Give Up Threatening

In this episode of Another Day with Jesus, Apostle Priji reminds you that every believer is called to influence others through godly leadership. Whether at home, work, church, or in any place of responsibility, your leadership should reflect the heart of Jesus, who leads with compassion, patience, and humility rather than fear or control.

Drawing from Ephesians 6:9, the message highlights Paul’s instruction to masters to give up threatening and harsh treatment toward those under their care. Though the context speaks of masters and slaves, the principle applies to anyone entrusted with authority today. You are encouraged to correct, train, and guide others without intimidation, manipulation, or unnecessary pressure, remembering that those you lead are precious in God’s sight.

The devotion also points to David’s treatment of Uriah as an example of how abusing authority deeply grieves the heart of God. As a leader, you are called to examine your conversations, decisions, and attitudes, ensuring they are marked by fairness, generosity, and respect. Since both leaders and followers serve the same Master in heaven, you are reminded that God shows no partiality and will one day ask each person to give an account for how they stewarded the people entrusted to them.
