Transitional Times Require Transitional People

I have been reading John Maxwell's new leadership book, "Leadershift". What a timely message he shares in this book. I love to follow his messages on leadership, and this may be one of his best. One thought in the book that is so key for this day is how to become transformational leaders. In this time of upheaval, turmoil, and uncertainty, this type of leadership must rise to the occasion to steer our homes, businesses, and churches through this storm.

Transformational leaders have these characteristics:
-They see things others do not see
-They say things other do not say
-They believe things others do not believe
-They feel things others do not feel
-They do things others do not do

History's greatest leaders were conceived in the crucibles of turmoil, war, persecutions, and cultural meltdowns. What we see before us is an opportunity to see a new breed of leaders arise out of the rubble of this event. It is needed in all 7 mountains of our culture. What a multitude of challenges and opportunities we have before us.

I have, around my desk, post it notes with quotes that speak into my life. This one really got my attention this morning, it is from Bob Hazlett and he says this:

"The impossible challenges facing you today are actually an invitation to experience a part of God's power you haven't seen yet."

What a great promise! I am convinced that we will see some amazing miracles in the coming months.

1 Corinthians 2:9 
"No one’s ever seen or heard anything like this,
Never so much as imagined anything quite like it--
What God has arranged for those who love him."

Allow the Peace of God to help guard your heart's and mind. We are going to see a victory!
