This is love for God: to obey His commands.”
….l John 5:3
As a leader we are responsible to show the way to an intimate and life transforming relationship with the Lord. It is said in the world of leadership that the people cannot grow beyond their leader. It is imperative for Women in leadership to spend quality and quantity time with the Lord.
Keeping a journal for prayer is helpful. Write down your thoughts and praise Him in your prayer time for being that to you. Seek His guidance to help you become like Him. If God hasn’t shown you that characteristic, ask for it to be revealed. Write down that request in your journal and pray for knowledge of Him. Listen for His response: God speaks through His word and to your heart when you are still before Him.
It is possible to know all the facts about God without really knowing Him intimately. Knowing God is a deliberate choice we must make and requires asking God to live in us. He is alive and He is relevant in every area of your life. It is important to comply with the verses we are reading, because we begin to recognize God’s voice when we act upon His Word. Obedience leads to a deeper relationship.

Our small group is finishing up the study "Discerning the Voice of God," by Priscilla Shirer. It really speaks to this connection between obedience and hearing Him. I HIGHLY recommend this study, especially if you are leading a small group.
Rejoice in THE LORD...again I say, Rejoice!
Dear Motivated by Love,
Thank you for the suggestion of this Shirer study. The discipline of Bible Study is key to the relationship with the Lord and we learn the ways of obedience from study.
Blessings
