Problems yearn for solutions, not titles.
I was just reflecting on this passage in the literal sense where Jesus was showing us the path forward through the baptism and he also exhibited the leadership principle of never asking people to do something that we are not willing to do first.
The second principle that was revealed was that there are problems and needs that we have as leaders for which the solutions are already inside of our house, our team, our community, our church, our marriage, or our families – we just have to ask. We have all sufficiency in all things.
The best leaders not only seek out and ask for solutions/ help but we also must validate, empower and reinforce that those to whom we ask have the solution.
We must be prepared for disbelief, resistance and maybe overwhelm on their part due to the weight of the situation; however, as the leader, we need to encourage them and leave the demand on the table to just rest, marinate and stir up their creativity. They WILL rise up to the occasion AND deliver.
What’s awesome is that all the world will be blessed by their ideas and efforts for generations to come because Gods devine purpose will be fulfilled.
It is my prayer that we as leaders we will be humble enough to ask for help and vulnerable enough to wait for solutions as greatness will be manifested and God will get all the glory.
Be blessed,
Be a blessing!
“Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him.
But John protested strenuously, having in mind to prevent Him, saying, It is I who have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?
But Jesus replied to him, Permit it just now; for this is the fitting way for [both of] us to fulfill all righteousness [that is, to perform completely whatever is right]. Then he permitted Him.”
Matthew 3:13-15 AMPC
