“But they that will be rich fall into
temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown
men in destruction and perdition. (I Timothy 6:9 KJV)
Accountability is a necessity in every
ministry where ever you may be in your service to the Lord. One of the biggest
factors of many divisions in churches, conflict in the ministry or
organizations, or divorce in many homes is accountability. I define
accountability as “account- ability”. It is a two way accounting with an
ability to be responsible to any duty, and moral responsibility.
If they both have accountability,
Abraham and Lot could have known what was going on from down – up. That’s one
of the problems of many churches or leaders who have so much power and
prosperity, where the leaders could just do anything, and say anything and
people will follow. No wonder we have good and great leaders who fell into sin.
Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there
is safety. (Proverbs 11:14 KJV) We have money issues, and
sex issues that caused the churches and the ministries to fall. It could never
be a one way pipeline. Every leader must be open for accountability. Less talk,
more ears, less mistakes or failures, less sin. He that refuseth instruction
despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. (Proverbs
15:32 KJV) The wisest man in the world said; “He that trusteth in his own heart
is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.” (Proverbs 28:26
KJV)
