THE VISIONARY LEADER PART 4

A visionary leader is a "can do" person. He is God confident, bold and acts by faith. To some people, he is a risk taker. clearly, vision is a gift of faith in action. The bible says in Genesis 12.1 that the lord told Abraham,"Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that i will shew you. Before Abraham left with  his wife and Lot, he had faith to see the land God was taking him to and made those with him to follow. A visionary leader begins with one step of faith.

Success means doing the best we can with what we have.
Success   is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us.

wise leaders set personal standards of excellence rather than allowing external forces to define success. or failure for them.    

THE VISIONARY LEADER PART 3

The visionary leader is a leader and a coach combined but with the compassionate nature of christ. The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in his book "carriers of his power" says that there is a major difference between the leader and the coach. The leader is someone who shows you what to do and then merely advises you to do it. Also, the leader goes in front and calls you to follow him. The coach holds your hand and compels you to move forward with him.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A VISIONARY LEADER 

1. Absolute Faith
A visionary leader must hold on to luke 13.7 that "for with God, nothing shall be impossible" and Genesis 1814(a) " Is there any thing too hard for the lord?" He believes that the impossible or the probable can become possible. A visionary leader must have faith, because  with faith, things are not physically seen, when pictured in the mind, become real. He believes that as Gods follower, he cannot walk in ignorance and darkness. Jesus said in john 8.12, "I am the light of the world. He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life. "when the leader follows christ, his mind is illuminated to make the future clear. After creating the heaven and earth in Genesis 11, the next creation of God was light (Gen 13)    light represent vision- the light and vision of the mind.Unless the light of God shines in the heart of the leader, he cannot see far. pictures are the visual language of the holy spirit. God often speaks in pictures to leaders. for example Isaiah 11 says "the vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah....."God reveals his blue print to leaders, so that they can see.
