Legends of the Fall
Mahatma Gandhi, Wangari Mathai, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa… You! In every one of us is a great leader. But the bigger they are the harder they fall. Even the greatest leader has a hidden flaw, one that must be dealt with so we can achieve God’s purposes for our lives. This November, come and discover the stuff that great leaders are made of.

Pastor K, that sermon on THE DISOBEDIENT LEADER was a killer.
I am learning to handle my insecurities. I am learning that..
I should not be deceived by circumstances into distrusting and disobeying the LORD. Saul did that and lost his dynastic leadership.

Last Sunday I was reminded of some words I read many years ago from a book on leadership.
“SUCCESS HAS MADE FAILURES OF MANY MEN.”
” Leadership will destroy the man whose character has not been prepared for it. With higher levels come higher devils. Advancement , enlargement and promotion in the kingdom of God bring fiercer temptations, harsher attacks and greater opportunities for destruction. This means that before God takes us higher (by elevating our position or increasing our annointing) , He needs to deepen our foundation.
“Too many have been promoted before their character was enlarged enough to support that gigantic building.
” Too many ‘successiful’ leaders have collapsed under the weight of their promotion. Intermittent ethical compromises that once seemed like insignificant cracks in the foundation of a small building, become gaping breaches of immorality in the place of enlargement.
“Impure motives, like sleeping giants, were awakened by the egostic opportunities afforded in success. The spirituality that first initiated their increase was eroded by secret sins, and sadly, the heights to which they asceded came crashing down. Their foundation- their character was unable to support the pressures of their heightened success.
“Only when we allow God to deepen our character, will we be able to support greater levels of spiritual promotion and higher heights of tangible anointing.”
………………………………
” The Church will always have those who soar to great heights . There are many gifted and charismatic leaders whose ambition promises to orbit them into high visibility and wide influence. The danger is that some of these leaders are flying with loose panels of insulation. Their imurities may seem harmless now, especially in the place of obscurity and small responsibility. But as the fires of enlargement rage, these ‘harmless’ impurities became vulnerable deficiencies of character.
“The danger we face is that we tend to perceive that our impurities as not that significant!
” We rationalize, “It’s just a passing feeling of self-importance. It is only a casual stare it a lovely shape It is just a few coins-no one will notice.”
“What we may not realize is that, those ‘little’ compromises are the seeds that bring about a great leader’s ruin, great Church’s destruction, and horrible downfalls in the Kingdom of God.”
………………………………
I found that pretty scary and real.
O God help us.

Thanks Pastor K for that riveting message.

Glory- I give it to God
Girls- THAT I flee sexual lust like a desparate man.
Gold- I am just God’s Banker.
Thanks Pastor Kay for that! And Mrs Kay ulikuwa tops pia!
