The future's bright; the future is you
'...If God has given you leadership ability...' Romans 12:8
Skip through your Mum's iPod tracks and it won't be long before you come across an 80's cheese-tastic tearjerker with the opening line, 'I believe the children are the future ...' Now before you sue your mum for polluting your airwaves, just sit on that thought a minute; you are the future. God has an amazing future mapped out for you (Jeremiah 29:11).
You could be this country's future prime minister. You could be the future's most-sung songwriter. You could be the future's Nobel peace prize winner. You are called to excel and lead for a better future.
Check these famous God-chasers out for your inspiration in how to lead and excel:
1) Moses. The Bible says that God spoke to Moses 'as a man speaks with his friend'. If you want to lead big-time, you need to talk with your friend God. Prayer makes famous leaders.
2) David (AKA a man 'after God's own heart'). David messed up in king-size ways on three occasions, but his heartbeat was to worship, repent and obey. God's heartbeat makes famous leaders.
3) Daniel. This awesome guy left even the angels awestruck, as they'd greet him as one who was 'highly esteemed'. It was Daniel's strong character that wouldn't bottle it in the face of hungry lions. Strong character makes famous leaders.
So start improving on your 1-2-1's with God; get in tick with his heartbeat; fine-tune your character. The future's yours - let God shape it.
