Unraveling The Scriptures For Leadership Effectiveness Muestra

Leaders, Here is Your Key to Personal Effectiveness!

Ever wondered why we learned to read? Reading is a gateway skill that opens doors of opportunities for success and well-being. I believe we learned to read in order to prepare us for success. It should matter then WHAT you read! Whatever you read should take you to personal effectiveness.

In the olden times in Israel, kings were instructed to keep a copy of the Scripture, personally copied in their own handwriting, “reading them daily as long as they live”. And what is the purpose for doing all these? – so that they “will fear the LORD by obeying all these instructions and decrees”! And what results from doing this? – regular reading will (1) prevent him from becoming proud, (2) prevent him from turning away from what is right, and (3) ensure his reign for many generations. The kings who did this faithfully were proven to have ended ruling well (i.d. King David and eight other kings of Judah).

We need humble leaders who lead, not for personal gain, but to serve his people. We need humble leaders who will do what is just and right for our organizational well-being. We like working for employers who lead with humility – humble enough to follow the standards and what is expected of them, not seeking after their own personal whims. What is the key to becoming the leader like this? The regular reading of the Scriptures.

You will have your turn to lead. If you are already holding a leadership position, turn your course toward effective leadership. Today is the best time to do that. Use that long-learned gateway skill to make you effective, humble and successful. Read the WORD, apply it and see the difference it can make.
