NETTIE-ISM #14- UNBECOMING A LEADER

AVAILABLE @ AMAZON

If Solomon was President today some would say he had to much money and to many women therefore he is a bad leader.

2 Chronicles 1:11-12 (King James Version)

11  And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
12  Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like. 

1 Kings 11:3 (King James Version)

And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. 

Neither the wealth or the women stopped Solomon from being a great leader.

1 Kings 10:23-24 (King James Version)
23  So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
24  And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. 

Unfortunately today, people are easily distracted by the cares of this world (Mark 4:19) and popular opinion.

A leaders' behavior is judged by the one who positioned him in office. Solomon was ordained, appointed, by God and any behavior unbecoming a leader would be judged by God. His, Solomon’s, problem was his wives took his attention away from God.

1 Kings 11:1-2 (King James Version)
1  But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
2  Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. 

As I listen to people comment on President’ Trumps tweets I am amused. The tweets are a distraction for those who are not focused on getting things done.

Solomon had way to many wives, he really did, but he was still considered wise. The women took his attention away from God yet he still ruled as God had intended.

2 Chronicles 9:29-31 (King James Version)
29  Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
30  And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31  And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead. 

There is no such thing as a perfect leader. God appoints imperfect men and women to do a specific task despite their flaws. (I should say our flaws because I am an imperfect leader.) Therefore, when we see a leader write 140 charachters about a circumstance many may not like it but if he is still doing what needs to be done the behavior is between him and God. I DON’T CARE ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TWEETS!

To me what is really UNBECOMING A LEADER is:

• Supporting organizations like PLANNED PARENTHOOD,
• Endorsing same sex unions- ‘marriages’
• Endorsing cross dressing, particularly in children
• Ignoring anti-Christ organizations including Radical Islamic practices such as Sharia Law
• Dishonoring the men and women who protect and serve this country
• Disrespecting the leader of this nation (Hebrews 13:7,1 Timothy 2:1-3)

What is unbecoming a leader is not a tweet on Twitter but the hateful rhetoric I hear coming from men and women of influence and the corresponding actions. xxx written by Marsha L F Randolph
