BECOMING A REAL LEADER

BECOMING A REAL LEADER

Adesina Abegunde

James 1:25 (MSG)
But whoever catches a glimpse of the revealed counsel of God—the free life!—even out of the corner of his eye, and sticks with it, is no distracted scatterbrain but a man or woman of action. That person will find delight and affirmation in the action.

Beloved, happy new week. It is a great joy to know that God has spared you to see the last week in the month of September.

I hope you have made lots of progress in this month? I hope you are no longer where you were at the beginning of this month? It is well with you in Jesus name.

I have been sharing about the characteristics of real leaders and real leadership for five weeks now, I hope you have taken time to meditate and apply those lessons? This post is actually to help you do that more.

Readers are not automatically leaders, only DOING READERS ARE LEADERS. Application is the mother of manifestation. God blesses the doer, not the reader, so today’s post is an attempt to help you apply the last five posts. I have tried to raise the following questions just to stir your mind to thinking and your hands to action from the things that we have learnt from Hebrews 11: 24-28. Remember that real leaders ask questions and seek answers.

       1.      (vs24) Add Values and Not Titles.

·         What can I do for people or my employer that money can’t buy?

       2.      (vs25) Choose Purpose above Pleasures.

·         How can I spend my money in a way that will reflect purpose and not mere pleasure?

       3.      (vs26) Ask Questions and Seek Answers.

·         What am I looking ahead to? What am I anticipating?

·         What cause am I leaving for?

·         What problem am I actively looking for solution to?

       4.      (vs27) Live with a Focus.

·         Can I say in one statement what I am living for?

·         Can people around me say without missing words what I am living for?

       5.      (vs28) Champion a Risk.

·         What can I die for?

·         What cause am I ardently committed to?

Try to get answers to the above questions, if possible revise the previous posts and then turn your answers into action point.

Theodore Roosevelt, a former president of the United States said, “There has not yet been a person in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.”

Will you do like Moses and shun the throne for the truth, choose purpose above pleasure, question what is and seek what can be, live a life of purposeful focus and take risk to “live simply so others can simply live”?

May the Lord bless you and keep you in Jesus name.

You shall not live a wasted life in Jesus name.

Happy Independent Day in advance. Have a fruitful week.
