Read : Luke 8:22-25
“…Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified…discouraged, for …God will be with you…” – Joshua 1:9 New International Version
Jesus was called upon when there was a problem. It was raining and everyone was drowning. When Jesus was called, He took charge.
I remember my first night alone as the doctor-in-charge of the KorleBu Hospital emergency room. It was a frightening experience for me. I was a new doctor and I was expected to lead the way and to know what to do in each case. Throughout the night, people were brought in unconscious, sick and some even dead. But I rose to the occasion and became the leader in the emergency room. How did I do it? I just did what I thought was right from the training that I had received. As time went by it became easier. When Saul became a new leader, Samuel gave him this very instruction, “Do what you think is right and the Lord will be with you.” And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee. 1 Samuel 10:7
What is the key to taking charge as a leader? The key to taking charge is to simply take charge. Just rise up and speak confidently! Do what you think is best and God will be with you.
