Join us as we continue to lead others on our climb...James 3:17
The higher you are in a position of leadership, the broader your influence will become on others and the more pervasive the responsibility will be on your life. When you accept the responsibility of influencing others. Maybe you did not realize you were signing up for a lifestyle when you agreed to lead the church committee or accepted the promotion at work.
Leadership is not a job; it is a lifestyle.
Lifestyle leadership requires godly wisdom. Therefore, the wisdom described in James 3:17 is important for you because it presents a hierarchy or ladder of wise traits for the leader. Each characteristic builds upon the previous one and must be an integrated and true part of your lifestyle.
You cultivate a pure motive and character, which enables you to bring peace to others. You can then add peace with fairness to everyone in a situation. As you evolve as a wise leader, you will care for those in need and help meet their needs through your good deeds for them. As this display of wisdom becomes ingrained in your lifestyle, you will become more unwavering and genuine in you leadership in every area of your life. I have experienced this first hand as a husband, father, friend and most clearly as the pastor of Selah Church. God gives big vision as you gain big belief. Leadership is not a role that you play, but an expression of your wisdom to benefit others. The higher you climb in leadership, the less room you have for anonymity and conformity and the more room you have to influence others to greatness. This is why I feel led to share on Facebook with my friends and not just talk-the-talk but walk-the-walk with you.
Selah people' and friends make a list of ten people, including family, friends, and colleagues, whom you most influence regularly. Trust me you do have influence over others. Pray and ask God to show you how to be an even wiser influence on each person.
"Trust in God and remember to lead you must trust and believe that you can achieve. Take someone by the hand and let them know just how much God loves them and wants the best for them."
Your pastor,
Rev Patrick Muston
