DOING THE WORD
"Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Philippians 4:9"
Devotion : The Apostle Paul, in the opening scripture, gave his disciples a spiritual principle to apply to their life. The Apostle used his lifestyle as a living example to teach the gospel. He believed in leadership by example, a principle which Christ Jesus also taught His disciples, Matthew 28:19-20. There are five vital words/phrases that must be of interest to every Christian. They are learned, received, heard, seen in me, and obey. Christians must look up to their leaders to learn from them, receive from them, hear/listen to them, see the Word of God in them, and finally obey it. A leader who tells you to "do what I say but don't do what I do" is a bad leader and must be avoided. The best leader to follow as Christians is Jesus Christ of Nazareth: He is the author and finisher of our faith, Hebrews 12:2. Dearly beloved, what do you like about the leadership of Jesus Christ?
