THE LEADER'S HEART

Phil2:4- Don't look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. NLT

I was teaching about leadership recently, one of the striking characteristics of a leader is that they must have the interest of others at heart. What makes a real leader is the ability to live for others and to be able to sacrifice for them. That is the heart of a real leader.

The leadership problem of Africa is traceable to the fact that the ruling class most times is always interested in self alone and not for the people. That is why you'll see a man embezzle the money that can better the lot of generations to come. They expose their supporters to danger and arm them to the teeth as political thugs but their children are in Europe or America enjoying.

Real leaders always have the genuine interest of others at heart. They serve the people without expectation of personal gains. Jesus is an example of a real leader. He sacrificed his life for our benefit not for his. He didn't need salvation because he is deity. If you will become the leader that everyone admires, develop a genuine heart that is interested in the people.

Leadership is an art that can be learnt, developed and nurtured. Let real leadership start from your home.

Action point

Father, I receive grace to develop the leader's heart In Jesus name. Amen.
