Focus: The heart of a Good Shepherd

WORD FOR TODAY
The heart of a good shepherd is the heart of Christ who died and laid His life for sins of all mankind. A man will not but fail as a shepherd (Father, Mother, Husband, Wife, Pastor, Teacher or Leader in any capacity) if he does not have a sacrifical heart like that of Christ!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them." (John 10:11NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every man will come to a point where the going in life will be deadly and challenging. At that point, you will need people who have the heart of a good shepherd to stand by you to help you out of your predicament. Similarly, in your relationship with men; you will come in contact with people with pressing challenges that can scare people away, when this happens, it is not a time to run but a time to stand by and help such people.

You can only be rest assured of safety, blessing and prosperity in all categories of relationships if you are under a good shepherd. The likes of David, Ruth, Moses, Nehemiah, Joseph etc were people who lived a worthy life of a good shepherd.

By the virtue of the sacrificial life they lived some of their attributes include:

�They are builders and not destroyers.
�They lived a life of sacrifice.
�They stood to help in trying times.
�They are compassionate and good custodians.
�They are blessings and friends indeed.
�They don't see men as ladders they need to rise further in life but make themselves ladders that pull men up.

Despite the fact that they lived sacrificially the glory of the Lord was revealed in their lives. The essence of the word of the Lord coming to you is to prepare you and make your heart like that of a good shepherd.
