Serving Leaders who Shoot for the Stars…
This week’s devotions from the John Maxwell Leadership Bible focused on the Law of Process (click here for a recap). As the Law states, everyone can grow and improve.
A few years back, Maxwell authored his 73rd book entitled The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth. He starts with this, “Life is now in session. Are you present?”
In the book, he outlines 15 principles that are valuable to anyone’s growth and development.

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?
