CHAPTER 3:
THE ANOINTING TO LEAD;
The Lord wants leaders to be successful and to impact the world for the Kingdom of God. How
can you be that kind of leader? Having knowledge of practical areas and the general tasks of
leaders will help you become a successful leader. There are Biblical qualifications for leaders
which are also necessary. Spiritual gifts, skills, education, and experience are important too.
But the most important thing for leaders is to be anointed by the Holy Spirit. Without the
anointing of God you cannot effectively lead, organize, mobilize, or evangelize. This chapter
focuses on the anointing of the Holy Spirit which is necessary for those called and chosen by
God for leadership.

To “anoint” means to dedicate or consecrate someone or something by applying oil. Oil is
symbolic of the Holy Spirit.
