It is not in the make-up of leaders to be kept from leading. I know because I am one. When a leader wants to take off and run, a leader will take off and run. So what does this mean for Emmanuel?
I feel blessed to see the leaders that are in place at Emmanuel. One of my jobs as pastor, however, is to make sure the leaders are equipped to lead in their area of ministry. Do you have passion? Have you developed the needed skills? Do you understand and relate well with who you are leading? Are you walking with God? And is your ministry area focused on the purpose of doing it’s part to make disciples?
These are a lot of questions. If the answers are ‘yes’, then may you take off and run like the wind. Don’t let me get in your way. I know that, as a leader, I get a sense of freedom when someone gives me responsibility AND authority to go and do. Responsibility isn’t much fun when you don’t have the authority to make decisions. But when you have authority? Assuming you are well equipped, strong leadership can reap so many good things. I get all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it.
So know that I am looking for leaders. And when I find you, I will do whatever I can to equip you if you aren’t already. Then you can take off and run like the wind….with God right along side us.
