Are Your Leaders Standing Firm?

good shepherd makes a good leader

Our world, the world that we live in today, cries out for a leader, a good leader. A leader who is able to articulate a vision and persuade others; someone who leads by example; It has been said that a good leader “walks the talk”. A good leader is someone who is committed to excellence; he maintains high standards and always looking for a way to raise the bar in order to achieve excellence in all areas. The Church needs good and seasoned leaders that will not be afraid to stand for the truth of the gospel of Jesus. Our country greatly needs leaders that possess these qualities. I like what Thomas Jefferson said about a good leader: “In matters of style swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock”. A leader does not change overnight. He does not change just because he is running for office. He stands firm.

Jesus, in John 10, reveals himself as “the Good Shepherd”.
 
 
Peace and blessings!
 

"For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay” (Habakkuk 2:3).
