The Called Is Made Qualified: Leadership Lesson 1

Regardless of our backgrounds and our pasts, when God calls us to Lead, we should obey.

I am unworthy: So what? Should you care if you make a mess out of it, or if you should succeed? Let us go back to the point that if we are following God's plans, it is not about us: it is about Him--it is about God! There is no need to worry too much, or even worry at all: God has already planned everything.

What if I fail?
Ah, yes you could fail. And yes, you could experience shame and disappointment, but it is expected. God did not promise that He will remove all obstacles along the way. He only assured for the provision of strength to make it through--if we believe in Him. Temporarily, you may suffer setbacks, but it will all end up for your good. God plans it to be so.

The called is made qualified: and we better believe it!

Do not be overwhelmed by the worldly threats and dangers, because when God wants you to lead, He will provide you with the resources to be effective in that role. You don't have to trust in yourself actually, you only have to trust God--the rest will follow.
