Text: Phil. 2:1-11;
Exod.3:1-10; 1Timothy 2:1-8
God created the world
and man in a way that calls for effective leadership at all times to attract
His blessing. Perhaps that was the truth that implied in Genesis 2:5-7 when it
is said that rain was withheld from falling because man had not been created to
till the ground.
Without man rain on
earth would have rendered the entire planet earth a big jungle that renders it
a horrible sight. The absence of leadership in any institution will certainly
create plenty of pain rather than pleasure. So, we must pray that God should give
us abundant leadership spirit. I gathered from Myles Munroe that leadership is
a spirit. Then, my understanding of Zechariah 4:6-7 was sharpened and placed in
the right perspective.
The Blessing of Prayer
So the spirit of
leadership compels us to pray for the right people, pray with the right people
and depend on the anointing that flows from prayers when we are saddled with
the responsibility of leading and selecting leaders in our team. The example of
our Lord in Luke 6:12-13 is instructive.
To be continued.
