1 - READ THE WORD
How are you using your power?
"When Jehoram had ascended the throne of his father and was established, he put all his brothers to the sword, and also some of the officials of Israel."
2 Chronicles 21:4

2 - Reflect
"Almost everyone can endure adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." - Abraham Lincoln
Power shows our character
Power manifests our insecurities
Power can corrupt us
Power can be the ruin for someone who has not figured out his ego
Power can lead us to harm our brothers
Power can lead to manipulation and abuse
Power can lead to self-sufficiency and to "eliminate" all counselors.
But the truth is that power is not the problem, but it resides in the heart of man. Power without character is like an explosive in the hands of a child.
When there are things pending in our life, incorrect motivations, wounds, distorted values, etc. The only thing that power does is bring the hidden to the surface.
For this reason we can come to the conclusion that it is not wrong to seek power, leadership, growth, but it is very important that the search for it aims to benefit others and not satisfy our ego. How is your character today? Are you prepared to handle what He has ready for your life? How are we managing what we have today, how do we prepare for tomorrow? All these are questions we have to ask continuously, since we must be ready to receive the great blessings that God has for our lives. It is responsible to control our character at all times. Are you ready?
