Have you fully committed your leadership to principles God established in the Bible? (100-3)
Effective leadership flows from commitment to the right things. As followers of Christ, the single most important commitment of our lives is to God. Any true (and eternal) success we experience as leaders will flow from that commitment. Read 1 Kings 15:9-24.
During the reigns of Kings David and Solomon the nation of Israel was united. The 12 tribes that descended from one of Israel’s great leaders, Jacob, united as one people very similar to the United States. Each tribe retained governing leaders for their “state” but united under one central leader. After the death of Solomon the nation split into two groups, the 10 northern tribes united in a nation called Israel and the 2 southern tribes in a nation called Judah. Each nation had separate kings starting with Solomon’s son Rehoboam over Judah and Jeroboam over Israel.
