Every vision has a tendency to fade, the hard work that began with a spirit of fiery can easily turn into a hollow routine work without meaning. When the pain and loneliness began to show its influence, we begin to feel unappreciated and began to become saturated, the Christian ideals of humble service was beautiful sounds in theory, but in fact proved to be impractical. And maybe one day we will say: "We are looking for a fast course, although it should be walking on other people's heads, in a way that the ideals will be achieved faster.
Indeed, we can not be denied is composed of flesh and blood and not of stone or metal, it is true that a strong man, strong weaknesses too and even leaders in the great Bible stories have flaws fatal, Noah was obey the law is a drinker "After he drank the wine, he was drunk and he was naked in his tent" (Genesis 9:21), Abraham's loyalty to God was second to none so cowardly, so its not hesitate to honor her for risking her safety . At the time he would go to Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife: "Yes I know, that you are a woman beautiful her face. When the Egyptians see you, they will say: That's his wife. So they will kill me and leave you life. Say, that you are my brother, so I treated them well for you, and I was allowed to live by for you "(Genesis 12:11-14). And he was a grumpy, also of David against five orders from the second list of law God is commit adultery, kill, steal, bear false witness, and wanted another man's wife, in a single episode in the case of moral rebellion Bathsheba, but it was Peter who boasted that covers a volatile personality.
Last sign of a Christian leader is a discipline, not only in a general sense of discipline as the ability to control passions and manage their own time and effort, but in special and specific meaning, namely discipline to hope only in God. Christian leaders must be aware of his weakness, he must know that how big a task in his waistband, and how strong the opposition parties, but he must know also how the infinite riches of God's grace.
However, our great example is the Lord Jesus himself, only he who gives strength to the weak and adds to the incomparable spirit of power, young people become tired and lethargic and your young cadet fell over but they are waiting for the Lord and wait for God to patient, would like unto an eagle rising wings to fly with the power they ran and not be weary, they walk and not become weary (Isaiah 40:29-31).
Only those who discipline themselves to seek God's face, which can keep the vision remains lit, and who lived before the cross of Christ, the inner fire still turned on again and will not unremitting. Leaders who feel strongly that rely on own strength is the weakest of all people; only those who know and acknowledge their weaknesses, can be strong with the strength that comes from Christ.
