Dag 35: God se krag in my swakheid?

4want al is Hy gekruisig in die swakheid van ’n mens, Hy leef uit die krag van God. En in Hom is ons ook swak, maar saam met Hom sal ons uit die krag van God lewe. Dit sal julle sien. 2 Kor 13:4


Ek moet moet “swak” wees, die eie ek afsterwe, sodat God deur my kan werk...

Ek deel graag die volgende gedeelte uit Bill Hybels en Ken Blanchard se boek, “Leadership by the book”:
Leadership Credo
1. I admit that on more than one occasion I have allowed my ego needs and drive for earthly success to impact my role as a leader.
2. I've come to believe that God can transform my leadership motives, thoughts, and actions.
3. I've made a decision to turn my leadership efforts over to God, and to become an apprentice of Jesus.
4. I make a daily inventory of my leadership motives, thoughts, and behaviors that are inconsistent with servant leadership.
5. I admit to God, to myself, and to my significant others the exact nature of my leadership gaps—when I behave in ways that do not make Jesus proud.
6. I am entirely ready to have God remove all character defects that have created gaps in my leadership.
7. I humbly ask God to remove my shortcomings and to strengthen me against the temptations of recognition.
8. I'm making a list of people whom I may have harmed by my ego driven leadership, and I am willing to make amends to them all.
9. I make direct amends to each person whenever possible, unless doing so would injure them or others.
10. I continue to take personal inventory regarding my leadership role, and when I am wrong, I promptly admit it.
11. By engaging the disciplines of solitude, prayer, and study of the Scripture, I seek to align my servant leadership efforts with what Jesus modeled, and too constantly seek ways to be a servant first and a leader second with the people I encounter in my leadership responsibilities.
12. Having had a "heart attack" regarding the principles of servant leadership, I have tried to carry this message to other leaders, and to practice them in all my affairs.
