Making leaders out of losers
We have been together with about 80 leaders during the weekend at Gullbotn. It has been so good to be together with brothers and sisters with the same heart for God and a burning desire to bring people to Christ and the believers to maturity in Christ.

I have been reading in my Message Bible in the prophet Daniel during these days about the judgement on the proud king Nebuchadnezzar. �The angels announce this decree, the holy watchmen bring this sentence, so that everyone living will know that the High God rules human kingdoms. He arranges kingdom affairs however he wishes, and makes leaders out of losers.� I thought it was quite funny that he directed me to read these words while we were together with all the leaders, reminding us that he makes leaders out of losers. We have nothing to boast of, we have been chosen because of our nothingness that He may be able to show His fullness!

We really need to learn that �the High God rules over human kingdoms and that he arranges all kingdom affairs�! When we realise that �it is heaven that runs things�, we will have a sound perspective on what is going on behind the scene of natural explanations. We will then have a humble attitude to life realising our total dependence on the Holy Spirit in all human affairs!
When king Nebuchadnezzar humbled himself and looked to heaven for help, he was given back his mind and was able to bless the High God, thanking and glorifying God, who lives for ever:

�His sovereign rule lasts and lasts,
His kingdom never declines and falls.
Life on this earth doesn�t add up to much,
But God�s heavenly army keeps everything going.
No one can interrupt his work,
No one can call his rule into question.�

�Everything e does is right,
And he does it the right way.
He knows how to turn a proud person
Into a humble man or woman.�
