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🙏

Sheep’s Clothing!

By Date -
Sheep’s Clothing! Matthew 7:14 – Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. It is no more a news that there are many false prophets in this world. They have been even since the Bible days. Elymas in Acts 13:8 was a false prophet that tried to pervert the heart of the people from God. That is the work of these false prophets. They are workers of the devil and nothing about their life is God’s; from the outside they look like God’s prophets and messengers but they are recruiting souls for the devil. They use magic, human wisdom, human strategies to do their work. Consider again, Balaam to an extent I will consider him as a false prophet because he tried to curse the blessed of God and to stop the will of God for His children. Though Balaam hears from God but he wasn’t doing things according to God’s plan and agenda. He planned to even make God’s children fall. Please read Revelation 2:14 and Jude 1:11. Those in sheep’s c

Ceaseless Celebration

Ceaseless Celebration Leviticus 26:6 – And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land Ezekiel 32:1-10; 34:25-31, Esther 9:1-22, Jeremiah 52:31-34 With Joy, I welcome you all into this month. In this month, we will record ceaseless celebration on every side. This is as a result of what God has done for us and what He is doing as well. He has given us peace and rest on every side. He has incapacitated the enemies of our lives. This is indeed wonderful. In this last month of 2017, the magnitude of God’s judgement on the enemies of your life will render them missing on Earth and you will be celebrated. If you haven’t celebrated this year, this month grace will make you celebrate and if you had celebrated, your celebration will not cease or to sorrow. God will put laughter on your face, royal garments on you and you will be recompensed for all the cel

Grace for Exceeding Multiplication

By Date -
Grace for Exceeding Multiplication Genesis 17:1-2, 2 Corinthians 8:9 [2] And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. Grace is God's Riches At Christ Expense. It is the almightiness of God invading the hopelessness of human. It is a commander of attention. It reduces sweat and increases accomplishments, Psalm 89:20. Exceeding means to be very great and to surpass others. To set a new record. Multiplication is to increase greatly in number, not step by step as in addition. PREREQUISITE 1 - OBEDIENCE - Leviticus 25:18 You can't increase when you are unfaithful in your tithing obligation and others. 2 - REMEMBER THOSE THAT HAVE RULE OVER YOU - Hebrews 13:7. The blessing is given by GRACE and the blessing can be multiplied by GRACE, 2 Corinthians 8:1-4, Acts 4:32-35. PRAYERS May Divine grace for expansion be released upon us - Amen. ________________ A sermon by Apostle Samuel Idedevwo of Christ's Chosen Church of God
