As a spiritual leader, the temptation is to focus on everyone else’s needs at the expense of your personal growth. God wants you to lead out of the overflow of what He is doing in your life (Rev 10:8-11).
You can’t lead where you haven’t first been. People may do what you tell them to do, though, over time, your followers will become who you are. Decide today to feed yourself daily on God’s Word and lead out of the overflow of what He is speaking to you!

PS – the Study Guide was outstanding – is that just a PDF you have prepared for your local ministry or something you created specifically for this site?

Thanks. I created it as a personal study over a period of years and began sharing it with others.

Good stuff. We like to tell our leaders their public ministry should be the overflow, not the only flow. Going to check out the study guide now.
