ITS HARD TO RAISE UP LEADERS!

Yes, you read my title right its hard to raise up leaders. Why you might ask, here are some of the reasons.

1. it takes extra time.. sometimes its tempting to do it yourself so that work will be faster
2. it takes extra effort .. see # 1
3. it takes extra patience.. see #1 and #2
4. they are a lot younger... generation gap ( different culture,language and mindset) makes me wanna go crazy @ times
5. their mistakes cost the organization .. money, time, resources, bad services, terrible preachings etc...

Yes its hard but we should DO IT ANYWAY!!! I was young once.. im glad someone raised me up in spite of these 5 reasons. After all the blood, sweat,and tears. Seeing a leader rise up and fulfill his/her destiny is one of the greatest joys i have in being a spiritual leader.

Lets all raise up the future leaders of our nation.

A BALANCED DIET!

Im trying to lose weight been trying to read healthier diets for a healthier life. Most of the articles I checked spoke about a balanced meal, enough carbo, meat,veggies, fruit and water. An overdose of one can lead to danger.

The same is true in leadership, I have been learning that one has to have a balance diet in order to have a healthy ministry.

So here are some of the things I need to work on my diet as a leader..( NOT IN ORDER EXCEPT #1 )

1. SPIRITUAL DEPTH .. at the end of everything my job ( husband ,father, pastor) calls for me to lead my family spiritually. To draw closer to God and have a deeper love and faith in Him.

2. STRATEGIC INSIGHT .. to plan the most effective and efficient way of running my family and ministry

3. VISION CASTING... in todays tough times, people need to hear there is a great future to inspire them to work on the present

4. SYSTEM ANALYSIS ...inspired people (vision) and great plans ( strategy) WITHOUT systems...will lead to burdened and confused followers.


I need to work on more, but I know I need to deal with these now.. A BALANCE DIET..
