LEADERSHIP
Topic:
Elements Of A Good Leader - Boldness
Acts 4:29-31 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus." And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
It is a dangerous experience to find one who has been raised to lead so shaken and intimidated by things said of him or done towards him that, he nolonger has a voice in the sphere of his leadership. In a family, church, business, and workplace, many visions have been killed because of fear for what has raised the dust.
Being a leader, expect fallen forces and contradicting convictions of wicked men to stand against you; You're not exempted from such but it's a great opportunity to showcase your call that the glory of God may be seen and hearts be transformed. That's why in our opening verses, having threatened the Apostles never to preach again the name of Jesus, they refused to be submissive and subject to their threat but moved on to pray in one accord to the Lord that they may be filled with the boldness to finish the assignment.
This is the true mind of a leader: Never to be shaken but to stand in boldness to do the work. We are not of them who are weak, fainting in the time of adversity but we are strong in the Lord rejoicing in the doings of the Lord in us. Child of God be bold and minister the mind of God in all wisdom as a leader in your family, workplace, business and the nations.

Prophetic Declarations:
Heavenly father, I thank you for your Spirit which you've given to me. The Spirit of boldness to be an excellent minister, leader in this generation and generations to come. Just like Moses, Elijah, David and our Lord Jesus Christ, we shall stand and minister the mind of God for our workplaces, nations, families and businesses not being shaken at all. In Jesus' name. Amen
