CHAPTER 11:
FACING FAILURE;
There are three basic reasons for failure:
1.
FAILURE IN RELATIONSHIP:
Many leaders fail because they have an improper relationship with God. They may not have
developed the proper spiritual foundations listed in Hebrews 6:1-3. When they try to build a
work for God on a poor spiritual foundation, it collapses.
Some leaders get so busy doing “God’s work” that they neglect prayer, Bible study, fasting, and
seeking the Lord and His will. Others lose their first intense love of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Instead of God and His Kingdom being the priority, cares and riches of the world, making
money, or pleasing people begin to take first place in their lives.
King Uzziah is an example of a leader who failed because of his own relationship with God.
King Uzziah started well. He sought the Lord (II Chronicles 26:6-8). He did well in battles
against Israel’s enemies (II Chronicles 26:6-8). But when King Uzziah became well known and
prideful, he began to “act corruptly,” was unfaithful to God, and no longer sought the Lord (II
Chronicles 26:16).
To be a leader, you must have close fellowship with God. Many leaders who have failed discover
that their problem began with a failure in their own personal relationship with God.
Thank you
