Difference Makers Devotional PlanExemple

A Difference Maker understands that it's just as important to know how to follow as it is to lead. Being a leader is more than standing on a stage and sharing a message to a room filled with people. You don’t have to lead worship or even stand in a spotlight. You don’t have to go to seminary or train to know all the right answers. All you have to do is follow Jesus. 

The disciples weren’t gifted leaders. In fact, they were dropouts. By the world’s standards, they didn’t have what it took. Yet God used them, 12 non-spectacular people, to change the world. Why? Jesus could have called the elite, the skilled, the highly desirable. He didn’t. Following Jesus is not for some elite few. Leaders in His Kingdom don’t have to be the most talented or special people in this world. They just have to know and follow Him. 

Jesus turned ordinary men into world-changers. If Jesus could use them, we can’t rightly say He can’t use us. We all have people in our lives who follow our example—our kids, our friends, our co-workers. We all have areas of influence, which means we all have opportunities to lead people to Jesus and to lead people to grow in their relationship with Him.
