Leadership Principles from God’s Word: Wisdom
Some wisdom food for thought • Your highest thoughts are about your God. • Your deepest conversations are in your prayers. • Your most humble posture – on your knees. • Your most precious gift is LIFE. • Make memories! Make moments! Make magic! Leadership Principles from God’s Word: Wisdom
If we truly teach, we have to touch • You cannot effectively influence the thinking and feeling of others without physically entering their space. • We have to mobilise ourselves physically into the world of others and so establish a connect and therefore lasting presence. Leadership Principles from God’s Word: Wisdom
Keep your body fresh and fit • Share it with the one person you wish not to blemish. Hence, from trust to trust. Sex is a reward for the highest form of love. To mess with sex is to insult God. Sex has been given to us for enjoyment and pleasure, but with a built-in responsibility. Never be second-hand. To the one with whom you want to share eternity, give to that person your highest herein. Leadership Principles from God’s Word: Wisdom
“I am nearing my end. I want to be able to sleep until eternity with a broad smile on my face, knowing that the youth, opinion-makers and everybody is stretched across the divide, trying to unite the nation. Nelson Mandela. Leadership Principles from God’s Word: Wisdom
On his death It would be very egotistical of me to say how I would like to be remembered. I’d leave that entirely to South Africans. There will be life after Mandela. I would just like a simple stone on which is written, “Mandela”. Leadership Principles from God’s Word: Wisdom
Never come out wounded • Yes, you must experiment, risk, discover, and venture. Never come out wounded – come through the experience wiser. • The ideal is to live in such a way that while you are discovering you will want to tell others all about it. Such a life entrenches youthfulness and presents adulthood later as a virtue for others to strive toward!
Leadership Principles from God’s Word: Wisdom
Make time for being alone • For thinking, for introspection, processing what you’re experiencing and then deciding. • Indeed, herein lies good reasoning and good choices. Then stand back and look. Perhaps differently. But, never stop thinking. Leadership Principles from God’s Word: Wisdom
When you are still and aside, learn to meditate. • Discover yourself through introspection so that you can learn to understand and accept yourself. • Inspect your uniqueness, your creation and what you are busy doing with it. Leadership Principles from God’s Word: Wisdom
Never save so much that you cannot enjoy it and life passes you by Invest your “money” in experience, enrichment and growth rather than in the bank. True poverty is someone without sensations rather than someone without money. You may not impoverish yourself while you life, thereby allowing your heirs to squander your possessions when you are dead. This is deceit. Leadership Principles from God’s Word: Wisdom
Remember always. One life, one God, one lover, one family. Leadership Principles from God’s Word: Wisdom
Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousne ss in place. Ephesians 6 Principles :14 Leadership from God’s Word: Wisdom
Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Leadership Principles from God’s Word: Wisdom

Learning, application and commitment: James 1: 22-25 • “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. • Do what it says. • Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in the mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. • But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it - he will be blessed in what he does.” (NIV) Leadership Principles from God’s Word: Wisdom
