LEADERS AND LEADERSHIP


The world and our nation today are confronted with challenges that emanates as insuperable. Bankrupt nations, moral decadence, security and defense are being eroded.

The youth, our future leaders are confused, demoralized and alienated. In the midst of these enormous challenges, our generation is encountering serious problem: leadership crises.

Not just the church that is facing poor quality leaders but the nations of our world and organizations. “Everything rises and fall on leadership” said the leadership expert John. C. Maxwell.

Becoming an influence in your generation and affecting lives is not just the issue about personality, wealth or how well you can articulate your ideas but is about quality leadership.

We can never have successful churches, nations, enterprises or companies without a quality leadership being exhibited.

As, I visit places looking for leaders to talk to I only see followers, managers, supervisors and disciplinarians. Where are the leaders, no wonder there are leadership vacuum in our world today, especially in Africa.

Who is a leader and what is leadership? A leader is someone who possessed VISION, PASSION, TRUST and INTEGRITY.

VISION is a mental picture of a future state communicated by God to you. Understand that to be a Christian leader, the vision towards which you lead others must not be a vision of your own making but a vision God gave you.

The Apostle Paul said to King Agrippa he was not disobedient to the heavenly vision. We have heard so much about vision that many people are bored with it and that is why they don’t have some.
