Principle - You cannot lead others where you are unwilling to go yourself.

I know it might sound strange, but it is a sobering reality. Sometimes we refer to it as “practicing what you preach.” Leading means you are out in front of the pack. If you have not settled things internally yourself first, you cannot expect others to jump in line and follow.

You need to believe in where you are going enough to make the necessary sacrifices to get there. The task of every visionary is to reconcile what God is showing him and then personally consecrate himself for whatever needs to be done to accomplish the task. If God is leading the leader, then it will be worth it.

“…be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” (Hebrews 6:12)
