The Transcending Wisdom Of Spiritual Leadership Will Energize And Elevate Other Types Wisdom
The Mt Kenya Times 
As said: Good leaders are determined. Ray Kroc of McDonald’s fame displayed this elaborately framed statement composed by Calvin Coolidge:
“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with great talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence, determination alone are omnipotent.”
Men, if we wish to be good leaders we must recognize and embrace this conventional wisdom: vision, communication, delegation and organization, demonstration, and determination. We laud and commend all this, but we must practice it as well.
But there is far more beyond this in our call to spiritual leadership, for the seven characteristics instilled in Joshua through his leadership training have no exact parallel in any management manual in the world — especially as they are presented in Scriptural bouquet. What is more, if they are embraced as disciplines of spiritual leadership, their collective energy will provide the animus for wisely living out conventional leadership wisdom. Put another way, the transcending wisdom of spiritual leadership will energize and elevate other types wisdom we have received — thus producing dynamic leadership.
Mature male leadership is rare in the Church. Are you part of the problem or part of the answer? Be honest with yourself and God. Men, Joshua’s preparation for leadership tells us that if we sincerely want to improve our leadership capacities there are some things we must sweat for:
● The commitment to and practice of intercessory prayer.
● The pursuit of a great and growing vision of God.
● A growing worship of and devotion to God.
● A big-hearted magnanimity that thrills at the elevation of others.
● A faith that transcends the doubts of others.
● A liberating understanding and embracing of one’s expendability.
HALELUJAH.
