True Leadership!

A true leader is someone who helps to improve the lives of other people or improves the system they live under! Sam Houston (1793-1863), Soldier, Senator from Texas, Former Governor of Texas and Tennessee, War hero, Instrumental in annexing Texas into the United States during the Mexican-American War, City of Houston Texas named after him, Remember the Alamo!

Trump Leadership! Revelation 13:17

You cannot buy or sell unless you take the mark! Trump foreign policy has taken a play out of the Book of Revelation! Satan has meant it for evil but God made it for good! Trump is punishing the bad actors such as China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, Turkey and others with economic sanctions! Trump is preventing military conflicts with the power of the purse! This prevents bloodshed and the sacrifice of your young people and their families in the conflicts of war! Trump has been able to convince Mexico to help us stop the flow of illegal immigrants across our southern borders with the threat of economic sanctions! Trump is a genius! Why haven’t our previous leaders used these tools? Trump has brought jobs back to America! Lowest unemployment rate in 50 years! Lowest unemployment rates for Asians and African Americans in our history! The American middle class has found a champion for them! First time in a hundred years! I am 70 years old! When I was in high school a lot of my classmates died in the Vietnam war! Do not take Trump for granted for this kind of leadership comes around only once in many generations! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Giving to Ministries

I cannot tell you where to give or how much to give! That is between you and God! Jesus said it is more blessed to give than to receive! I am not soliciting to give to this ministry or any other ministry! I got a call from Joel Osteen Ministries today Sunday. They wanted a $35 dollar donation. I suggested to the caller that he should make a disclaimer to all donors that our tithe first belongs to the local church! He agreed yet I asked him why he did not tell me this? Then I asked him if he worked for Joel Osteen Ministries? He told me he was a private contractor collecting money for the ministry. I told him I thought Joel was a good preacher but does not enter into the cultural warfare breaking down America! I mentioned that Joel lives in a 10.5 million dollar mansion! He owns another house worth 2.9 million and another lot worth 1.9 million! The caller told me we cannot judge him! I told the caller I am not judging anyone but these are just facts about Joel’s lifestyle! His lifestyle does not fit the Jesus I know in my Bible? I told the caller I appreciate him giving up his 200 thousand annual dollar salary back in 2007 from the church. However his net worth is 40 million dollars! He sells his books but most of the money is gained by Christian’s buying his books! This is money from believer’s in the Church! Could this money have been more productive by church member’s investing in their local church? Also the 501c tax exemption allows the escape of tax money to the treasury department and that short fall has to be made up by the American tax payer! The caller told me I need to move on! Here is the point I am trying to make! Jesus said to render unto God what is His and to Caesar what is his! The tithe is automatic going to your local church! The offering is optional! To give to any ministry I need to see sacrifice from the leadership! If God speaks to you to give to Joel Osteen Ministries do it! Joel’s father is the one who really sacrificed to build the foundation for Joel! The same can be said of Franklin Graham. He gets 880 thousand dollars per year annual salary! Billy Graham’s net worth is 25 million dollars! I have to see examples of sacrifice for me to invest in any ministry! We need to put our money where our mouth is! These ministries do great things but the love of money is still the root of all evil! I would suggest that all ministries tithe their incomes to other ministries and support for the poor, widow’s and orphans! My prayer is those who read this will get a conviction in their heart’s including myself to be wise with our resources and invest into those who mirror Jesus Christ the most! Will 35 dollars break me? No! I wanted to make a point to our caller! God Bless your ministry! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Leadership and Submission!

I think of Pope Gregory the Great. He wanted the cloister. He wanted to pray and study and yet he was thrust into an administrative job and he submitted and by doing so became a great leader! You could say the only person safe to lead is the person who is free to submit! Richard Foster Comment: The most dangerous leader is the one who claims to submit to Heavenly authority but will not submit to earthly authority! If Jesus would not have submitted to earthly authority he would not have gone to the Cross! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Moses Gets Rocked! Numbers Chapter 20

One of the greatest Patriarchs gets into trouble with God along with his brother Aron the Priest! On their journey from Egypt they get in a rough place in the desert of Zin. A dry desert with no water! How would you like two million people at your customer service counter complaining they have no water? They complained to Moses and told him it would have been better if he would have left them in Egypt! Moses goes to God and He tells Moses to take his rod along and speak to the rock! The rod represents his authority! God did not tell Moses to use the rod but simply speak to the rock! So Moses instead of speaking to the rock hits the rock twice with his rod! He got the same results as speaking to the rock as water gushed out of the rock but was in disobedience to God! Moses name means to be drawn out of the water. However in this case the water got him in trouble! It was the same water that saved him on the Nile River but this time not in obedience! Moses was saved by the water as a baby by the obedience of another! We are saved by the obedience of another Christ on the Cross! Moses and Aron got punished and did not enter the Promised Land! Leadership is not easy! The rewards are great and so are the risks! God may have or is performing Miracles through you but remember He can use anyone or anything! To steal God’s Glory has consequences! We must not be presumptuous in regards to God’s character! We do not live in fear of God but recognize His ways are always higher than our ways! Moses today is most likely one of the 24 elders seated before the Throne of God in Worship! If we sin and make a mistake repent quickly and give the outcome to Christ for the rest of your eternity! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Great Leadership!

It is characteristic excellence of the strong man that he bring momentous issues to the fore and make a decision about them! The weak are always forced to decide between alternatives they have not chosen themselves! Dietrich Bonhoeffer Comment; What was the alternative to the Cross? Failure! What is the alternative to work? Welfare. Every leader is following someone! There are two types of leaders. One will lead you to Heaven and one will lead you to Hell! Your outcome in life and eternity will be determined by who you follow! Hell is a poor alternative! The bum going through the trash dumpster is living on alternatives! God is love and Satan is fear! What method does your leader use? Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
