DAY 7 OF 7

In accountability is your protection

Accountability simply means to hold yourself responsible to someone, especially in the areas where you struggle. Accountability is important because it removes the element of isolation from our Christian walk. Of course, our primary accountability is to God, but being accountable to someone can help us stand firm in areas where we can fall.

In our generation, accountability and submission are looked down upon or rarely understood. Hebrews 13:17 says accountability will be of advantage to you (not your authority). 

We have seen so many young girls who have great zeal and passion for God’s kingdom, yet they are not accountable to someone, which is dangerous. Many of them lose track and fall, especially in the area of relationships, taking them completely off course from their calling. And, they end up hurting themselves and blaming God. You see, you can have a revelation of a specific area but lack in other areas, and that’s why you have God-ordained leaders who can guide you. 

Self-sufficiency says I don’t need anyone, but humility shouts for help from those God have placed in our lives. Through years of wisdom and walking with the Lord, your accountability partners can see warning signs that you may tend to miss. It is wise to learn and seek their advice rather than waste your time learning from hard knocks, pain, and years of struggle.

So ask God to show you someone, who you can trust, who can correct you, and who will encourage you to run after the heart of God and submit to the authority of this person. (Mind you, submission doesn’t mean control or manipulation). Remember, when they give you advice or tell you the truth, it’s never to hurt you but protect you. This trust gets built over a period of time, but it’s worth the investment. 

Also, submit to the same-sex leaders and not the opposite sex. We have seen many fall in this area. 

You can even be a part of the accountability circle of God-fearing friends. Have a godly standard for your friendships based on unconditional love and mutual trust. Of course, no friendship is perfect but stay close to those who are on fire for Jesus and make you love Jesus more.
