From Bishop, Dr. Charles A. Johnson’s C.O.D.E. (Cup of Daily Enlightenment) message “The Drawing Room” (Part 3) comes a life-shaping reminder:

“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30 (KJV)
“With lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” Jeremiah 31:3b (KJV)

Before we can lead others, we must first lead ourselves.

#1stLeadYourself means:

• Lead yourself in your attitude,
• Lead yourself in your responsibility
• Lead yourself in accountability to every gift God has given you.
• Lead yourself in prayer, devotion, and in a Kingdom mindset.

This tee is a call to action. It reminds us that God uses us to draw others through love and service, but only when we first lead ourselves in Him.
