Leadership is a gift given to people from God. Whether leadership in a family, leadership in a ministry, leadership in a company, leadership in a city, leadership in a state, leadership in a nation, leadership is a gift God gives to humanity. Leadership is government for the sake of people’s benefit. God is the overall leader of all leaders and He is generous on every occasion, He is good to all. The Bible says, “God sends rain on the just and the unjust; He is no respecter of persons; for God so loved the world He gave…” The issue of leadership is not with God it is with people.

When leaders have been raised under oppressive leaders, they have two choices, they can either do what they saw done, or they can do what they wished was done for them. Fathers who did not have a healthy father as a leaders growing up have this choice. Managers who did not have good managers have this choice. Pastors who did not have good pastors have this choice. Governors who did not have good governors have this choice. Presidents who did not have good Presidents have this choice.

Unfortunately many people are not strong enough to change the way they lead based on what they wanted, so they just repeat what they experienced. This perpetuates what I call lazy leadership. Anyone can be mean, oppressive, stingy, lazy, selfish leaders, but who is willing to stand in the gap, break the cycle of their family, their city, their state, their company, their ministry, their nation? Ezekiel 45 says, “Thus says the Lord GOD, Enough, you princes of Israel; put away violence and destruction, and practice justice and righteousness. Stop your expropriations from My people, declares the Lord GOD.”

There are people who in the secret place have broken the pattern of leadership they have seen or experienced and are going to lead in a way that is beneficial to those who they are privileged to lead. King David led differently than King Saul, and many are about to arise who will lead differently in their family, in society, in their community and in their company. It may be look too good to be true, but there is a whole new way of leading arising in our generation.
