Leadership is both a wonderful privilege and a serious responsibility. Whatever level or area of leadership we find ourselves in today, the people we lead need us to be great leaders. We become that by prioritizing the ongoing process of developing ourselves.
John Maxwell succinctly states, “True leadership always begins with the inner person.” In other words, who we are on the inside shapes how we act on the outside. This is especially true during times of uncertainty and pressure.
As leaders, we must recognize that God desires for us to experience a victorious life. He doesn’t want us to live stressed or depleted. He delights in empowering us with His strength and vitality so we can lead well.
“…I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].”
Jesus Christ (John 10:10 AMP)
This victorious life begins when we acknowledge Jesus as our Lord and submit the lordship of our lives into His hands. He fills us with His Holy Spirit. Through the Holy Scriptures, He guides us to walk in His ways. He helps us grow into His image and bear fruit in our personal and professional spheres. Moreover, He uses us to be a blessing to our families, workplaces, and communities.
