Leadership Promises - Initiate Using Intuition

July 17

Initiate Using Intuition

"Then the king said to me (the queen also sitting beside him), 'How long will your journey be? And when will you return?' So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time." Nehemiah 2:6

Nehemiah couldn't imagine sitting still when he heard the walls of Jerusalem lay in shambles. He had to act. Of all the things a leader should fear, complacency ought to head the list. Leaders don't know everything, but they know enough to act. Nehemiah had insight into the following areas:

1. He knew how long the project would take. Nehemiah gave King Artaxerxes a definite time period for his absence.

2. He knew how to get there. Nehemiah asked for letters of permission to pass through the provinces beyond the river to Judah.

3. He knew what he would need to get the job done. Nehemiah requested timbers from Asaph to make beams and gates for the wall.

4. He knew that God's hand was upon him. Nehemiah got all that he requested because the hand of God rested on him.

What is your intuition telling you right now? Are you listening?

Leadership Promises - Give Up to Go Up

July 2   Give Up to Go Up  "This is the law of the Nazirite who vows to the Lord the offering for his separation, and besides that, whatever else his hand is able to provide; according to the vow which he takes, so he must do according to the law of his separation." Numbers 6:21 Through the vow of the Nazirite, God provided a way for both men and women to specially consecrate themselves to the Lord for a special time and purpose. Leaders such as Samson (and perhaps Samuel) made this vow, committing to abstain from wine and strong drink, to leave their hair uncut, and to avoid contact with corpses. They gave up certain rights or options in order to live at a higher standard. In other words, they practiced the Law of Sacrifice. They did so not to stand in judgment of others, but to discipline themselves against the temptations of the day. How can today's leaders apply the principle behind the Nazirite vow?
