"PRINCIPLES OF LEADERSHIP"    PART 1



2 Timothy 2:15     

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Acts 9
 Now there was in Damascus a disciple named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he answered, Here am I, Lord.

 

¹¹ And the Lord said to him, Get up and go to the street called Straight and ask at the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus named Saul, for behold, he is praying [there].

¹² And he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias enter and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.

¹³ But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard many people tell about this man, especially how much evil and what great suffering he has brought on Your saints at Jerusalem;

¹⁴ Now he is here and has authority from the high priests to put in chains all who call upon Your name.

¹⁵ But the Lord said to him, Go, for this man is a chosen instrument of Mine to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the descendants of Israel;

¹⁶ For I will make clear to him how much he will be afflicted and must endure and suffer for My name’s sake.

 

THE FIRST PRINCIPLE UNCOMPROMISED; A LEADER MUST BE A CHOSEN INSTRUMENT OF GOD. WE DO NOT SELECT, FOR  SELECTING SAKE. TO FILL A POSITION. THE FEAR WOULD BE THAT WE MAY MISS THE MAN OR WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN CHOSEN TO SPEAK TO KINGS!
