Leadership and Power

November 1, 2024 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

The thought of leadership and power often creates the temptation to use one’s power inappropriately.

It is tragic to read or hear of men who succumb to immorality or unethical business practices. In a moment of poor judgment, when power is abused, character is destroyed.

Consider the awesome God we serve.

Practice His presence… ALWAYS!
Never say or do anything we wouldn’t in His presence.
Remember that any leadership position is given by God.
Develop an open door policy.
Pray… without ceasing.

Perhaps these few suggestions will help us understand the proper use of the power entrusted to us by God.

A Great Responsibility

When Paul wrote Timothy, he used an interesting word translated entrust. The idea was to take what was entrusted to him and entrust it to others.

At the root of this word is the concept of placing before or into the hand of another. It represents responsibility. Whatever was placed into the hand carried a responsibility of placing into the hand of someone else that it might be perpetuated into the future.

When we apply the concept to leadership, this principle indicates a succession that leaders must consider for the future. How seriously do we take this responsibility?

Entrusting Leaders…

The Greek word translated “entrust” carries the idea of placing something into the hand of another.

Paul reminded Timothy of what had been entrusted to him and instructed him to place it into the hands of those who are faithful so that they, in turn, would teach others also.

When something is entrusted to us, we have a responsibility to care for, guard, protect, cherish, and faithfully use it.

Considering what has been placed into our hands as spiritual leaders, we carry this same responsibility.

One day we will give an account for the stewardship of what has been entrusted to us, including the souls we lead.
