DO YOU WANT TO LAST LONG AS A LEADER?
So David reigned over all Israel and did what was just and right for all his people.(2 Samuel 8:15 NLT)
Bad leaders lord over people, they take advantage of them.
Bad politicians and leaders of some organizations often sell themselves for bribery and easy riches.
Others soon rise to public success, but then succumb to the temptation of illicit sex, fame, and the power of money.
They start out good, but end badly. They go up soon, but they fall soon.
But other good leaders like David start well and end well. They rise and remain. What was the key? He did what was just and right.
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.(Micah 6:8 NIV)
So David reigned over all Israel and did what was just and right for all his people. (2 Samuel 8:15 NLT)
Think about it:
Do you have any position in leadership?
Do you want to rise up and remain in your leadership?
What do you need to do to achieve it?
