Welcome to May, where has this year
gone already?
Every good leader needs support. Show
me a leader with out people behind them, and I will show you a leader that will
not succeed. There is too much to do without the proper people supporting and
helping a leader become successful. Supportive people are critical.
On the battlefield David had his mighty
men; roughly thirty men who were willing to do almost anything for their
leader. When Saul was still alive and David was his general the chants the
people sang out, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of
thousands,” was only possible because of the men surrounding and following
David. When David was on the run, he remained alive, productive, and even
prospered because of the men around him. When David became king, the order and
strength of his kingdom was the direct result of his men.
Leaders need support. Let me ask you,
in your church are you seen as a supportive person or are you seen as a thorn
in the flesh to your leaders? When I mean a thorn in the flesh, I am not
talking about someone who asks honest questions? I am talking about someone who
complains because they do not like anything, and instead of trying to have a
productive conversation, they instead simply wine. Are you helpful to your
leaders, giving them needed advise, lending a hand, sacrificing time and energy
all to help fulfill the task they have been given to do? Let me encourage you
to be helpful, insightful, and an arm to lean on to those given the task to
lead you and your church.
