Leadership Lessons From the Bible

12 guys were sent out on a spying party to survey the land. Here are the results:

2 guys said “Let’s do it. Let’s go take the land. God gave it to us.”

10 guys said, “No way. There are giants in the land.
We look like grasshoppers compared to them”

2 guys said, “Man, it’s flowing with milk and honey
and look at these huge grapes we brought back.”

10 guys said, “The people are strong. The cities
have walls [obstacles}, and we saw people who
are related to a real giant."

2 guys said, “Let’s go now and take possession of the land.
We should be more than able to conquer it.”

Then the negative talk spread to the whole camp.
They said, "Oh, I wish it was like it was before when
we were in bondage [comfort zone] in Egpyt.

2 guys said, “This is a land flowing with milk and honey! Don’t rebel against the Lord, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land. We will devour them like bread.” [no problemo]

Then the 10 negative guys and the whole camp said,
“Let’s kill our leaders. They screwed up again.”
Here’s what happened next.

From Numbers 14. 36
So the men Moses sent to explore the land died in
front of the Lord from a plague. 37 They died because they had returned and made the whole community complain about Moses by spreading lies about the land.[c] 38 Of all the men who went to explore the land, only Joshua (son of Nun) and Caleb (son of Jephunneh) survived.

The 2 Positive Guys?
Joshua became the leader of the whole country when
Moses died and Caleb got a whole mountain to live on
during his latter years. Joshua 14:10-12

What kind of leader are you, or will you be? Can you see
past the obvious obstacles? Do you have Faith or Fear?

Most people won’t have your same enthusiasm for your goals.
The majority will not see your vision for your business.

Stay positive. Forget the haters.
You’ve got people to lead and a mountain to conquer.
Go for it.
