and supervision, half hearted obedience to God, feebleness in enforcing the perfect will of God, etc. 
b. Q Outline how they demonstrated repentance in the text. 
Ponder on where you may be found wanting as a leader because all your actions are in eternal records waiting for the time of reckoning. "Every man's work shall be tested..." and rewarded accordingly.

Ask for forgiveness where you are wanting as a leader, secular or spiritual🙏
Pray that God will teach and train you to be an effective and faithful leader in God's hand🙏
Pray for your spiritual leaders that the mercy and grace of God will multiply in their lives 🙏
Pray for our secular leaders that the Spirit of God will rule their decisions even their will will be overruled🙏

Heart Not Garment - 2

By Date -
"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

The True Picture Of The Church Today II

By Date -
THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: Sunday 7th, June 2020. TOPIC: The True Picture Of The Church Today II TEXT: Rev. 3:15  MESSAGE "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot".Vs 15, so then because thou art lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Lukewarmness and indifference in religion is the worst tempter in the world. The husband of a lukewarm wife is always confused as he would not know when and how to please the wife. So are members of the church whose heart cannot be determined. They are between two opinions. We also have these in the church because they are high minded and proud, they have unknowingly overlooked the necessity of their souls as they gorgeously dressed up in Costly apparel at the expense and decay of their souls, making them to be wretched poor and miserable.  Also there is the state of blindness which the devil is using against the church today which has made them very weak and defensele...
