ULTIMATE leadership book

 

Galatians 6:2

King James Version

2 Bear ye one another's burdens, 

and so fulfil the law of Christ.


I've searched many books.

Bought many books.

Read many books.

Sold many books.

Gave away many books.

Tried to comprehend those books.

But there was always something missing.


I was looking for a book on "ULTIMATE" leadership.

The kind I can trust.

The kind I can respect.

The kind I can follow.

The kind I can share.

Did I find it?

Nope.


That's why I kept searching.

And searching.

Until I got mighty exhausted.

Even pocket got exhausted.

Bookstores got tired, too.

They could not offer me anything new.

They could not offer me the thing I was looking for.

But one day, 55 months ago, I found it.

GOD gave me His Bible.


That stopped all the search.

In ONE, GLORIOUS book, I found ALL my answers.

I wouldn't touch any other book after that.

You can have your leadership, and management books.

I'll stick to GOD's WORD.


If you want to lead perfectly, read about JESUS.

If you want practical leadership tips, read Book of Proverbs.

If you want a smart time management system, look to what Jethro told his son-in-law, Moses:

Exodus 18:13

King James Version

13 And it came to pass on the morrow, 

that Moses sat to judge the people: 

and the people stood by Moses 

from the morning unto the evening.


Exodus 18:14

King James Version

14 And when Moses' father in law 

saw all that he did to the people, 

he said, 

What is this thing that thou doest to the people? 

why sittest thou thyself alone, 

and all the people stand by thee 

from morning unto even?


Exodus 18:15-16

King James Version

15 And Moses said unto his father in law, 

Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:

16 When they have a matter, they come unto me; 

and I judge between one and another, 

and I do make them know the statutes of God, 

and his laws.


Exodus 18:17-18

King James Version

17 And Moses' father in law said unto him, 

The thing that thou doest is not good.

18 Thou wilt surely wear away, 

both thou, and this people that is with thee: 

for this thing is too heavy for thee; 

thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.


Exodus 18:19-20

King James Version

19 Hearken now unto my voice, 

I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: 

Be thou for the people to God-ward, 

that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:

20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, 

and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, 

and the work that they must do.


Exodus 18:21

King James Version

21 Moreover thou shalt provide 

out of all the people able men, 

such as fear God, 

men of truth, 

hating covetousness; 

and place such over them, 

to be rulers of thousands, 

and rulers of hundreds, 

rulers of fifties, 

and rulers of tens:


Exodus 18:22

King James Version

22 And let them judge the people at all seasons: 

and it shall be, that every great matter 

they shall bring unto thee, 

but every small matter they shall judge: 

so shall it be easier for thyself, 

and they shall bear the burden with thee.


Exodus 18:23

King James Version

23 If thou shalt do this thing, 

and God command thee so, 

then thou shalt be able to endure, 

and all this people shall also go to their place 

in peace.


Exodus 18:24-26

King James Version

24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, 

and did all that he had said.

25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, 

and made them heads over the people, 

rulers of thousands, 

rulers of hundreds, 

rulers of fifties, 

and rulers of tens.

26 And they judged the people at all seasons: 

the hard causes they brought unto Moses, 

but every small matter they judged themselves.


Today, Jethro's advice, is called "delegation".

These were men of the hills, plains, valleys, springs, and deserts.

They were not caught up in definitions.

They did, according to GOD's commands.

GOD taught them to worship Him.

And to live rightly.


GOD's BOOK is ahead of its time.

How can it not?

GOD is MASTER of TIME.

The Bible puts us all to shame.

Romans 1:22

King James Version

22 Professing themselves to be wise, 

they became fools,


If you're a leader, be not proud.

TURN to GOD, for counsel.

Only by being born again, can you be taught by GOD's SPIRIT.

Only by learning from SPIRIT, can you know JESUS.

Only by knowing JESUS, can you understand GOD's WORD.

Only by understanding GOD's WORD, can you know love, life, and leadership.

And anything else you want to know about.

These are not idle claims.

I claim these stoutly.
