The Psychology of Leadership.

The Psychology of Leadership.

True leadership is more than just keeping your people safe during a time of danger. It's about giving them a real sense of protection and assurance from harm, despite the dangers facing the country. It's about making the right decisions to protect the marginalized and the vulnerable, while keeping the rest of the public safe, good leaders will always reassure the people, not leaving them more vulnerable or even worse, left to die. Good leaders always recognize the Sovereignty of God in a crisis and personally ask for the assistance of God, despite the public backlash for doing so. Leaders are not just entrusted with the financial well being of the people, but also of the spiritual wellbeing of her people. In History the best leaders have always been believers in some form of a God.

Good leaders face uncertainty with faith, not with more uncertainty, also willing to give up their comfort for the comfort of the people. Good leaders always acknowledge their own weaknesses and sins, in order to make themselves available to the help that comes from a higher power. Good leadership isn't perfect but always strives to protect and comfort. Good leaders should put the people's needs before themselves to assure the people that they will be safe, and are in good hands. They will always acknowledge their own inability to solve a problem, but will reassure the people that they have faith that with God's help, anything is possible.

In times of crisis, good leadership will put their own agendas aside, in order to calm and protect the people. They will always acknowledge that evil and sin exist, and they will put measures in place that will protect the faith of her people, not destroy it. Good leadership will not interfere with the free exercise of religion, and will strive to protect the faith of the common man, not necessarily the exulted man.

Good leadership always administers justice with mercy, and in a judgment will always keep in mind the vulnerability of the one accused. Good leadership is a grace of God, and always wins the admiration and favour of the people not by force, but by goodwill. Good leadership will not take away the rights of her people even in a crisis, but will strive to find solutions to the problem, while maintaining the freedom of the nation which has been entrusted to them by God alone. This is Mike.

Some Bible Verses on Money.

  Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky.  1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that

My Story.

  In 1999 I suffered a mental health crisis and admitted myself into the hospital where I live, in which I was given a mental health diagnosis. I didn’t want to receive medication at the time, but unwillingly accepted it. I was in the hospital for about two months, when I asked my doctor if I could go home, and he said yes, even though he thought it would have been better if I stayed longer.   I was glad to be home though, but at 25, it took some adjusting to feel truly at home. One of the problems I was having at home was it was hard for me to eat the food in the house. I was having a psychosis where I felt the food wasn’t mine, and I literally had to go out to eat, or buy bread from the supermarket and take it home to eat it. Eventually this wore off, but I don’t remember how long.  I was now on ODSP and had a check come to me every month in order to have financial support. I would occasionally have a crisis, and ask my mom to drive me to the hospital, but eventually the crisis would

Why has the church lost its capacity and power?

  The church has modernized itself and in the process has lost something very valuable. It has lost its capacity to be personable. The way we reach lost souls is by seeing them, by getting to know them, and by recognizing them, but people are getting lost in the church. The church has become a busy place and is also becoming a less holy place. To make disciples we have to get to know people, and technology in the church is depersonalizing souls, and depersonalizing God for them. Faith becomes a marketable commodity, whereas in the past, churches and their leaders nourished and valued personal faith. While faith is still valued, it’s becoming something that is marketable, which reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple turning over tables (Matthew 21:12-17). The problem isn’t that the church doesn’t work or doesn’t want to share the gospel, it could be how we are doing it. The church is currently being run like a business, and each Christian metaphorically speaking has a profit val
