Succesful Leaders Stand With God

July 2, 2009 by admin 4 Comments

 Recently in a conversation with an individual in leadership he spoke of his belief in God but in the same conversation stated,” That politics is no place for the church.” When he stated this the first thought that came to mind was,” Does he even know who the church is?”  Then I firmly stated,” That this is exactly what is wrong with our country today because without the discipline and wisdom in the Word of God then we do not properly serve the people. The church is not a building or a place but it dwells within us and it is our duty to uphold the Word of  God in everything we do from our homes, to our schools, to our churches, from our work place, and even in our government.”

 This separation in church and state is tearing our homes and our our nation apart. We must hold ourselves accountable under God the Supreme Judge in knowing that we do not hold all the answers and learn how to follow the Word of God in everything we do. By leaving God out of our lives begins to raise man in the flesh and when this happens it is just a matter of time before the struggles set in before the fall. This is a proven fact in history and our fore fathers new this when building this country.

 Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and every other gentlemen who assisted in the writing of the Declaration of Independence put aside their personal beliefs in order to not misguide the meaning of true freedom. But  they never intended to have God removed from our American foundation! Any and every individual living in this country has the right to believe how they choose based on every individuals freewill because this is the core principle in the meaning of love and in order to hold this country together we must keep God in front!

Love is free and not directed!

George Washington once said,”It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”

John Adams who also played a major roll in our country also said, “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our constitution was made only for moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”     

 The division of church and state has occurred of  weak individuals who fall tolerant to not speaking what they know in their hearts to be true. It is easy in life to just get by without causing further debates but when we don’t stand for the truth then what will we stand for? 

 Here is a poem from the book Special Delivery and I pray it touches you as it touches me:

A Flag In The Wind

Have you ever stopped to ever watch a flag blowing in the wind?

It moves so graciously in the freedom to no end.

As you watch the flag you will begin to see

The importance of its foundation

Allowing it to be free!

As the flag moves in each direction blowing in the wind

Begin to feel the freedom within its grace

 And this is when you will begin to appreciate

Our freedom in this beautiful place!

There are times the flag may rest

And other times it will stand strong!

But all that really matters within the freedom of the wind

Is that the flags foundation holds to the end!

It is in this appreciation we will find

No other country in all of mankind!

James Harrison

Where Are The Men of God?

June 24, 2009 by admin 3 Comments

 Where are the men of God that once stood with the armour that did not fall weak and remained strong? I can remember a time when men of God stood boldly and declared the Word of God as the Truth and the light to anyone that is misguiding our children and now where are they? Are they asleep? Are they too concerned of persecution? Or, are they to worried about what they may lose?

 Being a man of God does not mean to lay down and be tolerant of sin but to stand strong in the armour of God without waver from the Truth! In order for us to regain what we have lost we must unify in the body of Christ to serve and obey in what is right for our childen of tomorrow! For Jesus plainly tells us,” Those that lead my children astray might as well put a millstone around their neck!” 

 Our country as a whole has fallen to sin because men have forgotten how to work together in the body in understanding their position under God. Many of our leaders and fathers have become lazy, tolerant, blind, deaf, and too secure in their material life to risk losing what they think they own instead of speaking what is right by God and wrong in sin. If men do not begin to come together as one and stand up in faith with Jesus in their hearts in what is right by God, then what do you honestly see in the future for our children of tomorrow?

 We must come together within the Christian body to gain strength and a unified voice that will tremble this earth within the POWER of God in the Holy Spirit!!! If we do not do this then we will only continue to suffer while others will fade away in all the darkness that is surrounding us in this fallen world.

 So what if we lose our lives or everything we have! For with God we have everything and without Him what do we really have? There is great Honor in the Kingdom of God to those that understand the true meaning of putting ourselves second to others instead of first. This is not about disorder but about giving direction to rebuild this nation on the foundation of God while acting in the love of Jesus Christ. There comes a point in every Christian that we must say, ” Enough is enough and what  you are doing is not right by God and hurting the people!”

 John Adams once said,” We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our constitution was made only for moral and religious people. It is inadequate to the government of any other.”

 George Washington once said, ” It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”

 Men of God need to stand up for our children’s future and put aside our personal desires for the sake of others. It is my prayer that we come together as One Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice For All!!! Amen

Small Business & True Leadership

March 17, 2009 by admin 2 Comments

 When you picture small business in America think of it as the soldiers in the field doing the work and when you picture corporate America think of it as the commanding officers sitting back at a distance. If you can see this picture, then picture this:

 The soldiers in the field being small business were holding their ground in this economy until corporate America our commanding officers started to fall in the background because they lost their perspective in how to stay in touch from the bottom to the top. They fell to the numbers game and forgot the people.

 Think about it! If all we hear in the media is how bad everything is doing, what do you think this is doing to the moral of the workers or soldiers in the field? I don’t know about you but I want leadership that seeks God first and seeks His wisdom in times of trouble in order to maintain our strength. For if all we hear is our commanding officers crying out for help or saying I did not cause this mess then what do you really expect in this recession?

 Always remember the soldiers or workers in the field are the ones who win the wars but when their commanding officers restrict them to a point of little movement then what do you really expect? True leaders take charge in times of trouble and support the people because they know who does the work in getting the job done. Leadership is about delegation and structure with discipline to maintain order! When leaders try to do all parts then this only creates worse conditions because they can’t get the job done without the peoples support. 

 It is time that every American comes together as one to help rebuild this nation and look for leaders that will state their position under God in holding their ground! We all make mistakes but their comes a point that we must work together in what is right for the people to build a future for our children of tomorrow.

Don’t be like Eli in 1st Samuel and miss something that has been given by God. If you recall with Eli he did not listen because the Word of God was rare in those days and he did not recognize what was taking place until he saw the persistence of Samuel…
