5. Am I Going Where He Wants Me To Go?
In Matthew 10:5-6 Jesus clearly gave the disciples specific instructions as to where to go and where not to go.
The question we must wrestle with as a leader is “Am I in a place that God has called me to go?” Are you looking for the easy road or the right road? One of the biggest myths we can believe in life is that if we are doing what God wants us to do then we will never experience any opposition or hardship. Going where Jesus commands us to go doesn’t mean the road will be smooth…but it does mean the road will be right!
One of the unfortunate realities is that many leaders will not go where God is calling them to go because it might mean sacrifice, pay-cut, or even a demotion. And…in the world that we live in, if something is not seen in the eyes of men as an advance then for some reason we don’t think it’s from God. The reality is this, God wants us somewhere and we must place ourselves before Him daily, get in the place that He wants us to be in, get in the position that He has designed us for and allow Him to accomplish more through us than we could have ever imagined.
