Moses: The Plagues & the Leadership Principle of Victory

You shall say to him, ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, “Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness”; but indeed, until now you would not hear! Exodus 7:16 Do you think that Moses enjoyed confronting Pharaoh with the plagues? While he obeyed God and warned Pharaoh of each coming judgment, he asked God to send them only to accomplish his goal. In the Bible passage we see no pride of arrogance in him. He certainly did not summon the plagues to draw attention to himself. Moses simply called down God’s judgment until Pharaoh broke and released the Hebrews. The Leadership Principle of Victory states that “leaders find a way for the team to win.” In this case, several plagues were required to convince Pharaoh to let God’s people go. And how can Moses’ attitude be described during those plagues? what enabled him to win the victory he sought? The passage reveals that, in this particular case, the following attributes were required for victory: Moses was patient, consistent, discerning, prayerful, tenacious, and credible. What challenge are you facing that requires your leadership to determine a way to win? What leadership characteristics will you need to demonstrate to be victorious? Does Moses’ example help point you in the right direction? I’d love to talk to you personally.
