Journey of Leadership With Benjamin Suulola

Journey of Leadership

There is something that always make me tremble before the Lord in prayer about leadership.

It is what to offer those who look to the Lord for spiritual direction, help and guidance through my ministry.

One of the fearful things about leadership, especially spiritual leadership is the fact that many lives are attached to a leader.

Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed and would have loved to put off the writing of this Journey of Leadership Devotional, the Lord would remind me of those who feeds on Him through the instructions here.

There are those who uses this devotional daily for their personal and family devotions. I have received requests from Church Leaders for permissions to use this devotional as equipping material for the Christian Workers under them.

There are organizations and individuals that glean from the instructions of the Lord through this devotional always.

Please note that I’m not saying this to boast of anything concerning the wide engagement of this devotional. Whatever comes from this devotional is not of me.

Why I have to say all these is simply to let you understand one of the reasons for my fear about serving God’s purpose as a leader.

It is not something that can be carried on or sustained by seeking natural information, copying books written by others or just depending on what your head can supply you.

It has to be a product of a Living Water of the Spirit that Flows within you.

This is how to remain a leader who can continue to be a channel of blessing on behalf of Christ to those you have been called to lead.

The truth I always tell myself is this: I have nothing of value to offer anyone except when the Living Water in me Flows!

The Living Water must take control over me.

He must flow that I may POUR out the Water, which is the Spirit of holiness, healing, refreshing, help, guidance, encouragement, anointing and the light that will glorify Christ in our generation.

So my groaning in prayer is always, LORD, Let Your Living Water Flow through me.

Every time I need to climb the pulpit to bring God again to His people, I always cry to Him that He must let the Holy Spirit, His Living Water to Flow.

Sometimes when I see divers kind of arrogance and demonstration of self sufficient attitude among ministers of God, I always mourn in my heart.

I mourn because revival will continue to tarry until we all come, arrive and submit to God in helpless brokenness for His Living Water to flow through us to the people.

Let me say something to those who have heard the call of God but still remain inactive or fearful because they feel they are not sufficient.

Please maintain that posture of heart before the Lord forever. But don’t stay inactive. Just cry for His Living Water to flow through you. Ask the Holy Ghost to take over. He is ready to flow through every BROKEN VESSEL.

The Living Water will Flow through you!
