You Can’t Preach What You Don’t Practice

                                                                               

Greetings to all of my Brothers and Sisters in Christ!!! Happy Tuesday February 18, 2014 !!!There have been cases where some parents have told their children,” to do what I say but not what I do.” If they have not said this out rightly, they have implied it in how they live.  For an example, we tell our children that there is never a need to argue. We say that all disagreements can be handled in a peaceful way which is God’s Will. Shortly afterwards, the children may see the parents fight like cats and dogs. What lesson are we really teaching? It is written that we are to seek peace and pursue it. He has never told us to seek to be right and to prove it. It is unfortunately in many cases that our children see the opposite of what we teach them. It has been proven that children will naturally do what parents do before they do what they say. This is why Jesus Christ is and always will be the greatest of all leaders. Jesus always practiced what he taught without exception which made it easy for his disciples to follow him. Let us do the same as parents. By us doing what we teach, we make it easy for our children to obey. I declare and decree that I will practice what I teach my children. May God Eternally Bless You and Your Family!!! With Love from Me and My Family !!!

You Can’t Preach What You Don’t Practice

There are many leaders, who are failing at being respected,

Their followers are not loyal so their instructions go neglected.

These leaders say one thing but do another,

Their followers don’t listen and refuse to be led by them any further.

In order for good leaders to have people submitted to them that they can reach,

They must be a person of great character who practices what they preach.

To do otherwise, the leader sends a message that they themselves don’t believe,

When leaders do the opposite of what they say, they cannot succeed.

If you want to be truly effective in your leadership, live what you say,

If you are not willing to carry out what you speak, why should others obey?
