Are you afraid of confrontation? (84-3)

Written by Barry-Werner on August 26th, 2009. Posted in 1 Samuel, Exhortation, Leadership Principles, Old Testament, Relationships.

Many leaders avoid confrontation at all costs. Effective leaders understand the role and positive benefit of confrontation when properly handled. Read 1 Samuel 10:17-19; 12:12-25; 13:7-15, 15:14-29.

A true spiritual leader obeys God when doing so is difficult. Again and again Samuel encountered stressful situations in which he had to confront and rebuke others for failing to trust and obey the Lord. He managed each of these confrontations with clarity, decisiveness and objectivity.
