Leadership Lessons From Jesus Part 2

#2: Jesus Never Tried to Succeed Alone.
"So don't go to war without wise guidance; victory depends on having many advisers."-Proverbs 24:6

As a leader I need people, more importantly I need God. Everything we have comes from God. Success is a collection of relationships. Without clients, a lawyer has no career. Without patients, a doctor has no one to heal. Without a composer, a singer has nothing to sing. As leaders our future is connected to people. Jesus constantly talked to His Heavenly Father. He talked to His disciples. He talked to everybody. At twelve, He exchanged with the scribes and priests in the temple. He talked to tax collectors, fishermen, doctors, and lawyers, He said, "I can do nothing of my own" (John 5:30). Jesus was so in tune with the voice of God and surrounded himself with others to carry out the ministry, because He saw the big picture and invited others to come on the journey with Him. Right now in my own ministry I feel that I am at a place where I am hearing so much from God and having more people step on the "bus" but I am just trying to find the right seat, because I realize that I will never be successful trying to run this race alone. My prayer is that God would give me guidance and wisdom in knowing who I can turn to.
