Passionate Leadership Confessions

Well I though I might post a quick confession I use to keep passionate about my calling and leadership.

Five quick things, that if combined with faith will cause YOU to stay committed to what you are doing. Also includes a BRILLIANT quote at the end. I honestly LOVE this quote… and it is from a Orchestra conductor… HOW MUCH MORE should we, as believers and leaders of children believe and live out the quote.

Check it out below!

As a leader I am PASSIONATE!

1. Passion demands enthusiasm! :: I am a Dispenser of Enthusiasm
   1. Ps 69:9 zeal for your house consumes me.b.Rom 12:10,11 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritua fervor, serving the Lord.
2. Passion Demands Truth :: I am a transparent leader.
   1. Jn 17:15-19 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
   2. Ex 18:21 But select capable men from all the people–men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain
3. Passion demands People :: People stuff is my ONLY stuff
   1. GAL 5:13,14 You, my brothers, werecalled to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature;rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a singlecommand: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
   2. b. 1 Pe 4:10 Each one should use whatevergift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.
4. Passion demands Fixation:: Everything I do is with all my being.
   1. a. Phil 3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
   2. b. Luke 10:27 He answered: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and withall your mind; and, Love your neighbor as yourself.”
5. Passion demands Obsession :: I keep my eye on what is important.
   1. Heb 12:2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecterof our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
   2. Heb 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

I set as the goal the maximum capacity that people have. I settle for no less. I make myself a relentless architect of the possibilities of human beings. - Benjamin Zander, Boston Philharmonic.
