BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 99-101
READ: Revelation 2:1-7
1 Unto the angel of the
church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in
his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
2 I know thy works, and
thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil:
and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast
found them liars:
3 And hast borne, and
hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
4 Nevertheless I have
somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
5 Remember therefore
from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will
come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place,
except thou repent.
6 But this thou hast,
that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
7 He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh
will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise
of God.
30 The apostles gathered around Jesus and
reported to him all they had done and taught.

MEMORISE:
“So then every one of us shall give account of
himself to God.” - Romans 14:12
THE MESSAGE:
The Bible reading for
yesterday showed us how Jesus delegated some assignments to His disciples
during His earthly ministry. The Bible reading for today, shows us that Jesus
is still delegating responsibilities even now that He is seated at the right
hand of the Father in Heaven. This time, He is getting the reports of the
Pastors first hand and giving them the report of their performance so that they
can improve in the work that He has given them to do.
Now, you as a leader must
constantly assess those who you delegated duties to and give them a report of
their performance. Tell them where they are doing well and where they need to
improve. Make sure you give them this report in time before they go so far in
doing the wrong thing to the point that all that would be left would be to
suffer the consequences. In the Bible reading for today, Jesus made sure that
He gave the angels of the Churches a report of their performance before the
consequences showed up. Whether they hearkened to His report or not is another
thing, but He gave the report.

As a delegate, when you
don’t pay attention to the reports your superiors give you, you end up
suffering the consequences. My advice for you is that you don’t even wait for
them to give you a report of your performance; go to your superior and ask,
“Sir, how am I performing at the duties you gave me to do?” When the fellow
then tells you your performance, you must make adjustments to ensure that you
do more of what the report says you have been doing well and improve on what it
says you have not been doing well. That way, you can avoid any consequence that
would have come if you did not get a report quickly enough.

Beyond getting a report
on what your delegates are doing, you also need a report from them on how you
are doing too. A leader must not be afraid to get reports from those that he or
she is leading. You cannot see and understand the effect of all your actions
and words, hence you need other people to give you a report on your own
performance once in a while. If Jesus could ask His disciples for feedback on
how people perceived Him (Matthew 16:13-15), you are not too big to ask for
feedback from those you are leading.
ACTION POINT
Ask your superior both in the office and Church
to give you an objective report about your performance so far and also advice
you on how to improve in your duties.
DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
