In the blog Follow the Leader, I asked you these three questions:
Do you believe you are a leader?
Do you think there are specific qualifications
one needs in order to be a good leader?
If so, what do you think those are?
In my last blog, And the walls came tumbling doooown!, you followed me through the Bible to discover that you only need one qualification to be a good leader:
The presence of God with you always.
If you know the Jesus Christ personally,
and follow Him as Lord of your life, I have good news for you:
THE LORD IS WITH YOU!!
Jesus’ last words to the disciples in Matthew 28:20 say,
“…and be sure of this: I am with you always,
even to the end of the age.”
Now, only one questions remains:
do you believe you are a leader?
As I shared with you in the first blog, I did NOT believe I was a leader. However, after 3 months of leading, and reading through all the varieties of leaders in the Bible,
my opinion of leadership has changed.
I now believe ALL people are called to lead
and influence others in some way!
Yes, that includes YOU.
What kind of leader is God calling you to be?
Maybe He’s calling you to be a leader in your home, or at work, or in your church. Maybe He’s calling you to lead your peers, or your city, or even your country.
Pray about it.
God has a purpose for your life,
and I guarentee it will include leading and influencing others in some way.
For me, I know God used the last three months to teach me that I am a leader. Now that I know this, God – in His ironic way – has paved the way for me to step down from the title of leadership and allow another teammate the opportunity to step up as our team leader!
This doesn’t mean I’m not a leader anymore.
In fact, there are 6 leaders on my team!
Though Nikki now has the title TEAM LEADER, all 6 of us are equipped by God to lead in specific ways! We each have different strengths and weaknesses, and I know God will use those to encourage, challenge, and grow us into the women He’s calling us to be!
