LEADERSHIP

LEADERSHIP  
             
“God took David out from following mother-ewes; He brought him to feed Jacob His people, and Israel His inheritance. So he fed them from the integrity of his heart and guided them with skillful hands.” (Ps 78:70-72) 

1. Leaders are chosen by God: Not by their academic tags but for His purpose. “You have not chosen me but I have chosen you and appointed (ordained) you to bring forth abundant, lasting fruit.” (John 15:5, 8, 16)

2. Strategic: David had many servants to whom he delegated the care of the other sheep whilst he personally took care of the ewes with lambs, the reproductive segment of his flock. Do not waste your time and resources on non-performers but invest on Movement catalyzers. If Moses had not nurtured Joshua, Israel would still be in wilderness.  

3. Multiply God’s Inheritance: Saved people are God’s inheritance. God remains intensely interested in leaders who are committed to birthing, protecting, nurturing and multiplying his inheritance. (Malachi 3:16-18; Ps 33:12)

4. Pursue Integrity:  Qualification for biblical leadership requires, “Look out (select), from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint for this business.” Doing so results in exponential growth. (Acts 6:3,7)

5. Skillfulness: Igniting a DMM (Disciple Making Movement) requires not only knowledge but entrepreneurial skill for birthing effective and productive leaders with whatever resources you have. David only had a sling.
