3 Inquiries to Inspire Change: Ways to Thrive in Leadership
Matthew 20:25-27 "But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles have absolute power and lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them [tyrannizing them]. 26 It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, 27 and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your [willing and humble] slave;"
3 Inquiries to Inspire Change is a prompt for you to journal and pray. Ask God to help you identify your ‘not-so-good’ habits.
WHY?
Because fear, pride, arrogance, and even anger restrain us from becoming servant leaders.
Those emotions keep us complacent because we are unwilling to listen to hard criticism or negative feedback. The truth only adds fuel to the emotional fire. One way to combat that is to acknowledge the problem and ask God through prayer to break the chains. (It may require fasting and praying.)
Challenging Action Step:
How can you be intentional about regularly serving others?
Remember, servant leaders, require approval from one source, God. They enjoy pleasing the Lord through their actions, deeds and give Him praise for the opportunity. Let us all strive to be more like Jesus and challenge the Adversary’s lies.
