A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.com/
I was reflecting on these scriptures this morning and the thought that our leadership growth can be uncomfortable as we are elevated to higher and higher levels.
The Bible tells us that:
“A man’s gift maketh room for him, And bringeth him before great men.”
Proverbs 18:16 KJV
Amen
We see with Moses that elevation can cause us to experience moments of doubt, feelings of inadequacy, concerns about protocols and to question our communication effectiveness.
In short, there are instant demands to refine our thinking, decision making and conversation that, when mastered , will position us to make a greater impact for the Kingdom.
Scripture comforts us and reassure us that we belong in the room by saying:
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: And he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: For the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.”
Psalm 37:23-24 KJV
“And those whom He predestined, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified [declared free of the guilt of sin]; and those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity].”
Romans 8:30 AMP
““If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the best of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword.” For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
Isaiah 1:19-20 AMP
“For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Then you will call on Me and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear [your voice] and I will listen to you.
Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. [Deut 4:29, 30]”
Jeremiah 29:11-13 AMP
Thank you Lord!
We, the leaders, must focus on our learning new disciplines, hearing from the Holy Spirit to read the room and communicating in a calm, crisp and concise manner – starting with the big picture followed by a few bullet points.
Our goal is to always ensure that the message is clearly understood including identified gaps and required trade offs for success- always providing wise council with yes and amen.
In conclusion, when we arrive, we must be prepared (mentally), prepared (emotionally) and prepared (spiritually) as we represent the king of kings and the lord of lords!
We simply need to:
“Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].”
Proverbs 3:5-6 AMP
And
“If you promised God that you would be loyal to the king, I advise you to keep that promise. Don’t quickly oppose the king or argue when he has already made up his mind. The king’s word is law. No one can ask him, “Why are you doing this?””
Ecclesiastes 8:2-4 CEV
When we do, these things, we know we can rest in peace.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
John 14:27 KJV
In Jesus Name. Amen.
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”
Exodus 3:9-15 KJV
