READ : Isaiah 40:28-31

“…but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.” – 2 Corinthians 4:16

Someone said, “The world is run by tired people.” If you are not a true leader, you will not give up your life for anything. A non-leader is not prepared to work because he is tired. Do not allow tiredness to be an excuse. If tiredness is an excuse then you cannot be a leader. If I used the excuse of tiredness, I would not have accomplished seventy per cent of what I have accomplished.

Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” (John 10:11). Tiredness is part of giving your life for the sheep.

As soon as you begin to give up your life, it tells on you. I am not saying that every leader should be exhausted. What I am saying is that leadership is very exacting. Sometimes I see non-leaders murmuring about being tired. All they want to do is to go away. It is a known fact that many workers have no concern for their places of employment except as regards their salaries. Such people (who are usually not leaders) are not prepared to become unduly tired.

A good leader often does much hard work in secret. It is these hidden jobs and unseen pressures that make our leaders tired. If you want a life of relaxation and ease, you are probably not a leader.

Are you a leader? If you are living a life of constant ease and pleasures, perhaps you are on leave from true leadership
