Leadership Promises - Meeting a God-sized Challenge

"And it happened, when all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations around us saw these things, that they were very disheartened in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was done by our God." Nehemiah 6:16

Leadership Promises - Meeting a God-sized Challenge.

Commitment comes before anything else in a leader's life. Because Nehemiah had it and drew it out of others, the people finished the wall in 53 days, despite much adversity. Their great accomplishment so thrilled Nehemiah that he wrote, "When all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations around us saw these things....they were very disheartened in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was done by our God."

Leaders who complete a task possess these characteristics:

• Compelling Purpose: They make a great commitment to a great cause.
• Clear Perspective: They don't let fear cloud their view of the future.
• Continual prayer: They pray about everything and gain God's favor.
• Courageous persistence: They move ahead despite the odds.

If you're facing a God-sized challenge, cultivate these characteristics to give yourself the best opportunity for success. Excerpt from The Maxwell Leadership Bible.
