Spiritual leadership is moving people on to God's agenda.
You cannot stay where you are and go with God. You cannot continue doing things your way and accomplish God's purpose in His ways. Your thinking cannot come close to God's thoughts. For you to do the will of God, you must adjust your life to Him, His purposes, and His ways
Watch to see where God is working and join Him in His work.
Will God ever ask you to do something you are not able to do? The answer is yes--all the time! It must be that way, for God's glory and kingdom. If we function according to our ability alone, we get the glory; if we function according to the power of the Spirit within us, God gets the glory. He wants to reveal Himself to a watching world.

How do we know? Because that's what first century Christians did, and the world is still talking about it.
If you feel weak, limited, ordinary, you are the best material through which God can work.
