AUTHENTIC LEADERS PASS THROUGH THE GATE OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD Many people aspire to be leaders. But instead of leading their people to a higher level of life and in turn making them leaders rather than followers, they lead people to death. How do we distinguish between authentic leaders who serve the people and those who serve themselves? How do we discern whether the leaders are leading us in the right direction and not to perdition?

EXAMINING THE CAUSE FOR FAILURE IN LEADERSHIP We all know how it is to be in leadership. We can never please everyone. It is extremely challenging to unite people with different personalities, interests, views and perspectives to work together. What could be the reasons why there are people who oppose us in leadership? Can we truly say with Jesus when He said, “I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for my sheep”?

Best Practices for Using the Daily Scripture Reflections
  • Encounter God through the spirit of prayer and the scripture by reflecting and praying the Word of God daily. The purpose is to bring you to prayer and to a deeper union with the Lord on the level of the heart.
  • Daily reflections when archived will lead many to accumulate all the reflections of the week and pray in one sitting. This will compromise your capacity to enter deeply into the Word of God, as the tendency is to read for knowledge rather than a prayerful reading of the Word for the purpose of developing a personal and affective relationship with the Lord.
  • It is more important to pray deeply, not read widely. The current reflections of the day would be more than sufficient for anyone who wants to pray deeply and be led into an intimacy with the Lord.

Note: You may share this reflection with someone. However, please note that reflections are not archived online, nor will they be available via email request.
