The Lord Tests His Leaders
If we look at the life of Joseph we can see his life was not without testing. God has great plans for you and I, but it will include some testing, I believe even though the Lord
knew Josephs strengths and his weaknesses, He allowed testing to happen in Josephs life to make him a better leader to shape his life, his character. You and I if we are going to be great leaders,
we are going to have to endure some testing.
I think that you can see that it was Josephs relastionship with the Lord, his character that made him a great leader and useful for God. We can become great when we submit our lives to God and through His word we draw out His principles and make them our principles, His direction and make them our direction. God wants to bring you into your dream, your vision,
however it is the process that makes you a great candidate and how you handle that process that will bring you to become a great leader.
If we want to be great leaders:
- We should be prepared to be tested
- We should be willing to directed
- We should be ready for success
God will start wtih vision, then with testing, supplying direction and if we submit to the process we will ultimately be successful.
19 Until the time came to fulfill his dreams,
the lord tested Joseph’s character.
20Then Pharaoh sent for him and set him free;
the ruler of the nation opened his prison door.
21Joseph was put in charge of all the king’s household;
he became ruler over all the king’s possessions. ~ Psalm 105:19-21
