Follow The Leader

It is often said that the people can only go as far as their leader has gone. That presents quite a challenge for women in ministry. Our responsibility is to lead women into spiritual growth and new adventures of faith and that is all limited by our personal spiritual position. Taking time to be alone with the Lord and develop our own relationship is vital to our leadership ability. As the year begins, it is a good time to evaluate where you were with the Lord this time a year ago and what you have learned about Him. This is a daily process of Bible reading, meditation and prayer. We should constantly be seeking His will for our lives and our ministry and calling on Him for wisdom. Leadership calls for a higher standard of living and that can only be accomplished through an understanding of Christ-likeness on our part. One of my favority tools is the Leadership Bible which has a study plan for leaders through the Scriptures. Also, journaling our prayers and the answers God gives us is helpful. Let's refuel so that we can be godly leaders.
