Character Legitimizes leaders

July 20, 2021

It is character that gives people a legitimate right to lead others. Leaders without character are “illegal, because they are asking people to place their faith in an untrustworthy source. No one has a right to lead if he cannot be trusted, and it would be inappropriate for him to ask people to follow him. If he does, it’s as if he is running a scam, because con men are individuals who ask people to trust them, even though they will never deliver what people promise, but will, instead, steal something from them. There are many people throughout our world today who are powerful conmen- but they call themselves “leaders”. Is that statement too harsh? I don’t think so, because leaders without character who violate people’s faith inevitable take away some quantity of their valuable personal assets- things like trust, security, peace of mind, and hope. This is why, when people become disappointed over the poor ethical conduct of a leader they have followed, many of them become angry. They

Character Establish Integrity in Leaders

June 28, 2021

We have learned that character is built through tests over time and that having integrity involved the integration of one’s thoughts, words, and actions. Thus, a leader’s integrity can be established only over the course of time, which allows for this integration to occur. For this reason, leadership should not be given to people who have not yet been tested and tried. There must have a clear history expresses as evidence that they have demonstrate stability, trustworthiness, and competence over time. An emerging leader, therefore, must be tested to use to see if he can stand up under pressure: How stable is he when circumstances are not going well? Can he handle the weight of disappointment? To this end, an individual who is young or untried should be given a responsibility gradually, so that he can develop and manifest character with each level of accountability. This principle is the reason I emphasize the core character quality of quality, he cannot become a principled leader

When you Honor God He will bless you

June 18, 2021

When you honor God with your life, keeping Him in first place, he puts something on you called of commanded blessing. The commanded blessing is like a magnet. It attracts the right people, good breaks, contracts, ideas, resources, and influence. You don’t have to go after these thing, trying to make something happen in your own strength, your own talent, hoping that life works out. All you have to do is keep honoring God, and the right people will find you. The right opportunities will come across your path. The favor the wisdom and the vindication will track you down. Why? You’re become a magnet for God’s goodness. The military has what’s called a heat-seeking missile. They program a target into the computer and fire the missile off, which can travel thousands of miles. The intended target can be flying in the air, zigzagging here and there, trying to lose it. But it doesn’t have a chance. That heat-seeking missile follows it everywhere it goes. It eventually overtakes it and accomp

Put a Watch over Your Mouth

In the first chapter of Luke, an Angel appeared to a priest named Zachariah while he was serving in the temple. The angel told him that his wife, Elizabeth, was going to have a baby and they were to name him John. Zachariah was very surprised, because he and his wife were way up there in years. He said to the angel, “Are you sure this is going to happen? It sounds great, but do you see how old we are? To me, it just doesn’t seem possible.” The angel said, “Zachariah, I am Gabriel. Is stand in the presence of Almighty God, and what God says will come to pass.” God knows the power of our words. He knew that if Zachariah went around speaking defeat, it would stop his plan. So God did something unusual. The angel said, “Zachariah, because you doubted, you will remain silent and not be able to speak until the baby is born.” Zachariah left the temple unable to talk; he couldn’t speak one word for nine months, until that baby was born. Why did God take away Zachariah’s speech? God knew he

It Will Happen at the Exact Right Time

What God has planned for you is much bigger than anything you’ve ever dreamed. If God were to show you right now where He’s taking you the favor, the promotion, the influence it would bugle your mind. You may think, as I did, that you’re not the most qualified. You don’t have the personality or the talent. That’s okay. it’s not going to happen just because of your talent, your personality, or your hard work. It’s going to happen because of the commanded blessing on your life. God’s anointing on you is more important than your talent, your education, or what family you come from. You could have less talent, but with the favor of God, you will go further than people who have much more talent. You may not see how this can happen. It doesn’t seem possible. But you don’t have to figure it out. If you’ll just keep being your best right where you are, getting to work on time, doing more than you have to, being a person of excellence and integrity, the right people will find you and the right

The Power of Character to Create Leaders of Principle

April 18, 2021

W e noted that without leadership nothing is corrected without leadership no development, without leadership mo grow. let now review what we’ve learned about the importance to the development of leaders equipped to bring about a cultural course and to advance our societies through ethical principles. 1. Character Gives Leaders Credibility The only avenue for gaining credibility with people so that they will respect our leadership is to develop genuine character. When we demonstrate character, people will not make deposits in our ‘’trust account,’’ but they will also advance us “credit” as an investment in our future. They will follow us in faith-and every deposit and investment they make will strengthen the credibility of our character. If we be continue to be consistent, they will keep following us. We must build a stable honorable life if we want people to believe what we say about ourselves and our vision. How committed are you to leading with credibility? 2. Cha
