How To Lead Others

TRINITY CHRISTIAN CENTER CHURCH MISSIVE

Vol. 7:–No: 21(May 29, 2016)

Philippians 4:13-“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

 

DEPTH OF CHARACTER AND PERSONAL INTEGRITY:

Good character derives from our very being. It’s worth more than can be said. Trust is born of solid character. Relationships are built on trust. Those we’ve come to admire withstand the test of time through these traits. They strive for consistent, not perfect, behavior(i.e., keeping one’s word and telling the truth), which is a building block of success.

SELF-AWARE AND SELF-CONTROLLED:

Great leaders are first leaders in their own lives. Those who sustain success do so out of a practiced personal and professional self-discipline. The key word is “practiced”. Aristotle said: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”

Scripture teaches the importance of managing oneself. It’s a “fruit” of the Spirit. Paul, writing to Timothy says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7.

Being self-aware reduces the chances of self-deception, which is the greatest deception of all.

LIFELONG LEARNERS:

Achievers are curious individuals. They pursue knowledge and have an interest in ideas other than their own. Learning, growing, and changing are requisites of leadership. Adapting along the way is essential for personal and professional development.

Effective leaders own their success, manage others as well as themselves, and always act in God’s timing—this latter aspect of leadership, God’s timing, just cannot go wrong. Follow God’s leading and you will never wonder if you made the correct choice.
