Why Christian Leaders Fail: Reason One
BELIEVING YOUR OWN PRESS RELEASE
“Pride goes before destruction, a haughty before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18
Humility is key to genuine success. It is one of the major contibutors to the ultimate failure of Power. I encounter numberous people who have come to “believe” their press release; meaning they love the spotlight and ultimately hear only the “good news” about themselves.
Be careful when people compliment you; it can easily become a criticism.
The truth is you are never as good or bad as people say you are.
If you are a leader, hold power lightly…because God bequeathed you with your gifts.
