Successful Leadership

“In everything he did he had great success, because the Lord was with him.” (1 Samuel 18:14)

After David’s defeat of Goliath he gained great fame in Israel and the affection of Saul’s son Jonathon. Saul was jealous of David’s success and failed in his attempts to bring him down. The Lord’s presence was clearly with David bringing him success in all he did.

The Lord is teaching me much about leadership from the book of Samuel. A humble spirit and obedient heart before the Almighty God will bring success in ministry. While the Lord is with me and I walk in His ways, I will successfully lead His people.

Key Principles
  1. A humble spirit and obedient heart are essential ingredients for success
  2. Walk in His ways and you will lead successfully
  3. Dare not lead in your own strength and wisdom
  4. Celebrate the successes of your team
