Being a Leader

Being a leader is never easy. BUT it is being a leader that has made me who I am today! Sometimes I asked myself, why am I a leader? Why did God choose me? 1 Sam 12:22 states that God has chosen us to be leaders – not so that we can boast and has a title BUT it’s solely because He wants His people to be blessed! Meaning it is not because we deserve to be a leader BUT it’s just that we are that channel of blessing to His people!

WOW!! What a great inside! I must say… I’m very honor to know that God uses us, leaders as that channel of blessing for His people BUT!!! That also means we can be the one that blocks out the blessing to those who we lead! Eikeees!!!

See, I told you being a leader is NOT easy! :-) So how are we to be a good leader? 1 Sam 12:23 gave us the answers, as leaders we MUST pray for those who have been place under us and also teach them the right way to God. Sometimes we might not agree to our people’s decision in how they carry out their lives BUT we as leaders need to continue to pray and teach them! That’s the hard part! BUT with the Holy Spirit and God’s grace upon our leadership it is possible and achievable!

Remember leaders, title doesn’t draw people it’s the relationship and the heart for them that draws them! Therefore this Christmas let us leaders pray for ourselves to have a heart for God’s people (this also include the non believers) and learn to love them!
