Subject: what does God say about communication? |
Bible Note: Dear preciosa, RE: “communication being a leadership quality” A picture is worth a thousand words. In leadership, a leader will be communicating this picture; sound moral principle, unimpaired, completeness, uprightness, honesty and sincerity. (2 Timothy 3:17 KJV) “That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” A leader must communicate integrity first of all, for he will be communicating himself. (Psalms 25:21 NASB) Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. (Proverbs 11:3 NASB) The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the crookedness of the treacherous will destroy them. "I am sure that in estimating every man's value either in private or public life, a pure integrity is the quality we take first into calculation, and that learning and talents are only the second." Thomas Jefferson, 1792 (Campus Crusade for Christ) Other aspects of leadership: Courage, Vision, Faithfulness, Availability, Teachability, Wisdom and Perseverance. For study, read 2 Timothy Communication: The act of imparting, conferring, or delivering, from one to another; as the communication of knowledge, opinions or facts. Know your material that you are trying to convey! (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Longfellow once said, "sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues." Careful examination of the lives of several leaders described in the Old Testament indicates that the purpose of leadership is not fame, power, or fortune, but to lead people with truth and righteousness. Leaders, as well as ordinary people, must be ethical and should not cover up injustices, even on the part of loved ones. They must also realize that no good comes from being interested in vengeance and the settling of old scores. And lastly but most firstly: Pray and seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance in all your goings and comings and be willing to accept His direction. And when you have worn holes in the knees of your trousers, get up, put on a new pair and start again. (Luke 22:42b KJV) nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. Hope this helps, terrib |
