Wisdom Keys for every leader.

?Wisdom Keys for every leader.

?Weekly Greetings

It is a brand-new week, and possibly a brand-new era, I trust you are waiting to excel and ready to soar with the eagles. May I submit to you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made? There is no one who will ever be like you because you were created not as a limited edition but as the only edition of your kind.

You Must Show Up

The greatest challenge you face as a human being and a leader is the failure to realize your full potential. The universe is waiting for your manifestation as a leader. When you show up in your element life will be better on this planet for everyone within your sphere of influence.

I have put together some interesting submissions which I hope can build you into a formidable and highly credible leader of our times.

The Storm is your ally

Learn to apply yourself during the storm seasons or moments. Storms may look scary and overwhelming. They may look like they will destroy you or bury you alive. However, the truth is that not all storms are your antagonizer, other storms are primarily there to clear your way so that you may function better and excel. Consider what the eagle does in the storm it goes for the jugular vein to increase its functionality. At times troubles will shape the way you think. Keep a positive outlook towards life and know that God has your back as he promised to Jeremiah that he has a plan to give him an expected end. Storms are your friend; they are an opportunity to go higher.

No leader is perfect

The fact that you are an adult will certainly mean you have been alive for a while. If you are alive you may have tried a lot of things to go forward but honestly, some of them flopped big time in your presence. Others were a huge dent of failure to your person in painful circumstances. All I am saying is that you are not perfect and you have messed up stuff big time. However, you cannot get to fulfill your leadership potential by dwelling in the past. Do not allow the mistakes from your past to be your jail. Allow them to become your nuggets of wisdom. Do not allow the burden of history to keep you under pressure. Life has to go on, pick up your mat of errors and continue leading. God’s grace is always sufficient for every season of your life.

?The Earth and its people are not perfect

The last time I checked, you are still here on earth. The earth is full of imperfections. It is full of men and women who intend to do good but on occasion, they fail. These well-meaning people will from time-to-time step on your toes, wrong you, and annoy you. Sadly, when they do that, our Master Lord Jesus Christ expects us to forgive them. He instructed the apostle Peter to forgive others four hundred and ninety times in a day. Forgiveness on your part as a leader is non-negotiable. When you forgive others, you clear your path for blessings. When you forgive others, you are on your way to true growth. Let the bad vibe go and grow as a leader. You must always remember that people are people.

The Fear of the Lord shall make you wise

We are here on earth not because we applied to be here. There is a God in heaven, it was his pleasure to have us on board. His being God does not depend on us, yet our existence is solely his discretion. Those who want to have a longevity of life will fear such a Great God. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom. As a leader, you must remember that you are a steward of power and authority because real power belongs to God. The fear of Jehovah God is your starting point of wisdom. Refuse to be a fool and embrace true knowledge which is built on wisdom and discipline.

Avoid Greed at all costs

A leader should be a pillar of strength for those whom they lead. Jack Welch submits that before you become a leader, life is about yourself yet when you become a leader life is about others. So, as a leader, you must be a person who strives to make others better. In order to be there for others, you must avoid greed. Greed has claimed the lives of many would-be great leaders. Others are languishing in prison and yet others are six feet down, resting there never to rise again. The spirit of greed is the spirit of a pauper. It is never satisfied by anything except hoarding more. Greed has robbed too many lives of their leadership potential.

Leaders should pursue wisdom and understanding

Wisdom simply put means knowing what to do, when to do it, and how to do something. Most failed leaders are victims of failure to apply wisdom. Wisdom is able to help a leader live a wholesome life. It simplifies the complicated and demystifies the mysterious. A leader should be wise enough to know the implications of their decisions. It is important to be a leader who is wise, but it is more important to add understanding to wisdom. Understanding is usually the practical application of the wisdom you have to practical challenges. That is what gives wisdom true power, that application. Those leaders who choose to listen to the voice of wisdom will live in peace, they will not fear any harm.

It is your time to soar

This is why you ought to tune your ears to wisdom and concentrate on understanding. The voice of wisdom is a key ally to your leadership journey it is what will set you apart as a leader. It is the voice that will tell you when it is time to go.

May your leadership lid be lifted in this season. May you transform into the leader you dream of. The time for you to manifest is now. Jesus Christ is Lord and the ultimate embodiment of leadership. May your leadership lid be lifted. May your name be great and may you become the standard bearer of all good things. Christ in you, the hope of Glory.?
