The Strength Of Visionary Leaders

..."Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the Lord Almighty.

 

Zechariah 4:6



Visionary leaders—especially God's people—should be the most positive, joyful people on earth. This joy should be a by-product of a healthy, intimate relationship with Jesus. God calls each of such visionary leaders, to be careful that vision is born out of His Spirit.

Faith in God comes out of obedience to God's Spirit. It is important to beware of anything that puts the burden of performance on you rather than God. There are times in our lives when God doesn't want us to climb every mountain. Sometimes He wants us to go around the mountain. Knowing the difference is the key to being a man or woman led by the Spirit.

God has called us to affect the world through His Spirit, not by our might. Have you tapped into the real power source—the leading and guiding of the Spirit? If not, ask God to reveal and empower you through His Spirit today.
