On Monday evening, the leaders of Rehoboth House of Prayer came together for , a time dedicated to deepening our spiritual leadership and strengthening our bonds through prayer and Bible study. Following a question from our sister Stephanie, we took some time to reflect on Matthew 5, where Jesus gives a directive on leadership while addressing the multitude He observed.
Every Sunday, much like Jesus, we gaze upon the multitude that God has entrusted to us, allowing us the privilege of signing His Name upon them. As leaders, we are called to be the salt of the earth for a community who will be "happy or fortunate—those who are fully satisfied or well-off," a sentiment captured by the Greek word "makarios." These individuals, who are "poor in spirit," are blessed, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them. In His dialogue with His followers, Jesus continued to identify those who are blessed, emphasizing God’s attributes—such as mercy, comfort, and abundant goodness—because they have direct access to these divine qualities simply by being present. (Matthew 5:1-17, Exodus 34:6 & 7)
