The leaders state of mind

Whoever you may be, i will address you as child of God today instead of addressing you as leaders as i normally do for leadership posts.

Leadership in the kingdom of God is exciting, but being a child of God is even more exciting then there. Leadership demands so much from us that sometimes it whatever we have:

  • When you pray, you pray over your group, your people, your goals.
  • When you pray for yourself, you ask God to give you more wisdom to lead, to give you the skills to guide your people, to give you anointing to charge ahead.
  • When you think of your journey with God, the 1st thing that comes to mind is the resume of leadership positions you have ever held in the church.
  • When you describe who are you in church to your friends, the 1st thing that comes to mind is i'm a leader.
  • How we want and think others will see us: Leaders.
  • How do we think God will see us as: Leaders.
Sometimes, leadership overtakes our identity as a child of God. We become so engulfed in leadership that our role determines our identity in the kingdom of God.

Remember that you are a child of God before you are a leader. God doesn't see us as leaders. He see us as His Child whom he uses to serve in a leadership role. Its good to just remove your leadership tag once in a while and come into God's presence again simply as someone he loves. Its your journey with God at the end of the day.

This leadership phase in my life is just a season in my life. I want my journey with God on earth to be colourful, to be exciting and to be filled with different challenges. Isn't it boring to just stay in one leadership position forever? Or be involved in some leadership rat race? I want to experience life as a church planter, as a university student, as a husband, as an engineer. I don't want any of this to define my life. because no matter what i do or where i am, My life will always be about a journey with God.

God will walk above and I will walk below and here we go.


I'm just a child walking beside a father down a path that will lead to eternity at th end. And together, we will enjoy the different landscapes and weather that will come along the way. As we talk, we share about what we think of the different things we see and we feel. We comfort each other, we are there for one another. Isn't just amazing...

Regards,

Jie Hui
