If you've never been a leader or occupied a leadership position, you may never fully comprehend some of the peculiar challenges of leadership. If you ever want to get to the top or remain at the top, then you must learn to think from the perspective of a leader. The challenges of leadership are very peculiar to leaders. And until you're one, you don't know what they're like.

 

The challenges and responsibilities of leadership are enormous! That's why we pray for leaders. Whether they're leaders in your church, place of work, or country, pray for them. The more you pray for them, the more understanding, tolerant, and appreciative you'll be of their work. Then God will find it fit to bring you to some position of leadership, because you're learning to understand.

 

There're some people who are quick to criticize leaders. Don't be that way. Don't always think that your leaders are taking the wrong steps just because you're not comfortable with their decision. If you want to be a leader, then never be angry with leaders. Don't be an angry and a malicious critic, because such people never contribute anything meaningful to the Church or society.

 

For your leaders, do what God says: pray for them; and secondly, esteem them very highly, in love, for their work's sake.
