The Leader’s Motivation: A Personal Vision

And God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name Lord, I was not known to them.” Exodus 6:2-3 God knew that Moses needed to be motivated if he were to pull off the task given to him. God rekindled his vision of freeing the people from slavery. God revealed Himself in a new way, giving Moses His personal name, Yahweh (v.2-3). He never did this with Abraham, Isaac, or Jacob. God motivated Moses through a very personal vision. Leaders can indeed learn from each other, but when it comes to fulfilling a vision, we all need a personal encounter with God and a personal vision that matches who we are. Leaders need a vision that is: 1. Personal to who they are – it is owned by the leader. 2. Practical for when they live – it meets a relevant need. 3. Possible for what they have – it matches their gifts. 4. Parallel to who they are – it compliments their passion and personality. 5. Portable for where they go – it can move with them. 6. Powerful for how they live – it stretches them to accomplish more than they could on their own. 7. Profitable for what they do – it gets results. 8. Pleasurable for who they are – it brings fulfillment and satisfaction. 9. Purposeful for why they live – it fulfills their God-given mission. 10. Providential for where they are heading – it provides a God-sized destiny. How about you? Are you motivated by a personal vision that matches who you are? I’d love to talk to you personally.
