PASTORAL LEADERSHIP: DAY FIVE

It's the size of the leader, not the size of the challenge, that determines whether people conquer new territory. As I study Joshua I realize that he was positioned by God to do one task, take the Israelites from SURVIVORS to SETTLERS. We've been given the same commission, HELP PEOPLE WIN. God puts no limitation on faith and faith puts no limitation on God. We have to be leaders with courage to do more than we've ever done, and to help people reach their potential. We have to help our people to understand God's winning equation: courage + obedience = success. Tozer said, "God is looking for people through whom he can do the impossible. What a pity that we plan only the things we can do by ourselves." Be strong and courageous today!


Joshua 1:9 (NIV)

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
