Vital Classes of Price to be paid in Leadership
1.
Price of comprehending leadership
calling – Mark 8:22-25;
Phil.2:5. When it comes to walking, living and functioning in our leadership
calling, some Christian leaders do not understand this realm. “Ignorance breeds
fears, and fear will always cause us to reject” what we are confronted with in
our leadership calling; but when we catch a glimpse of our leadership role and
start to see the results, fruit and impact of it, we desire more.
2.
Price of your commanded Life pattern
and Duty – Acts 20:28;
John 3:30. The scope of your leadership call should be capable of consuming
your life; in that nothing should be able to take away from you the vital
reality of your call in adequately leading His people aright. You cannot afford
to neglect the duty post for any reason. May you be encouraged to commit your
all for the cause of your call in leadership. You will never regret it; and you
will accomplish greater heights for Him in Jesus name.
3.
Price of correct motive and intent – Luke
21:34; Prov.4:23. You
must pay the price of constantly carrying a clean and unclouded heart; which
does not have any ill-will, ill-feeling and misgiving against anyone. Take no offence
for anything under any situation or circumstances. Let your heart intentionally
harm no one; and be full of consideration for others. It is immensely and
hugely required that your heart be regularly guided as a leader.
4.
Price of Core Value and Impact in
Service – Prov. 16:12;
Matt.18:6. The value of acceptable service in leadership in portrayed by
righteousness; and not wickedness. Dare to pay the price of righteousness; and
kill wicked intention in your leadership service to the Lord. It will be too risky
not to pay this price, because it would have been better off.
5.
Price of Labour and Hardship – 2Cor.11:22-28; Rev.2:1-3. Leaders are
not ready to labour more, even when tired and in hardship are not worthy of the
assignment. The price of longsuffering and endurance for the sake of your
leadership task cannot be over looked. Clear focus and devotion with concentration
on the task to survive will dispel the distraction and pressure of fatigue on
the line of our assignment.
