Leadership
Extract from Birth and Height
Among instrument of miracles, God uses men in one way or the other. It is therefore necessary to watch carefully how our relationship with brethren and others are handled. it highly expedient that we do it as God has instructed, we cannot afford to mess things up when.
How was Jephthah recommended? He was sent out, yet he could be connected. He was known for a particular job; he could fight. In the book of Genesis 40: 1-3, Joseph and the king’s servant met just in the prison. Joseph was appointed to look after them. “…the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them and he served them! And they continued a season in ward “verse 4 they only spent a season or a year in that regimented apartment.
During this period of time, they dreamed and he interpreted their dreams. One died and the other person was restored. After two years, a situation, which brought Joseph into limelight, emerged. The man they had just a year of fellowship connected him with the palace.
You never can tell who is assigned to connect you to your height. That is why Apostle Paul said “learn to entertain strangers!” Someone must first be at the top before you can be drawn up; if it is the assignment of such person to connect you. Pharaoh’s servant was schemed to connect Joseph, but that season of their relationship gave the man confidence to recommend him. No matter how short the meetings and relationship with people, keep it healthy and love without compromising the truth.
Esther and Mordecai relationship is another prove of connection to a great height. Mordecai may not have been the only uncle Esther had. He was not in any way rich, but he took care of her. He encouraged her until she became the queen. What everyone need in life is not material or money, it is love. Mordecai got to the highest position after the King through Esther.
Many guardians may have destroyed the relationship that may have consolidated their exploit in life.
Who would have heard about Ruth, if she had broken the tie with Naomi or who would have heard about Boaz, if he had done similarly like the right kinsman? Who would have heard about Rehab if she had only sought to entice the two spies and handed them over to their enemy? She kept them and had a permanent link with Christ.
Your journey to the apex is facilitated or destroyed by your relationship. Jonathan protected David many times. Abigail averted the evil that may have come upon Nabal and her household. The girl , a servant in Naaman ’s house connected him to the prophet who was the solution to his problem. They must have been very nice to her. She must have been well treated with dignity, if not, she would have been afraid to confront Naaman’s wife.
There are many connections to your exploit, do not destroy men. They may be at the moment, your servant, relative, children, brothers, friends, school mate or a total stranger. Mind how you treat people, many have secured great testimonies in this wise while many have great regrets. Do not destroy your connector.
For you to be connected in life, it would not be sudden. Searching the life of people likes Jephthah , Joseph, David and Daniel you must have the following:
1. An Identity
2. Good relationship in the past and present.
3. Contact address (Prison and land of Tob )
4. Knowledge and skill (Develop skill and still practising)
Identity
your identity is the picture with which you are recognized . There is a course you are pursuing, a carrier or profession. There is a gift or talent prominently used in your life. There must be an identification tag on you. You may not be employed by anyone or company, but you are not idle either; you are diligent at some reasonable endeavour. This means you need to be distinct in some areas, unique as a person, gracious, have flair and do something relatively with ease before you can be recommended. For you to be identified, you must possess distinction, uniqueness and grace in a specific endeavour. God is known by these attributes. Likewise, you must have qualities that characterize you. Your grace is interpreted in the skill with which you discharge your duties. Joseph was a dreamer and interpreted dreams and gave solution. Daniel had skills (Daniel 2:18), have excellent spirit with which he could dissolve hard sentences
Contact address
It is important that you learn how to handle yourself and others. No one can favourably be connected with you, if you cannot be located. A man without a residential location, postal address or other form of contact models must not be among the living. There cannot be a connection without contact address. The place may be in the manger, desert, valley, wilderness or place, mountain and whatever the definition, do not be ashamed, Joseph was in the prison, yet he was sought for. Jephthah was sent for in the land of Tob ; although, he was living in the jungle, he was discovered . John was in the wilderness. A person’s gift pivoted with skill will create an avenue for him or her to be located. Do not be ashamed of where you presently live.
Knowledge and skill
When you are recommended and invited, there will be need for you to work for the confirmation of your real worth. Without knowledge and skill, this wonderful opportunity of connection will be blown off, it may be one of such in a lifetime. In Genesis 40:1-4 Joseph dreamed and had been in prison for a long time. There was an opportunity based on his previous grace of interpreting dreams of these servants. After many had failed, he was recommended for that same Job. If he had not developed skill in understanding dreams and interpreting with ease while walking and serving God, he must have failed in confirmation. Knowledge and skill will boost your identification. The knowledge and skill developed by Jephthah made him qualify and he was contacted to meet that need.
Ponder on these few laws of connections
