Are You a Self-Reliant Leader?

Jeremiah 17-7 Pin

Weeks 29 & 30 of the NIV Leadership Bible focus on the importance of dependence on God to leadership.

All people who lead others find more than enough things to worry about. What are your worries today? Are they deadlines, financial pressures, conflict with family or friends, or anything else?

As leaders who want to impact our generation, we need to lead in a way that allows others to see our faith in God. One way we can do that is by depending on God in the face of daily pressures. Remember that those you lead will see how you respond to life’s pressures and will likely follow your actions!

Out of This World Leaders Let Justice Roll…

Week 28 of the NIV Leadership Bible focuses on the important leadership skill of Justice.

In Amos’ time, the people of Israel were prosperous…but with that prosperity, they lost their spiritual edge. God was furious with them for compromising his principles to make a dollar. Leaders who should’ve administered justice didn’t. Ultimately, God offered them an opportunity for repentance and restoration. In order to please God, the leaders needed to exercise justice and righteousness (as noted in Amos 5:24 – pictured above).

What was true in ancient Israel remains true today. People thrive in a setting where fairness and justice are practiced. How would those closest to you evaluate the way you treat people? Would they say you’re biased or that you play favorites? Or are you fair and just?
