Do you lead with purpose, vision and integrity? (107-1)
A leader’s legacy is remembered several ways. There are those on our team and in future generations that will remember our personal weaknesses, others will remember our successes, and still others will keep memories of our civil or religious achievements.
As we enter the book of 1 Chronicles to view leadership principles it is important to know that whereas the books of 1 and 2 Samuel and 1and 2 Kings taught us principles of the personal weaknesses of Israel’s leaders, 1 Chronicles looks at the priestly perspective of David’s reign and stresses that leaders of purpose, vision and integrity leave a lasting legacy. Look through 1 Chronicles 1-9 and search for names you recognize from other Bible accounts.
The first nine chapters of 1 Chronicles furnish a genealogy of Israel’s leaders. The genealogies take up almost a third of the book! The amount of space given the lineages of these Jewish leaders in this God-inspired book, the best seller in all human history and the single most important book in a Christian’s life, gives some indication of the value God puts on family, past tradition, and legacy.
There are some things we can learn from this record of Jewish leaders:
· Leadership is influence, and family leaders have tremendous influence from one generation to the next.
· Great leaders among this list set up their successor for success.
· Leaders become a building block for the next generation either positively or negatively depending on whether or not they follow God’s character criterion.
· Leadership in the family is as important as leading a nation and often has longer lasting results.
· God’s word indicates that future generations are impacted by your character.
Proverbs 14:26 in the Living Bible says, “Reverence for God gives a man deep strength; his children have a place of refuge and security.”
