FROM THE PATRIARCH'S ❤️
BE AN EFFECTIVE LEADER PART ONE.
" And the king said to Zadok, carry back the Ark of God into the city if I shall find favour in the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me again and show me both it, and his habitation.
But if he say thus I have no delight in thee, behold here am I let him do to me as seemeth good into him ...... ( 2 Samuel: 25 - 29 )
Studying this passage of scripture recently, I was struck by David's capacity as an able leader even in the midst of greatest crises in his life. His son Absalom just drove him out of the throne, having taken over the Kingdom. There was confusion and panic everywhere. In the midst of all these, David though barefooted and crying exhibited real Leadership.
He instructed Zadok the priest what to do with the Ark of the Lord. Instruction : That's leadership.
He told the priest about his plan, here is my plan David said. Plan, Strategic plan, that's leadership.
He sent some specific servants on some specific assignments promising to " wait... for a report from you" (2 Samuel 15:29 ). A report on a given assignment, that's leadership.
No wonder David won the Battle but the secret of his Success was because he took responsibility and and exercised leadership.
May we learn from the exemplary life of David to be an impactful leader that God has designed you to be.
ICOBAC is all about leadership development and Impartation.
Have a wonderful day of accomplishments.
Loads of love.
The Patriarch Archbishop.
