Power is not given, it’s taken.
Let’s explore this truth through scripture and wisdom from leaders.
- “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” – Acts 1:8
2. Warren Buffett says, “The most important thing I look for is a person of integrity and good character.”
3. Power isn’t about position; it’s about purpose and influence. As Peter Drucker noted, “The best way to predict the future is to create it.”
4. John C. Maxwell adds, “Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.”
5. In Luke 12:32, Jesus says, “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.”
6. Your power lies in your faith, vision, and actions. Take it.
7. You cant pick up the load you assume is beyond your strength.
8. If you have faith which size of a mustard seed you can can order the mountain to move.
9. Once you empowered with authority you no longer need to worry about how big or tense a surbordinat is you shout orders.
All you need is faith in your capacitation.
Dr. V. Moyo
