Jesus Christ did not shoot a single bullet. He did
not call for a revolution. He did not lead a crowd of ragtag rebels yet He
impacted the lives of multitudes of people. The people were transformed by the
teachings of Jesus Christ. Willingly, they followed Jesus and abandoned the old
ways which held them captive. The teachings of Jesus Christ liberated them from
the lies and manipulative teachings of the religious leaders of the day which
held them bound to traditions which had no relevance to the love, mercy and
compassion of God for His people.
The teaching of the Prophet Zechariah propelled the
people of Judah to rebuild the temple of God. Additionally, the teaching
ensured a renewed confidence in God and His power to always make
impossibilities possibilities. Also, the deflated self-esteem of the people was
rekindled and blown to great heights. This was because Zechariah’s teachings
based on the word of God reminded the people aware of who they were; a special
people of God designed for great works. With their self-esteem rebuilt and
enhanced, they soared and excelled at the divine tasks assigned to them. They
also prospered because God was with them and He blessed everything they set
their hands to do.
As leaders in families, communities, institutions
and nations, you should speak powerful words as instructed by the Holy Spirit
so you can change the mindsets of people from darkness to the light of Christ
in order to bring God’s healing and deliverance to the nations in the mighty
name of Jesus Christ. As you speak positive words by the Spirit of God over the
people you lead, great transformation will take place in their lives by the
Spirit of God.
But if you consistently place restrictions and
limitations on the people you lead through the teachings you pass on to the
people occasioned by a tunnel vision which you have; the people will be in
darkness and bondage especially so when you employ the tools of manipulation by
pitting people against each other through flattery, threats of not being
blessed by God if people do not do your bidding. This is as good as cursing
people as you are not releasing the word of God and the power of the word to
the people. Beloved, bless the people and the nations with the word of God in
your mouth to bring healing and transformation.
Otherwise, if they have the opportunity of sitting
under a leadership which speaks powerful words by the Spirit of God, they
experience freedom and deliverance; in point of fact, great freedom to soar, to
be the best of who God wants them to be. This is because they are able to shake
off the restrictions and limitations placed on them on account of the teachings
which held them bound. Additionally, if you use emotional blackmail to personal
advantage so the people are compelled to do your bidding and not God’s bidding
for their lives, then freedom and deliverance has come to the people. This is because they immediately empty
themselves of such non edifying spiritual and emotional baggage. They also
experience great freedom as they take on the word of God, apply the word of God
in their lives and become who and what God wants them to be. More importantly,
they will not want to have anything to do with you. Therefore, speak as God
would have you speak and bless the people and the nations. Shalom
