Conexiones divinas y liderazgo con propósito en acción

 A few years ago, I walked into a room full of laughter, chatter, and energy. It was a gathering of professionals—leaders, influencers, creatives, and thinkers. But as I settled in, I felt something. No one had said a word to me, but something in the air tugged at my spirit. Tension was thick though it wore the disguise of smiles and social pleasantries. By the end of the event, I was emotionally drained, not because of what was said—but because of what was present. That moment became a turning point. I learned to trust what I sensed before I saw and to guard my peace like it was gold. Because it is. 

The Power of Discernment in Leadership 

As you grow in purpose, it becomes clear: not everyone assigned to your path is aligned with your purpose. Some are divinely sent to walk beside you, pulling you forward in faith and vision. Others are sent only for a season, a lesson, or even a warning. 

There is wisdom in evaluating who surrounds you—not from a place of pride, but from a place of protection. Leaders must recognize the difference between those who contribute to your calling and those who consume your energy. 

“Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character.’” – 1 Corinthians 15:33 (NIV) 

You have permission to: 

Peace is not passive—it is powerful. It is the atmosphere in which divine purpose flourishes. Guard it. 

Your Inner Circle Shapes Your Outer Impact 

The people closest to you affect how far and how fast you can go. Energy is contagious—so is discouragement. That’s why it’s crucial to prize people of purpose who uplift, sharpen, and encourage you. 

Everyone doesn’t belong in your inner circle. Crowds don’t validate your calling—God does. You’re not standoffish; you’re strategic. You’re not antisocial; you’re anointed and protective of the assignment God has placed on your life. 

“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs.” – Matthew 7:6 (NIV) 

Some people are drawn to your presence but are repelled by your power. They admire your grace but resent your growth. That’s why discernment is vital—don’t confuse access with alignment. 

Honor the Real, Exit the Drama 

It’s okay to “walk it alone” when Holy Spirit walks with you. You are not lonely—you are led. There will be moments where solitude brings clarity and small talk becomes noise. 

Betrayals from the past may tempt you to isolate or distrust, but let wisdom—not fear—be your guide. Holy Spirit is your compass. Listen closely. If you sense a shift, ask: 

If it is not your burden, you don’t have to carry it. If it’s not your battle, you don’t have to fight it. If it’s not your concern, graciously bow out.

Closing Prayer 

Father God, 

Thank You for the gift of discernment. Help me walk in wisdom, guarding my peace and protecting the purpose You’ve placed in my life. Teach me to recognize divine connections and release what no longer aligns with my destiny. Holy Spirit, lead me with clarity. Remove every false narrative and every energy-draining distraction. I thank You for real friends, authentic support, and sacred peace. Let me be a wise master builder, constructing my life and legacy with purpose, discretion, and grace. 

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
