*TOPIC: LEADERSHIP AND PROCESS (2)*
*TEXT: Luke 3:2-3*
_During the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the desert._
*LESSON*
The process of growth begins with hunger for knowledge. In this sense, the kind of knowledge that makes a man a leader is what I call hidden truth. You are blind in the area of your ignorance and must keep quiet when knowledge is speaking. Knowing is the first stage in learning but it is more than it. You must move from knowing to learning and becoming acquainted with the standard you have learnt. You must be hungry for knowing the foundation and peak of all relevant matters; this gives a mind that understands concepts and has an holistic view of critical matters. It makes you look as if you know all things. This is important for leadership because every person you lead is like a puzzle waiting to be fixed; it is such level of knowledge that can make you fit to place such people correctly.
Leaders are known to be committed to standards but you cannot uphold a standard that you are not aware of. Are you hungry for foundational and accurate knowledge on all matters relevant to life? That is the leadership capacity in you waiting for cultivation. As this progresses, a time will come when you become differentiated into a specific assignment, then you must get special knowledge in that field.
Finally, look at the life of Daniel, when what others did not know was revealed to him ,he became a leader of the rest. When you have solution to problems that threaten others , you emerge a leader.
How has God positioned believers for world leadership? Firstly, he said to us belongs the mystery of the kingdom ( Matt13:17). Never let any kingdom truth remain a mystery to you. Be curious to unravel every aspect of the kingdom truths. This equips us to be solution to the world’s mess. This is how we are loaded with answers. Then, know what is going on in the world so that you can bail them out but know that you are not to partake in their experiences. Be acquainted with news with both knowledgeable and prophetic interpretation of trends and events. Be compassionate enough to dispense the solutions that you have been equipped with and this will open door for the manifestation of the leader in you.
*PRAYER ALERT*
I receive access to the hidden revelation of kingdom truths ( Jer 29:13)
