This week’s contribution on the theme of developing your spiritual base is a collection of quotes from the book on Spiritual Leadership by Henry & Richard Blackaby, ‘Pitfalls of a leader’. It is a great outline for reflection on our character and our attitudes as leaders of spiritual movements, whether in a church or on campus.
One of the quotes from the book that really stood out to
me is: "Leaders who surrender their positive attitude have resigned
themselves to be mediocre leaders at best.”
I think this list of quotes is a
great place to start in reflecting on your personal attitude. As a leader, all that is within you will become
visible sooner or later, so I would encourage you to take regular times apart
with the Lord to do an assessment of your heart and relationship with God.
I would encourage you to set aside a significant portion
of time to spend with the Lord reflecting on these thoughts and questions
(there are a set of good questions at the end) and spend some time meditating
on the passages listed at the end. I
know I need to do this myself. Let’s
pray for one another that we would "nurture a strong relationship with almighty
God which would allow us the freedom to follow our God-given convictions and to
bring glory to God."
