Daily Devotional - Discipleship - WK42 - 10/16/24 - Day 269 "Accountability is Necessary"
Author: Sis. Joy Greer

“Accountability in Necessary”
Scripture: Luke 12:48
“But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.”
Devotion:
In the words of French author Voltaire and Spider-man’s Uncle Ben, “with great power comes great responsibility”. I say this is so true. Our scripture today says that to whom is given much, much is required. God wants us to be accountable. Whether it’s in our giving, our time, or in our talents, God wants us to be accountable.
Accountability is necessary in leadership. The world today wants it to seem as if leaders are at a different level and that is partially true. If you are a leader, you are at a different level; however, you are to be accountable to a higher standard. People look to leaders as examples as they should. The problem is that the leaders are not always doing the right things. Some people profess to be leaders based upon their title, but they don’t do anything near the level they profess to have. The focus on titles, status and so many other things has nothing to do with true leadership. Leadership often knows no title; it only knows action.
Everyone has the potential to be a leader. It doesn’t require a specific pedigree or financial status; it only requires a willing heart for service. Today, let’s examine ourselves. Are we just taking up space or are we being fully accountable? Remember, Saints, accountability is to God, not man!
Prayer:
Father God, we thank You for giving us the best example to follow in Jesus. Help us to be accountable, knowing that if we don’t, we have to answer to You! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
