Gifts: We Are Most Effective When We Lead from Our Gifts
Our leadership will always be most natural, most effective, and most influential when we lead from our gifts and strengths. Then it won’t be forced, feel awkward, seem artificial, or copy someone else. Effective leadership occurs when we lead from our own identity. Paul believed Timothy’s leadership would grow strong when he remembered three truths:
- His secure heritage (v. 5). Paul reminded Timothy of the spiritual foundation his family gave him.
- His spiritual gift (v. 6). Paul reminded Timothy to stir up the gifts inside him and lead from those gifts.
- His solid conviction (v. 7). Paul reminded Timothy that God didn’t give him fear, but the tools to do the job.
