Principles for Spiritual
Leadership from Exodus 14
1. Our availability and willingness to follow
the Lord's leadership and depend on the Lord's empowerment makes us spiritual
leaders. Moses learned that leading is about what God can do in and through us,
not what we can do for God.
2. God may allow us short-term failure in
leadership to build character and dependence, and to reveal his power and
glory. Moses did exactly what the Lord told him and it made the situation worse
for the Israelites.
3. The key to leading people who are discouraged
and won't follow is to keep focused on the Lord and follow his leadership.
Moses would have to learn that Following the Lord is the only way to be a
successful spiritual leader.
4. God allows adversity so that he can multiply
his miracles and reveal his power and glory. God wants people to realize that
he is Lord.
5. What may seem like aimless wandering in the
wilderness could very well be a part of God's plan. (Ex.14)
6. People will question
leadership when the direction seems detrimental to the cause. Don't give in to
the naysayers, but allow God to prove Himself. (Ex.14)
