Practice What You Preach

What is your attitude like at home? And be honest with yourself…

When we hear “lord”, our mindsets automatically go to religion. A lord is defined as:

one having power and authority over others“.

But then again, the same people teaching religion, also hold a significant influence on your lordship at home, work or even in these streets. And there are a lot of fake individuals (seeking control by power) in the religious world. They preach to hate and/or love, monogamy (but have side pieces), equality (will ask their congregation to take care of them, but when the congregation needs help, they send them to pray) or just being God fearing, when they obviously don’t respect His word.

To have any type of authority or power over anyone, you have to be in control. Genuine control is earned from “leading by example” and is respected more. No one wants to follow someone that won’t get dirty with them, nor practices what they preach. Power is forced control, “by any means necessary”, hypocrisies, lies, manipulation, etc. And is usually followed by hostility and/or conflict, with unnecessary casualties (which means others have taken sides or been hurt in the process).

You can’t be an influential lord of your household by POWER. Power doesn’t show love. It may show respect, but it’s that love and respect that keeps lives moving in the right directions.

Always stand firm with your beliefs! Don’t fold! Show people you practice what you preach (ensure your words match your actions as much as you possibly can).
