In Romans 12:4-8, Paul refers to the Spiritual Gifts given to Christians to strengthen the church. One of those gifts, found in verse 7, is that of exhortation. Exhorters are people who spur others on to higher levels of achievement. In doing so, they help their team members develop their own leadership qualities. Exhorters accomplish extraordinary things by enabling others to act. Some people have this natural gift. But what about those of us who don’t have the spiritual gift of exhortation?
Leadership is an art. As such, it consists of skills that can be studied, practiced, and mastered. Fortunately, this week’s devotions found in the NIV Leadership Bible help us understand how to better exhort and encourage people around us.
Is there someone you know who might be spurred on to great things as a result of your exhortation?
