Leadership Principles from God’s Word: What drives you as a leader?
1. Is the pursuit of the knowledge of God the main focus of your life? Would those closest to you draw that conclusion? …Everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have put aside all else, counting it worth less than nothing, in order that I can have Christ. (Phil. 3:8 – Living) Leadership Principles from God’s Word: What drives you as a leader?
2. Is your life dictated by Biblical priorities? Have you made peace with the fact that because you are human, you have limited resources (time, money, energy, etc.)? Are your children attracted to or repelled by the tone, focus and tempo of your life? Your ministry? Do they - and will they - want to emulate you? My son, give me your heart and let your eyes keep to my ways. (Prov. 23:26) Leadership Principles from God’s Word: What drives you as a leader?

3. Is your family life a healthy and attractive Biblical model for your broader ministry outside the home? How is the quality of your relationship with your spouse? How is the quality of training, instruction and discipline you are giving your children? [An elder] must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?) (I Tim. 3:4,5) (See Eph. 6:1-4; Col. 18-21; I Pet. 3:1-11)

4. Are there fears you have not been able to release to God? Why? What effect is this having on your walk with God? Marriage? Ministry? Are there other crippling areas of bondage in your life? Do you believe God can heal? Deliver? Whom are you allowing into your life to help you? So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed...I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. (John 8:36; Psalm 34:4) (See Psalm 103:2-5; James 5:16; Ecc. 4:9,10)

5. Do you have a fresh, crisp, compelling vision for your life? Your ministry? Or are you simply muddling through? Where there is no vision, the people perish. (Prov. 29:18a KJV) (See Eph. 5:1517)

6. Is there a healthy balance in your ministry between relating to and cultivating the lost, and discipling the saved? • So everywhere we go we talk about Christ to all who will listen, warning them and teaching them as well as we know how. We want to be able to present each one to God, perfect because of what Christ has done for each of them. (Col. 1:28 Living) Leadership Principles from God’s Word: What drives you as a leader?
7. Is there a sense of 'movement' in your ministry? Or are you stagnated? On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. (Acts 14:27) (See Acts 15:4; 1 Thess. 1:6-10)

Learning, application and commitment: James 1: 22-25 • “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. • Do what it says. • Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in the mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. • But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it - he will be blessed in what he does.” (NIV) Leadership Principles from God’s Word: What drives you as a leader?
