Leading From Below
Servanthood is a motivation that drives behavior. A servant is not concerned about role, status or power. They are concerned about serving. They are concerned about laying down their lives for those they serve (John 10:10). Are you and I servants? Are we leading from below?
Influence and Power
Influence is the application of power. There are many ways to influence. Some are godly – some are not. Think about your leadership. How do you apply power? How do you try to influence others? Does your use of influence and power reflect Jesus and Kingdom values?
Danger Power At Work
Power is as dangerous as unstable dynamite – not only to those it is used on, but also to those who exercise it. Lord Acton, the British statesman is remembered for saying “All power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” History – including Christian history – is littered with the evidence that proves the accuracy of this statement.
