Day 18 - The Keys for a Good Relationship

We are leaders.  God has anointed us to be leaders. In many of coaching sessions I have been told that leadership is lonely.   One states Loneliness is a required course for leadership. And for a long time I believed it…I now challenge that statement. Especially for Christian Leaders.  We have God the Father.  He is our friend.  WE are not lonely.  John Maxwell stated if you are in a leadership position, do not rely on your title to convince people to follow you.  Build relationships. Win people over. Do that and you will never be a lonely leader.

Build relationships.  To have good relationships it takes work.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 - The Message Bible states

9-10 It’s better to have a partner than go it alone.
Share the work, share the wealth.
And if one falls down, the other helps,
But if there’s no one to help, tough!
11 Two in a bed warm each other.
Alone, you shiver all night.
12 By yourself you’re unprotected.
With a friend you can face the worst.
Can you round up a third?
A three-stranded rope isn’t easily snapped.

You, God and a friend

It is important with any relationship to be diligent and a aware that the relationship that creates your three strand cord does not become a chain over time.  The relationship does not bind you in a manner that prevents you from moving in the word of God.  During these 40 days evaluate your relationships to understand which are three strand cords and which are chains.

Pastor Danielle truly ministered to us as she prayed a prayer of thankfulness to our God.
