Embarking on a journey of spiritual growth involves more than just attending services or reading books; it’s about learning from a visible leader. While the preaching and teaching aspects are readily accessible, there’s a crucial dimension of leadership that requires a closer, intentional observation of a visible leader’s life.
In Philippians 4:9, the term “both” signifies a simultaneous engagement with learning and receiving. It emphasizes the importance of a harmonious integration of these elements. To truly grasp the intricacies of life—be it in marriage, business, ministry, or leadership—one must follow a five-step chain: learn, receive, hear, see, and do.
Quite a few people falter by jumping straight into the “doing” part without completing the preceding steps. Life practices are like a set of jewellery, with each piece complementing the others. Imagine buying a set, and the earrings are missing; it feels incomplete. Similarly, grasping the full spectrum of life principles requires a comprehensive approach, incorporating both practical wisdom and spiritual insight.
By closely observing a visible leader, you not only learn theoretical aspects but also glean practical nuances that books might not capture.
It’s about imbibing the spirit behind what you’re seeking, understanding leadership dynamics, and adopting a comprehensive approach to life’s complexities. Don’t just settle for theoretical knowledge; embrace the holistic set of life practices that your visible leader exemplifies.
PRAYER: Father, show me the visible leader I must observe at every phase of my life in Jesus’ name.
