Kingdom Man

As a man, you are the leader. Whether you want to be or not. If you are a man, like it or not, you are a leader by position. It could be that you are a horrible one by practice, but by position you have been called to lead. That is what the Adamic-calling entails. God created Adam before Eve because he was to be responsible to both rule and lead. Adam was given his calling to cultivate and guard the garden before Eve was even created. And, as a result, it was Adam whom God sought out when both Adam and Eve had disobeyed him. 

This is because Adam was ultimately responsible. As a man, you are ultimately responsible for those within your domain. How you lead will play a large part on either the blessing or demise experienced by those within the realm you lead. You can either lead those under your care to a place of flourishing, or you can drive those under your care to a place of chaos. It’s your call on how your realm plays out. 

But to lead well is not a call that you make one day and then forget about. Ruling well is a lifelong skill forged in the fires of faithfulness and dedication. You don’t lead well simply because you think it’s an awesome thing to do. In order to be the kingdom man you have been designed to be, you have to show up day in and day out - year in and year out – decade in and decade out, intentionally and consistently applying yourself in leading your realm well.

Your commitment to meet the expectations of those you lead ought to inspire those entrusted to your care to live at an even greater level of dedication in fulfilling that which the King of the Universe has called them to do. Always remember that many tomorrows will be determined by how well you lead today.
