WHAT ALL LEADERS NEED TO KNOW

Leaders are like drivers of a bus, and the way they drive affects the lives of all the passengers on board. If they drive well, all passengers on board are safe, but if they drive recklessly, they will cause a terrible accident, and the lives of everybody in the bus including theirs are in danger.

Therefore, to all leaders, both present and future, whether you are the President of a country, Governor of a state, Chairman of an organization, Pastor of a church, or leader of any kind of group, I want you to know very well and understand that you did not get to that position by your own power, but you are there because the sovereign God has put you there.

Psalm 75:7 says, "But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another," and Daniel 2:21 says, "He changes times and seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings." Thus, it doesn't matter how you got there, but the fact is, you are there just because God made it possible for you to be there.

Now, Proverbs 29:2 says, "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." So, do you see how the lives of the followers are affected by their leaders?
Thus, as a leader, considering the people you are leading, are they rejoicing or are they mourning because of the way you are leading them? This is the big question we all got to answer as it's time for the leaders to listen behind them and find out what is actually happening and what people are saying about them.

I am asking that the very God, who has put you in that position of leadership to take care of his people, give you the grace, wisdom and knowledge to do the right thing that will make most of your people, if not everybody to rejoice, in Jesus name. You are blessed to be a leader.
Jesus loves you and I do too.
