Leadership truth from scripture.
"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." —John Maxwell
JESUS TAUGHT HOW TO BE GREAT IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
THOSE WHO PRESENT THEMSELVES AS RULERS ARE RULED BY THEIR DESIRE TO BE SEEN AS RULERS.
THE ONLY WAY TO BE FREE OF THE CLUTCHES OF POWER, IS TO USE POWER FOR THE PROTECTION OF OTHERS, FOR THE PROMOTION OF OTHERS, NOT YOURSELF.
THE “IN” ARE OFTEN IGNORANT, AND THE “OUT” ARE OFTEN NEAREST THE HEART OF GOD.
THE POWERFUL CAN BE GREEDY WHILE THE SACRIFICIAL WILL BE HONORED.
MARY ANOINTS JESUS WITH AN INCREDIBLE GESTURE OF DEVOTION AND JESUS ANOINTS HIS DISCIPLES WITH AN INCREDIBLE GESTURE BY EXAMPLE.
HIS GREATNESS IS IN HIS SERVICE, HIS POWER IN HIS WEAKNESS, HIS GAIN IN HIS LOSS, AND HIS LIFE IN HIS DEATH.
IF YOU WANT TO LEAD LIKE JESUS, IT IS THROUGH SERVICE AND SUFFERING THAT YOU WILL HAVE YOUR GREATEST IMPACT.
TAKEAWAY: THIS WEEK, SERVE SOMEONE IN A WAY THAT PERSON COULD NEVER EXPECT OR DEMAND.
