TAKING
RESPONSIBILITY
Responsibility is a trait for all leaders. We are
all leaders, whether we rule over a nation or not. Our GOD himself is a
responsible GOD, and expects his children to also be responsible. GOD develops
interest in responsible people; because he is responsible. Responsibility is
the state of being responsible and accountable. It is a duty, obligation or
liability for which someone is held accountable. Every one created by GOD has
purpose and reason for creation. We shall give account to GOD, based on our purpose.
That is where responsibility comes in; he GOD has assigned a task and
obligation into our hands that we must ensure we succeed doing it. Many are not
showing responsibility toward this task. GOD delights in a responsible man,
Joseph was a responsible man; no wonder GOD’s presence never left him.
Responsible men take responsibility. Responsible men are always filled with
GOD’s presence. Responsible men are men of authority. Responsible men rise up
to the challenges ahead of them. Responsible men are solution to the world and
generations unborn. Responsible men fears GOD. The bible says, Potiphar gave
Joseph the complete administrative responsibility over everything he owned;
because he noticed he was a responsible man. An irresponsible man would have
slept with Potiphar’s wife. Joseph took responsibility for theses and ended up
in the prison. Responsibility distinguishes a man, anywhere and anytime. The
bible says in fact, the jailer soon handed over the entire prison
administration to Joseph, so that all other prisoners were responsible to him.
Taking responsibility! Are you responsible?
The bible says in 1Peter 2 vs. 9: But you are a chosen generation, a
royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth
the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
These are the promises of GOD for a responsible man. We have to take
responsibility over our family. Not all husbands are responsible and not all
wives are. Husbands be responsible and wives be responsible. Taking
responsibilities over your family implies you and your household will always
serve GOD. We need to take responsibility over our nation and nations of the
world. The Psalmist says pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that
love you. Our Jerusalem is our country. We need to stand for our country in
prayers. You need to pray for your leaders, whether they are governing well or
not. You need to take responsibility by praying for them, rather than complain.
Many do blame leaders in their country, it won’t solve the problems; rather
take responsibility by praying. We need to pray for other nations too; not
until you are in such nation. Pray for all nations, taking responsibility. If
we begin to take responsibility over our families and nations in prayer and
intercession, we will begin to see changes. Also we need to take responsibility
on our dreams and aspirations. You can’t just relax and think your dreams will
come to pass like that. Take responsibility by doing the right things to
achieve them. It is well with us….
