Three Scriptures That Prove You're A Leader
/
Everyone can be a leader if you work at it. As we learned the previous week “Leadership is… about one life influencing another.” —John C. Maxwell. Influence is the key to leadership. The believer or Christian has leadership potential built into them. The believer has more potential in leadership than a non-believer. Let me show you through the Word of God.
Built-in leadership ability: Genesis 1:27, So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Everyone on earth is created in the image and likeness of the Most High. Ambition, focus, determination, education, and optimism can only get you so far, but the believer in Christ can fully tap into this divine ability. You are created to live, think, and be like God and that means to lead like Him too.
Operations: Acts 17:28 says, “For in him we live and move and exist…’” In the Holy Spirit, we live, move, and exit. How we operate should not be out of our own thoughts or ability but it is out of the leading, power, character, and fruit of the Holy Spirit. Our leadership operation is a direct result of tuning into and following the voice of the Spirit. This can be harnessed by reading the Word and prayer.
New Creation: Ephesians 2:10 NLT: “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” You are not the old you but re-created as a masterpiece in Christ Jesus. Jesus is every day making you more and more into His image and His character so that we will be all He has created us to be.
God is calling you and challenging you to step into growth to be the leader He created you to be.
2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."
