 I'd like to pause a moment to reflect on part of President Trump's inauguration speech given January 20th, 2017, because some things are worth remembering.  I believe he represented a new breed of leadership,  of a kind sorely needed in our nation's churches. Listen, and I quote - 


"TODAY WE ARE NOT MERELY TRANSFERRING POWER FROM ONE ADMINISTRATION TO ANOTHER, OR FROM ONE PARTY TO ANOTHER, BUT WE ARE TRANSFERRING POWER FROM WASHINGTON D.C. AND GIVING IT BACK TO YOU THE PEOPLE.  FOR TOO LONG, A SMALL GROUP IN OUR NATION'S  CAPITAL HAS REAPED THE REWARDS OF GOVERNMENT WHILE THE PEOPLE HAVE BORNE THE COST. THEIR VICTORIES HAVE NOT BEEN YOUR VICTORIES; THEIR TRIUMPHS HAVE NOT BEEN YOUR TRIUMPHS; AND WHILE THEY CELEBRATED IN OUR NATION'S CAPITAL, THERE WAS LITTLE TO CELEBRATE FOR STRUGGLING FAMILIES ALL ACROSS OUR LAND. THAT ALL CHANGES STARTING RIGHT HERE, AND RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE THIS MOMENT IS YOUR MOMENT -  IT BELONGS TO YOU! IT BELONGS TO EVERYONE GATHERED HERE TODAY AND EVERYONE WATCHING ALL ACROSS AMERICA.  THISVIS YOUR DAY. THIS IS YOUR CELEBRATION.  AND THIS, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,  IS YOUR COUNTRY. "


Hallelujah! I thank God for President Trump, spearheading a move of God, to raise up a new breed of leadership who are true servants of the people -  not lording it over them! I thank God for leadership that doesn't let position,  power, titles or authority go to their heads, that are not self-serving at all -  who will lay down their very lives on behalf of others.

Just remember you misfits, you outcasts, you shunned and rejected ones -  when YOU become the "in" crowd", do not turn around and treat people the way you used to be treated.  

Also, remember  -  "Consecration before Continuation"
