What a week it’s been here at the Mission Baltimore School
of Ministry. We just finished up on our
fast, and ended it with the Concert of Prayer, and it was amazing. Throughout the fast, I have been hearing from
God a lot actually. And to my surprise,
he challenged me, to step up in my own personal life. Become the man that I need to be and truly
stand for what’s right. In leadership, “Leadership
is influence nothing more nothing less”.
When you see something is wrong, what determines who you are is how you
respond to it. I have been convicted for
a while, because of not standing for what’s right. But with change and fixing something that is
broken, there is always discomfort. With
me, it’s what will other’s say, how will they react, will they be mad? But I had a conversation with someone that I
trust, and they told me, “What’s being a true friend, being someone who does
what’s needed to better your friend in the long run, or letting things fly
under the radar and bring discomfort in the long run.” And that honestly stuck with me, am I being a person that stands for what is
right, or am I just becoming a people pleaser.
Sometimes it takes one person to stand up to make a change. It’s hard being the bad guy for the right
reason. So I have some personal time to
talk with God and get clarity on the decisions that I have to make. But one thing I know for sure is that it has
to be a decision that is made out of love, not hate or spite. Because true love has no boundaries and that
goes to family, friends and everybody and general. So as you go about you day my challenge to
you is set back reflect and to ask yourself are you a person of integrity who
stands for what’s right? Or are you
somebody who lets things fly under the radar.
My hope and prayer is that you choose to be that person who is the bad
guy for the right reason.
God Bless
