” A true and safe leader is likely to be one who has no desire to lead, but is forced into a position of leadership by the inward pressure of the Holy Spirit and the press of the external situation. Such were Moses and David and the O.T. prophets.
I think there was hardly a great leader from Paul to the present day but was drafted by the Holy Spirit fot the task, and commissioned bythe Lord of the Church to fill a position he had little heart for.
I believe it might be accepted as a fairly reliable rule of thumb the man who is ambitious to lead is disqualified as a leader. The true leader will have no desire to lord it over God’s heritage, but will be humble, gentle, self-sacrificing and altogether as ready to follow as to lead, when the Spitit makes it clear that a wiser and more gifted man than himself has appeared.”
A. W. Tozer. “The Reapeer, Feb. 1962, pp. 459.
Everything rises or falls on Leadership.
Leadership is priceless’
It took God 40 years to prepare Moses – a man of great conviction, to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt. Moses delivered the entire nation of Israel from the slavery and bondage of Egypt.
Joseph was sold as a slave to Egypt at age 17. It took God 13 years to prepare him for the office of a Prime Minister. Pharoah officially appointed Joseph over the affairs of Egypt when Joseph was 30 years old. Joseph saved his entire family and the Egyptian nation from the seven years of great famine.
