Leadership can mean a lot of things. Below I've listed 7 things that are part of every leader's life. God will help us to maintain and manage these points in our lives when we keep Him at the center of all we do.
- Leadership = lifestyle
- Leadership = love
- Leadership = giving
- Leadership = time
- Leadership = focus
- Leadership = consistency
- Leadership = Godliness
In
2 Peter 1:3, the Bible says,
"According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue." God has called us to glory and virtue. The word "called" literally means to be called by name. As leaders,
God is very detailed about our lives. He speaks to us directly about life, godliness, glory and virtue. Look at these definitions and think about how they apply to your life as a leader.
- Life - zoe life or the God kind of life; we are to live as copies of Christ as leaders (Ephesians 5:1)
- Godliness - reverence or respect; we should have a respect toward that is untouchable by people and things; we should also have self-respect and live in a way that shows the world we are confident in who we are (Romans 12:1-2)
- Glory - my opinion or view of God is that He alone is worthy; I live my life in a way that exemplifies my worship of Him in all things (Colossians 3:17)
- Virtue - thoughts, actions and ethics that are pure and modest at all times (1 Peter 1:16)
When life, godliness, glory and virtue are maintained in your life, it's easy to keep the 7 leadership points working strong. Listen to God's voice as He calls you to greatness and be a leader everywhere you go!
