Most of us confuse character with reputation. Reputation is what you are in public. Character is what you are in private. Reputation is what others think about you. Character is what you know about you. Your character is what you do when no one is watching.
Your character is what you do in secret. Your character is what you do thinking no one will ever find out. that’s the real you. the other one is the fake you. Never trust your reputation and dont trust other people’s reputation. We have made reputation more important than character. We don’t need leaders with great reputation but leaders who have great responsible attitude who will not violate their own personal values. reputation is never more important than responsibility. We don’t need leaders with a good position but good disposition. ... of course you already know there is no such thing as corrupt politics. or a corrupt government. it doesn’t exist. Organizations are never corrupt. it’s the people that get in them.
the politician determines what the country will look like. Well... thats just because the personal values of the politician becomes public policy. This is why most countries need to be very careful because we think that the president is our problem. The president is never our problem. The president is always temporary. The most dangerous people in our governments are the people we cannot fire. The ones you can’t vote out because you didn’t vote them in. they are called supreme. The most dangerous people in your country are the ones who create Law. Because law produces values. They become the character of the country. They tell us what’s acceptable and not acceptable.
That’s why they are called supreme. Do you know the word supreme is only used in reference to God? Which means that your country has gods. So don’t worry about your presidents too much. i Hear most people say “the president the president”. ... Presidents go and come!. it’s the guys you can’t move. i’m not saying that your presidents shouldn’t be checked but i think sometimes we put too much emphasis on the wrong thing. There has got to be a way to remove them if they do not live in sync with our values as a country. #LEADERSHiP.
Repentance As Defined In The Bible Is Not An Emotion, It Is A Decision
So D. Prince in london once said it’s very important that we understand what repentance is. Repentance is not an emotion. i have seen many times preachers will seek to work people up into an emotional attitude and then call them to faith in Christ. And very very often that leads to a let down because the emotion runs out and they are left with nothing. So bear in mind repentance as defined in the Bible is not an emotion, it is a decision. it doesn’t spring from the emotions, it springs from the WILL. if we can reach peoples will and turn their will, we will see permanent conversions. Many of the so called conversions in the church today are impermanent because they have never really changed the will of the person. They had an emotional experience they got excited, maybe they felt wonderful for a few weeks or months maybe years but in the end they don’t have what it takes to Go through because their will is not being touched. #LEADERSHiP
