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🙏

Divine Opening

By Date -
Divine Opening “ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; ” - - - Isaiah 45:1 Hallelujah! God has graciously brought us to the second month of this year. As the Lord themed this year as our year of Divine Beautification so also is this month themed as our month of Divine Openings. You may be thinking how will come bring to past His promises but remember that God can do anything at any time He wishes to. He can use anyone to bring to pass this Divine Opening. From the passage, He used Cyrus to subdue nations and Jehovah using any person to do His will is not an issue. I pray that in any area of your life that you are experiencing difficult and closed doors, Jehovah will cause the doors to be open unto you. No more will you experience difficulty and shortages. The doors of your supply are open...

Do Your Search

By Date -
Do Your Search Acts 17:11 – These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. While in college and high school, you will agree with me that after you are taught by your instructor, you carried out some search to attain the truth and to know more. This we all did for a degree and knowledge that is corruptible, aren’t we supposed to do more for a knowledge that incorruptible and that will lead to our salvation? It is advisable that we should always search the scriptures even if it is the most revered religious leader or person that just spoken from the scripture. To stay deceivable then don’t study or search the scriptures but remember many even the agents of darkness can preach and quote the scriptures but they do this by tailoring the scripture to suite their purpose, 1 Thessalonians 5:21, 2 Corinthian 11:14-15. Beloved study your bible frequently, 2 Timoth...

Make Me Known!

Make Me Known! Habakkuk 3:2 [2] Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the middle of the years. In the middle of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy. Thanks to Jehovah that were in the second half of the year and in the month of revival. By grace even as you have reverential awe and fear for the Lord, the divine revival will continue throughout your life time. I write to you under grace that the Good thing you heard and saw that was done by God will be repeated in your life. Even those things that haven't been heard, seen or perceived; receive grace to testify of it in your life. God will announce you to your world. He'll redo all the good He did in your life. His mercy will always speak for you.
