Resilient Leadership in Church Planting: Leading Yourself to Finish the Race

The church rises and falls with the quality of its leaders. Do not take it for granted that you will finish in a good way. There are a lot of examples of leaders that stopped and also failed. Your development as a disciple and a leader will not come about by itself. You need to take leadership over your own life. It is not only because you are a model and the main builder of the culture in the new fellowship; it is also for your own health and development. The most important person you will have to lead is yourself. “Keep watch over yourselves, and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers” (Acts 20:28). Finishing the race depends upon how you lead yourself.
