Faithfulness

I was having my QT from 2 Chronicles this morning and God spoke to me about God-centered leadership.

Ahaz
Ahaz, a 20 year-old king who "did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord" and he was being defeated and handed over to the king of Aram, his people being held captive. " In his time of trouble King Ahaz became even more unfaithful to the Lord." He made sacrifices to the other gods and it provoked the Lord and marked his downfall.

Hezekiah
Hezekiah, his son, was 25 year-old when he took over as king. "He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord." He made a covenant with God so that His anger may turned away. Offering sacrifices to atone for the sins and worshipping the Lord, he dedicated the people to God. "This is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah, doing what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God. In everything that he undertook in the service of God's temple and in obedience to the law and the commands, he sought his God and worked wholeheartedly.And so he prospered"

Faithfulness and seeking God's righteousness is the key to God-centred leadership.
