Its
glaring and not just a fact but realistic ''TRUTH'' the problem of this country
(Nigeria )
is ''LEADERSHIP'' People may argue and say …what about the followers?...but NO!...I
say… its leadership...
True
leadership is taking the lead in all that is set as a goal/objective and dimensions
untold. True leadership has the capacity to produce and provoke true
followership...it is impactful in nature or what I call intoxicating or contagious...that
is why I strongly oppose that it is the followership that have the problem in
any scenario...see David in the scriptures...thieves and hoodlums came to him
but at the end of the day they all became mighty men of valor fighting at his
side...this means that you can’t be sent and not carry the grace to attract
true followership to yourself and if you can’t attract it, then you should have
the capacity to provoke or produce true followership that will work with you to
enlarge the boundaries of your ministry or vision.
In
other words leadership generally can either bring out the best in you, ‘’kill’’
the best in you (like it does to many hard working talented Nigerians) or make
a mediocre of the champion in you...in like manner at work and most especially
in the churches...if the leader fails to contact the leadership SPIRIT, which
is the true virtue of his call and transformative power to attract true
followership, and provoke/produce necessary followership...then he will make a
mess of the destiny of the people ,mingling with the minor and making a failure
of the organization
The
truth is that you cannot give what you do not have neither can you manifest
what is not in you. The glory the creature is waiting for its manifestation is
already in us. You may read it, copy it or even preach it; once you don’t have
it…you don’t have it. Spirit leadership is the spirit that makes the difference
between leaders and mangers. Leaders pioneer into unchartered dimensions while
managers maintain what is on ground, leaders dare the policies and laws for in
the name of national change or kingdom advancement, managers stay within the
confines of the law, leaders makes worth out of waste, managers makes waste out
of worth by not fully maximizing potentials, leaders are innovative and
creative, mangers keeps it at it is, leaders brings out the destiny in you, managers
brings the best in you, Leaders carry grace for impartation, managers believe
in training, leaders are spirit led, managers are policy led, leaders are fill
with inspiration for perspiration, while managers fill with fear.
Friends
until we contact this spirit, we are not able to make global impact. it is a
force and divine hand of God…a strange order of hand that comes upon a man to
command exploits in his field of command, it is a spirit that comes upon a man
to raise many in his stead and to impart them in that order of influence and
change.
This
spirit drives the visioner and commits men to his vision, it intoxicates him,
and causes him to think the vision, eat the vision, and sleep the vision. It
rouses up ‘’helpers of the war’’ who are equipped to interpret the vision and
set a stage of next levels for the visioners vision. This spirit is humanity
oriented as everything about it is to raise men, prepare men and equip them for
the future. It is the measure of this spirit in a president of a country, an
individual or a man of God that will tell how successful he will be or how much
resources God will commit into his care. By success I do not mean big mansions,
latest cars, air condition churches, etc, but how much men are touched on a
daily basis, how much lives are transformed, how much people are growing and
becoming a blessing to others themselves, how much influence as been generated
etc…
So,
I therefore charge every one who believes in Nigeria and the Church, who
believes in the power of change and knows fully well that change will not come
except a man is prepared and ready for it and be used of the creator, who
believes in the mystery of Spirit leadership and who believes that God will use
them to build the broken down walls of this country and rebuild the broken
temple of the church of God … ‘’receive this spirit now’’…the future and your
world awaits you!
