The Transformational Leader

A millennial Kingdom leader is a servant leader who God uses to transform the lives of others. 

To be transformational in someone's life simply means to provide a solution and illustrate a difference. If your follower is struggling financially - you shouldn't boast on your possessions or ridicule their financial misinformation. Instead, you teach them how to budget and provide best practices for saving, then eventually investing.

As a leader you have to see beyond how the world perceives people and look at their heart and their potential. Besides Jesus, David is my favorite study on leadership. There is so much to discuss when studying David's life, but today let's focus on the power of developing and the ability to mold, through Godly influence, the people the world has counted out. God is counting on you to learn how to look at the heart (potential) and not the outward appearance. 

First remember, David's father tried to hide him from Prophet Samuel, and the Prophet also attempted to anoint David's brothers for leadership, but God had other plans. So now fast forward, David escapes to the cave of Adullam (which means refuge). There David is alone with God working on himself, encouraging himself in the Word and through song (Psalms 57 & 142) - repairing the breaches in his character, healing his own heart, and becoming his destiny. Then God called a group of people to David's refuge whom David was to train, develop, and build (just as God was building David). The Bible says these people were in distress, in debt, and discontented (meaning bitter and ready for a new beginning). Can you identify people in your life that sound like the people who found David in the cave?

David took these men and changed the way they saw themselves. These 400 men became warriors and leaders in their own right. Today God is calling you to awaken the leader within and transform the lives of those around you.
