Leadership Promises - The Call Of A Leader

"In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: 'Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?' Then I said, "'Here am I! Send me.'" Isaiah 6:1, 8

Leadership Promises - The Call Of A Leader.

The first eight verses of Isaiah 6 illustrate how God calls many leaders. When Isaiah receives a vision from God, the Lord lays out a need for someone to speak for Him. God has a message and is looking for a messenger. God issued a general call, for anyone, and Isaiah took it personally. He did so because of three factors that make up a divine call to lead:

1. Opportunity: We see a specific place where we can make a difference. This has to do with timing.
2. Ability: We recognize that we have the God-given gifts to do something about the need. This has to do with competence.
3. Desire: We want to step out and address the need; our hunger pushes us. This has to do with our passion.
