The Spirit- taught leader knows how to access the depths of God.
One of the great blessings that comes to those who have the influence of the Spirit and have been formed by Him is their access to the depths of God.
There is always a demand in every generation for those who knows how to access the depths of God. They are great assets of the wonders of God.
In every generation, the more of God's depths that can be accessed, the more of His wonders and glory will be revealed.
That's the reason a spiritual leader must be Spirit-taught. It is the only way to gaining access into the depths of God.
Leaders must open the way for others to access the depths of God in everything. In fact, the beauty of spiritual leadership that touches the Heart of God is this joy of bringing people we lead into constant depth that is in God.
Jesus as a Spiritual Leader demonstrated this when He came to the earth in the flesh. He constantly led people into the depths of God.
Before His arrival, only selected individual that God called and raised got into the depths of God. Others were pleased to know Him afar off.
But the desire of God is that everyone will know Him personally and intimately.
And I see the necessity to sound this loud and clear again in the present day Church that God wants everyone to know Him.
We need to make this the most important demand upon our lives as leaders, that God wants everyone to know Him. He wants everyone to come into His depths.
The present day operation of the Church where most believers have accepted that they cannot know the Lord as much as their leaders know the Lord is not of Christ.
When you consider the heartfelt prayer of Jesus in John 17:3, "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus ChristWhom You have sent."
As you can see here. Eternal life is not a journey to Heaven. It is to know GOD, the only true GOD and Jesus Christ whom GOD sent.
The most important word here is to know God and to know Jesus Christ. This is eternal life. We must understand here that eternal life is not what we wait to have some day after death.
It is what has been made available for those who will know God personally and also His Son Jesus Christ.
So, the depths of God is going deeper into knowing God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
That's the assignment the Holy Spirit has been given to carry out in our lives. We cannot really know God and His Son without the help of the Holy Spirit.
We will move on from here in the next devotion.
