Leadership Lesson #2 : Lifting The Lid




"In the past, when Saul was our king, you were the one who really led the forces of Israel. And the LORD told you, 'You will be the shepherd of my people Israel. You will be Israel's leader."

2 Samuel 5:2.




Why did Saul as Israel's king, while David succeeded? The answer can be found in the Law of the Lid. Leadership ability is the lid that determines a person's level of effectiveness, you have to raise the lid on your leadership ability. David had many lids on his life, but they did not stop him:

1. His family
2. His leader
3. His Background
4. His youthfulness and inexperience

Ultimately, David became a great leader-yet not because he lacked limitations in life. He achieved much because he became a lid lifter.

Every leader has lids on his life; nobody is born without them. And they don't disappear when a person receives a title, achieves a position, or gets invested with power. The issue is not whether you have lids, but what you do about them.

What I say:
An excellent leader does not rely on how great or talented of your followers are. But depends on how much you rely on Him and bring the best out of them. Lets us learned from Saul failure and redeem ourselves and serve HIM with righteousness.

PRAY FOR THE HEALING WATERS

Healing Waters - rivers of living water God Does Not Discriminate, He Wants All to Be Healed This Bible Study comes from Matthew 9:35. Notice that it says that Jesus went to all the towns and villages. This is an example of how God wants everyone to hear the Word. God does not discriminate. He does not want us too either. The next thing to notice is that Jesus was not thrown out of their synagogues. He came to re-educate these people. He wanted to change their way of thinking. They obviously didn't have a problem with this since it doesn't say that He was thrown out. He wanted the people to know about the kingdom of God. He wanted them to realize that He didn't come to this earth to establish a government at that time. They thought that He did. They thought that He was going to save them from the oppression of the government. He wanted to re-educate them on this thinking. He wanted them to understand prophecy. He was there to save their souls. Something that I want you to
